It was tough.
It was another moving key pieces of a team that should have won at least two cups but didn't deal.
As it turned out though the Flames got five years each from the three players, while Suter was moved quickly to Chicago for next to nothing, Drury only played 50 games in Hartford and was lost on waivers, and Ranheim never got back to his Calgary production level.
Easy win for the Flames, but a loss of another storied player in Suter.
I can remember thinking the Flames were cup bound for sure as Suter always missed the cup runs and was traded. Could have been too if they didn't lose three straight overtime games to Vancouver.
