Why shouldn't it be close? Just because Stillman played in Calgary longer? Because he played in Calgary more recently than Chouinard?

I don't equate Chouinard with the Calgary Flames to be honest with you. He was a good player for the Flames, and had a great first year with Calgary, but I'll always think of him with the Flaming A on his chest. Another thing I didn't like about Guy was he and as a country club player. He was also a guy with a losing mentality and was one of those guys that teams couldn't wait to get rid of. Case in point, the Flames literally gave away Chouinard to the St. Louis Blues for nothing, or what we call future considerations. Chouinard was out of the game a season later. I just never thought much of him as a hockey player, and as it turns out, neither did other teams.
