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.

My recollection was that Tanguay was never given as an option....The Flames wanted him as a choice, but the Avs wouldn't include him.
So it was Abid, Regehr, Parker or Skoula.
I wanted them to pick Skoula.
I heard, I forget from where, that the Flames top 2 were Parker and Regehr.
