The Sharks also got extremely lucky in the Thornton and Burns trades.
What they have done is EXTREMELY difficult. |
The Flames got lucky in the Kiprusoff trade, what's your point? It is not like those players were only shopped to the Sharks. The Sharks were constantly able to draft/develop a stream of cheap young players to step up and fill in.
Maybe the Flames are trying to do what the Sharks did. They are just terrible at it.
