I understand that, but the point is this site will talk out of both sides of their mouths on it:

- Flames don't make this deal (which btw I don't even think would have been offered to us without a massive over payment because I'm sure the Ducks preferred out of division out of conference) and BT dropped the ball and should have been willing to part with the necessary assets to do it.

- Flames do make this deal and he's an idiot for giving up what could be a 10-15 pick in a deep draft year.

The cherry picking arguments that go on in here so that whatever does get done or doesn't get done to back up peoples desire to say BT is failing is just so painful.
