Interesting the two teams the Flames made their biggest blockbuster trades in the last 5 years are meeting in the conference finals.
This Panthers run is really showing us a potential what if with Bennett and Tkachuk who were 2 of my favorite players when they played here. The Tkachuk trade alone should win Zito GM of the year and everything he said about making that move to make them a better playoff team has come true.
With that said I will always have a soft spot for the Hurricanes for beating the Oil in 06. I also prefer our blockbuster trade with them to the one with Florida so I will be rooting for them. I think this is a toss up 7 games.
Carolina was also the confirmed runner up for Tkachuk and had a more futures based deal on the table.
