If so then I agree ... full credit. And a huge turning point ... calling the Flames core or major core of Gaudreau and Monahan topping out at that 2018-19 season would have been a brilliant piece of asset management.

I guess their wonky playoff in '19 might have affected their market value too though.
This actually felt quite obvious at that time.
I think if you search back you'll find many posters suggesting that was time to make changes.
And even more coming around to that after the next season.

Today's trade options look bad and will not return good value, but the idea that no one should have saw this situation unfolding is completely untrue.
The GM allowed the situation to fester to this point and backed the team into this corner.
