Appropriate name lol.
The Savard trade may not be the worst Flames trade ever, but the timing was just awful. Getting a useful prospect/player back in Nov 2002 could have been a difference maker in 04 and beyond.
Normally, I’d say hindsight is 2020 for a lot of deals that I look back on. I know I can be very biased when I look back at deals.
But even at the time trading Savard for a no name prospect can’t have been considered a good move. Ruslan Zainullin was the best offer that Flames got? Would the Flames have even had a Russian scout in that penny pinching era?
