No they didn't. Both teams lost that trade. The Flames made the deal to get in the playoffs and failed every year until last. Flames did make my last year and Stajan scored the GWG in game 6 but he was on his second contract with Calgary. At the end of the day Stajan was brought in to be a top 2 centre he never panned out. Hagman was lost to re-entry waivers, Mayers left as UFA, White was traded a year later. Phaneuf made the playoffs once with the Leafs and has been a decent top 4 Dman for them but was never and will never be a #1.
In my opinion that trade looked like a clear home run for the Leafs and ended up being a bust for both teams. Toronto is in rebuild 2.0 and Calgary did not make the playoffs again in the Iggy-Kipper era
