But the hockey community had the Flames as a contending team after those moves before puck drop on that season.
Not sure how the goof got all that media from other cities behind him.

What bothers me is that Montreal was already getting a 1st to take on a bad contract and I don't understand how they were in any position to demand the earlier of the Flames two first round picks. If anything the condition should have been that the Flames would keep the earlier pick as a first round pick of any sort was a steep price to pay for the Flames. I just think the guy was a little reckless at the end fully knowing he had one foot out the door.
