Of course Calgary gave a first and missed the POs.  |
Flames did that twice. They gave a 1st for Jokinen and had the pick of their 09 or 2010 pick they decided to keep 09, trade back and draft Tom Erixon. They are forced to give up the 13th overall pick to the Yotes the next year.
2017 Treliving makes his worst trade as GM for Hamonic and the team avoids a near disaster as winning game 82 moved them ahead of the Hurricanes who went on to win 2nd overall in the lotto.
