even #6 Engelland was a UFA and Smid a trade
Might sound like I am condescending but that is what happens when you argue with facts rather than just relying on opinion.
2004 cup run defense top 4
Leopold traded from the Ducks
Regehr trade from the avs
Warrner trade from Sabres
Ferrence traded from Penguins for future considerations

You weren't condescending. Until you decided to be. Facts are facts. Interpretation of the facts are opinion.
The fact that the Flames have found D outside of the draft does not equal top 4 D being easy to find outside the draft.
You would be much less annoying if you didn't treat people like they were morons. Especially given the overall quality of your average posts.
