Wow...I didn't recall that Edmonton had offered a 1st+2nd+prospect for Schneider as Dreger says in that clip. Sliding doors moment:
It's hard to believe that even Gillis would take 9OA out of conference over EDM's 7OA that year (Nurse)++, so presumably EDM was offering their 2014 1st...if unprotected it means no Draisaitl (who knows if VAN takes Bennett at 3OA and CGY gets Drai) - or more likely there is some protection on the pick so it slides to the following year and McDavid is a Canuck.

End result, Flames won their first Cup. If they had said to St Louis "we are not trading our 23 year old sniper for your 28 year old back up and a 29 year old bottom pairing defenseman" The Flames might not have won the cup.

True. Or maybe if the Flames keep Hull they win multiple cups.
