Yeah. From 2011 to 2016 the Flames had acquired enough young talent to try to build around (Gaudreau, Tkachuk, Monahan, Bennett) then you also had Gio, Brodie and Backs coming into his own. obviously Bennett didn’t pan out and Monahan’s career was ruined by injuries, but I can’t fault the org for wanting to try to contend with those guys. The time to trade Gio was during the bubble season before the expansion draft
