Teams are constantly trying to improve their bottom 6 as you can fill a few spots with free agents on the cheap and when you are dealing with players of this pedigree it's pretty hit and miss. Some years you may get lucky and some you may not. Reider had 10 points in 55 games with the Flames and 7 points in 44 with the Sabres this season which isn't particularly noteworthy. I don't think Nordstrom made the Flames better but I'm not sure that Reider would have made a difference.
