Or they could have just built a better team and had him retire a Flame.
I guess I just wish the Flames ownership & management would allow for this. Draft and/or keep your best players until they retire.
The Flames have sucked for a long time. The two names getting thrown around as bigger than the team in Gaudreau and Iginla are the main reasons Calgary has seen any playoff success in the past ~30 years.
Sure, the theory that trading your best player when his value is high might pan out, but cup champions don't really ever do that.
