If hindsight was crystal clear, and I was part of the decision makers for the Flames, I would have never traded either:
Al MacInnis,
Joe Nieuwendyk

I have to bury my head in the sand about the Iggy trade, but both of these players should have stayed their entire career in Calgary.

From a fans and special player standpoint, I hated to see them in Blues and Stars uniforms (respectively) after dominating in Flames silks for what seemed to be an abbreviated time.

Different era today, but I would put Gio, Monahan, Johnny, and Chucky in the forever Flames players category, if there was such a thing. Untouchable, but understand that it is a long shot.
