Flames sure missed out on Brandon Gormley and his 58 career games.
Dude if you want to bring up a trade to lament bring up the Hamonic move. It happened under the current regime, cost the Flames a serviceable NHL dman in Dobson, limited their prospect pool, and they won 1 playoff game with him in the lineup for 3 years and lost him for nothing. They traded a riskier pick that was close to being 2nd overall as a game 82 win had then move past the Hurricanes who did win that 2nd pick.
What are you talking about the Jokinen trade? That team failed because of critical injuries but they were poised to go on a big run before Langkow, Beetuzzi, Bourque, Regehr, and Phaneuf we’re all hurt

Was Tarasenko according to every major scout out there including Button and locals.
They also traded away their 2nd round pick that year, and the highest rated for that was in fact, Tyler Tofoli.
But I'm sure this will go much better (seeing as it's a "different regime", without any Sutter influence unlike back then...).
