I think it was easy to feel like the Flames got a bag of pucks and some peanuts and a 3rd line center for Dion Phaneuf (greatest defenseman EVVAR) and that Sutter didn't do a good job of that trade.
His value as a solid, responsible player was high, but I didn't appreciate him fully till near the end of his career here, and I can't remember just what game it was, but he hadn't scored for ever, had 3 goals on the season, something terrible, and he managed to get kind of a scrambly garbage goal knocked in, and skated back to the bench and said "Still got it."
And that kind of attitude looks to be badly missing on this current roster.
