Arguments on CP blow me away sometimes. I open up this thread thinking "hmm, pretty minor trade I wonder why there's so much discussion today?".

Well as it turns out there's actually posters trying to argue that a trade that swapped two expiring contracts, and opened up a forward position for us to try out some AHLer's AND gave us a 6th round pick is somehow a bad trade for the Flames, in a season that's already lost.

You can certainly argue that it's a pretty "meh" trade, I don't think you'd have many arguing that, but it's still a good "meh" trade, there shouldn't be anyone saying it's a bad "meh" trade. Yet here were are. Unbelievable.
