I am not sure how much we benefitted as the team is likely better with Smith/Wotherspoon/Cubdari/AHLer x in the line-up and no better/worse with Diaz in line-up this year, but the writer is insane to think that getting some marginal, at best, prospects and some cap space is a fleecing.
It was a deal in which neither team really won or lose. The Flames got a warm body, the Oikers got cap space they immediately wasted. Neither team improved, neither was really hurt by the deal.
It was a pretty nothing trade an an odd one to write an article about.
