Kipper for a 2nd
Langkow for Gauthier and Sapyrkin
Commodore for a 3rd
Nieminen for Jason Morgan
Reinprecht and Warrener for Drury Begin
Bourque for 2nd
Cammaleri for 1st and 2nd
Tanguay for Leopold and 2nd
Huselius for Montador

Guy made quite a few solid to amazing trades. Yes he may have traded more picks than you like but this was a different time. There was far less emphasis on drafting and developing and the Flames were in win now mode. Picks didn't have the same value that they do now. And to be fair Sutter is the one who realized that their needed to be a change in drafting philosophy and is the one who implemented that change in 2007. You could easily make the arguement that Feaster isn't seen as having draft success without the philosopshy changes to drafting that Sutter made. Maybe he reaped the benefits of that? I just think people forget all the great things that Sutter did do in his time here.
