Yup.
St Louis was a guy that admits himself that he got a lot better after leaving Calgary. Was stupid to buy him out but it was more bad luck that he blew up in Tampa Bay.
Savard already had 50 and 60 point seasons as a Flames player, was 25 years old, and you traded him for a former 2nd round pick that had shown nothing in Russia.
