Again these ‘their fate is sealed’ comments don’t always age so well. Same could be said for the Dallas Stars and the contracts they handed out to Seguin and Benn.
Less than two seasons ago Erik Karlson and Jeff Skinner were two the worst contracts in the league.

Just because Flames fans thought we should have outbid St Louis doesn't make the trade brutal. O'Reilly is a 50-60 pts guy. Nothing brutal about acquiring two 1sts and a 2nd.
