I just don't want the Flames to be that team.
Understand?

When Bourque was traded he had just come off of 3 consecutive 20 goal seasons. His 3 seasons before that trade were
Year GP G A PTS
08/09 58 21 19 40
09/10 73 27 31 58
10/11 80 27 23 50
Even the year that he was traded he was on pace for 28 goals
His PPG in the previous 3 seasons was 0.7 PPG
There is a pretty good case to be made that Bourque was a much better at the time of the trade than Stewart is right now.
Either way I agree with you, Stewart is awful and even Reinhart and a 3rd would be too much. I would rather wait until the offseaon and sign him to a 2 year deal or something if Treliving wanted to take a chance on him.
