The Bruins deal was Matt Bartkowski, Alexander Khokhlachev and a first-round draft pick. Not much better.

I remember some people thought Khokhlachev would have been a nice add. Did well in the AHL, but ended up with 9 career games in the NHL. Zero points.
In the end, the Iginla trade was a lose/lose situation for the Flames, but it didn't help that they essentially tanked both the 1sts that they got for Iginla and Bouwmeester (Poirier and Klimchuk).
