Well, I didn't recall an eye injury where he almost was blind, so I thought I would do my due diligence and confirm my recollection of the events. As it turned out, my recollection was much better than yours.

Doesn't change the fact that Chouinard was great, and Stillman merely good, and had has best seasons in Tampa and Carolina, not Calgary.

I guess it all depends on what you call great. Chouinard was skilled and scored points, but so does Taylor Hall. All I know is, you don't give away great players for future considerations when they are coming off a supposed big year. Great players also don't wash out of the game on a middling team a year later. On the direct comparison between Chouinard and Stillman, Guy had some great talent to play with, which was beneficial to his cause. Stillman had the Young Guns to play with. He was a bright spot in one of the darkest periods this franchise has gone through. I respect the guy for that.
