They were bad trades. It happens. But let's not pretend we didn't loose those trades.

Granlund was useful enough, but was never going to be more than a tweener here, especially when Bennett looked like a more sure thing.
Baertschi was, in fact, a terrible fourth liner. He simply cannot play that role, and would never be a higher winger on this team. he needs second line minutes and linemates to make any impact. Even now, I think he's the product of this linemates and not a real impact player. What winger on the Flames' lines 1-3 would he displace? And if you want him on the fourth line over Brouwer and/or Versteeg/Hathaway/Lazar/Stajan/Freddie, is he a better option than Mangiapane?
