Of course, the way things actually went, the Flames have neither player, and none of the assets they got are in the NHL yet (so we can pretend they simply don't exist)… so we all get to hate on the GM even more, which is clearly a win for everybody.

I think if Bennett was doing this, or even 50% of this, for Calgary, they would've protected him.. no questions asked. We probably lose Dube in that time line. Pick your poison.
Kind of crazy that the Flames were no matter what, going to lose someone good to Seattle. Ironic when you consider the ongoing talent deficiency that's plagued the roster for years.
