Most people interested in the Flames, for example, barely remember or have no interest in discussing the Phaneuf, Gilmour, or Iginla (either of them) trades. A very select group bring them up as reference points, and an almost non-existent number of people still spend time discussing them years later.
It’s just a trade, it’s not a “big part” of Flames history. The cup was a big part of Flames history, 2004 was a big part, Iginla was a big part. Huberdeau might go down as one of the most disappointing and ultimately forgettable players in Flames’ history, but the vast majority of people who recognize that don’t feel any need to replay how he got here every few weeks.
Stuff like this is why fans having more inside information on the contract and trade side of things really just makes sport worse.

The cap took so much fun out of hockey discussions for me. All of them became cap based. It was good for the sport, but it still sucks.
