Really surprised that so many people didn't know Eakins played on the Flames briefly.
To blow minds further, there was some talk/rumor in 1996, during training camp, that UFA Kevin Lowe was going to join the Flames, but Edmonton stepped in and signed him near the end of camp.
As incredulous as that sounds now, that was nothing compared at the time to the Flames actually signing Steve Smith the next year, then Grant Fuhr.
