The true impact may never be known but let's just say the Jokinen trade is a lot less popular now than it was then, and he was younger.
If the Flames win the cup or even make it to the finals with Toffoli (they won't) I will happily take my lumps

Sure let's look at the Jokinen deal, which included a much higher pick (13th overall).
2009-Mar-04 Traded from Phoenix Coyotes with round 3 pick in the 2009 draft (Josh Birkholz) to Calgary Flames for Matthew Lombardi, Brandon Prust and round 1 pick in the 2010 draft
That pick ended up being Brandon Gormley. So at the end of the day what did the Flames really give up?
As for the rest of your post, if you are going to be that guy that enjoys being right because the Flames don't make the final - don't bother. Because they probably won't. So you won't be impressing anyone when you pat yourself on the back for being "right".
