Funny giving credit to BT for Gio though.
Also interesting citing ok signings like frolik and talbot... No big wins really, just acceptable but even then resulted in no asset accumulation really in the end. And really, any value there was totally negated by catastrophically stupid moves moves like Neal, Brouwer and Raymond. We still have brouwer's cap hit. The Neal signing cost us a long term deal on Tkachuk that will likely nuke any trade value he has by the time Boston finally gets around to dealing with it.
Seems to be working this year lol...
Did you watch this team in 2001/02?

Mason Raymond was a catastrophic signing? Tough crowd.
I’m touched by your tale of a six year old boy’s memories of the cup winning Flames. Thank you for sharing.
Take a look around the league and tell me who’s knocking it out of the park. Especially from the Canadian teams.
