Exactly.

All I said was that if TT was a Flame and he had 8pts in 13 games we would all be just as happy about that as well.

Except it wouldn't have happened for him as a Flame. That's the point. Nothing about his game would have even gotten him into all 11 playoff games the Flames played. And in those games he wouldn't have played with a Sharp or a Seabrook or a Keith. Probably not even a Vermette, though Backlund and Stajan might be close with some homer vision. The best he would have done would be Brodie, while hemmed in his own zone because Brodie's partner was Engelland.

I'm not even saying TT is some amazing player we should have selected

...You're taking sides with people who ARE saying that.

I'm just saying there is no need to try and diminish what he's done because we didn't draft him.

Pointing out the context of his statistics is not "diminishing what he's done".
