Nope. I'm not. How did you infer that? I commented on the general consensus at the time that Drouin was a problem and that Stevie Y was going to be forced to sell low. Stevie came out looking smarter than everyone else.
I'm kind of sad Calgary did not get Drouin. First time because I smelled a deal, second time because the trade was so reasonable. He'd look great on the Flames protected list, and first line next year. Although I agree with the sentiment that Flames couldn't have offered similar value.
So, not really sure what you're on about.
