On Chouinard's success with McDonald, he was so important the Flames traded him that summer for futures. Guy was very skilled, but he was not the type of player the Flames were interested in. The arrival of Bridgeman and Risebrough made guys like Chouinard an after thought.

You are cheating and actually looking this up. I am going by memory.
Doesn't change the fact that Chouinard was great, and Stillman merely good, and had has best seasons in Tampa and Carolina, not Calgary.
