I'd say Gilmour and Savard are 1 and 2 respectively.

The Iginla trade just doesn't even come close. The Flames got a first round pick for an old rental. The prospects were lacking, but this trade isn't even in the 10 worst in Flames history.

The Hull trade could be seen as bad, since he went on to be a top 5 scorer in NHL history.
But at least the Flames won a cup with the assets they got for him. And Hull was pretty one-dimensional.
