Had better be budget plus!
Doug Gilmour > Gary Leeman
Jamie Macoun > Michel Petit
Rick Wamsley > Jeff Reese
And then the less comparable ...
Kent Manderville
Ric Nattress
Craig Berube
Alexander Godynyuk
#6 defenseman vs top of class enforcer ... Calgary wins?
neither prospect really turned out.

I always argue that that trade was all about money and what the Flames were not willing to pay. Gilmour went from $500K to $1m per year with TO. Nattress left a year later to double his salary. TO doubled Macoun's salary. Wamsley was the only one who didn't double his salary.
It was essentially $2.23M out for $1.23M in (not including the prospects).
