However, that was soon forgotten when the Blues sent Glimore and Mark Hunter back the other way. But what really hurt was the trade to the Leafs where the accumulation of player for the Cup win is erased by that one trade. This pretty much began the descent to the Young Guns era. Can't believe history repeated itself again with the Phaneuf trade. This thread should be kept as a history lesson to look back as the successes and failures.

Not sure what you're saying here but the Flames already had Gilmour when they traded Hull.
Getting Hull was a steal for the Blues but last I checked, there is a trophy that is considered more valuable than any other.
