I hope this trade has to opposite effect on both teams than the Phaneuf trade. The Phaneuf trade was largely viewed as a win for the Leafs but in the end both teams lost as the Leafs rebuild didn’t move forward and the Flames were unable to avoid their inevitable rebuild (or get back to the playoffs under the Iggy/Kipper era)
I am hoping this trade works out for both team. I hope the Flames talk about their top line RW and top poring D in a couple years and the Canes have their number 1 Dman and are able to sign Fox.
