Yeah, it's crazy man.
I mean, St.Louis lost Pietrangelo for nothing.
Boston lost Krug for... nothing.
Arizona lost Hall for... nothing.
Vancouver lost Toffoli, Markstrom, and Tanev for... nothing.
Edmonton lost Larsson for... right, nothing.
Florida lost Hoffman for... nothing!
Toronto lost Barrie for nothing.
Washington lost Holtby for nothing.
Chicago lost Crawford for... nothing!
Tampa lost Shattenkirk for... you're catching on... nothing.
This was all before Columbus lost Panarin, Duchene, and Bobrovsky for nothing, the Islanders lost Lehner for nothing, the Sharks lost Pavelski and Nyquist for nothing, the Avalanche lost Varlamov for nothing... etc. etc. etc.
It's almost as though teams lose good players (or at least some with clear value), sometimes a number of them at once... for nothing, all the time, every year.
Or not. Maybe it only happens to the Flames. NBD.
