History will tell but when you label their package as "junk" it is designed to suggest somehow Tree screwed up.

I stated several times along the way that if Krebs was put on the table that it would like be over. So this isn't revisionist history by me.
I agree with you that Krebs is a quality prospect and probably ranked higher than Dube by those around the league.

But I do think the Vegas offer could have been topped if you're hell bent on Eichel. Maybe Mangiapane? Or maybe add another first to the mix.

The Flames offered what they did. As you say, history will tell if that was the right decision. Personally I'm a little skeptical. The Flames biggest problem, and its repeated by many on here is what when they lose, their best players (Tkachuk, Gaudreau. Lindholm) were not as good as the other team's best players.
