Just a quick question. I know that these are extenuating circumstances, but am I wrong in thinking that I've never seen a GM lose so many players for nothing?
Hamonic, Brodey, noe Gio. Have their breen other lost Assets that we could have gotten something for, or am I just biased?

At the deadline Hamonic was injured and then had a low dollar contract as a UFA in the following off-season. I don't understand why many Flames universally seem to think that he was ineffective while also thinking there was a missed opportunity to recoup value (again particularly since he was injured)
Brodie is a different situation. One could argue they should have traded him but they were in the playoffs and that wasn't going to happen.
This team has been terrible managing it's asset base overall - trading players too late or not at all and not getting enough value out of them. But it also comes down to the strategy central to it all - to compete.
Teams lose good players. They key is having a pipeline coming along to replace them. And then using the cap space gained effectively.
