Brett Hull was traded for an all star veteran defenceman who could play the PP and drop the gloves, as well as a high quality veteran backup goalie. Calgary had 4 young players to choose from: Hull, Nieuwendyk, Roberts, and Fleury (who had minimal value at the time). Had to give up assets to get the calibre of player coming back
