Makes no freaking sense.
Calgary had great puck moving defensemen and puck moving prospects but had no physical defensive defensemen. There are multiple types of defensemen and we had a surplus of one type and zero of the other type. Not to mention arguably none of our prospects were ready at that point.

Makes perfect sense to me.
