Contextually (for you) we picked up the 3rd or 4th most important player on a cup winner, who prior to that one season had a reputation as... frankly... a loser. That's why he was run out of Toronto.

You said you advocated for the Flames to sign Strome, stating that would have been better.
I said you don’t know that.
PF then said you had at some point stated the Flames should have traded Monahan a 1st and Coronato for Miller (bad) and also stated that would have been better. You then doubled down on that with a simple point total stat comparison which, as I pointed out, excluded all context. Kadri wanted, and by many accounts, still wants to be here. Miller seems far less reliable in that aspect. If you want to argue that, go ahead. Both you and I would be speculating but the anecdotal evidence seems pretty straight forward.
I countered your simple scoring stat comparison with ‘how many cups has Miller won’ but you missed the point. That being your case is weak if all you’ve got is scoring stats comparison and a guess.
You then started to paddle on about Kevin Low and the Oilers……touché! well played.
Away back to arguing with 2-3 other posters that seem to be aligned with rebutting your arguments on revisionist history and selective memory recall while grasping at straws to solve no issue whatsoever.
