I think that it started to leak out that Skoula and Tanguay weren't options for the Flames to take and regardless, you could argue that the Flames ended up choosing the best one.
It was interesting as I had never before or since seen a trade structured quite that way and to this day, I wonder why it was.

Getting Iginla and Regehr for Neiuwendyk and fleury is still an amazing return when you sit and reflect on it all. Funny how those trades work long term sometimes.
