Not sure how many are clamoring for the hockey deals this team made under Sutter or Feaster. I can’t really think of a good hockey trade Darryl made and all of his good moves were trading picks as well (Kipper, Cammalleri, Tanguay, Bourque). His hockey deals (Ference, Phaneuf,) are remembered as bad deals. Feaster made one decent hockey trade in Bourque for Cammy but his Regehr, Tanguay trades were brutal and his selling deals were bad.

Brad has done a nice job of selling players for picks and has the one nice pick deal for Dougie. His Carolina deal was a huge blockbuster that worked out for both sides but better for the flames long term. He hasn’t made a deal like that in 3 years so it is time to get going.
