Nobody ever knows if a decision will be correct. I was correct then. That doesn’t mean anything to anyone but I present it as a data point that the geniuses of CP are not always right about what they defend and prognosticate.
Also you should try sometime having some ideas of your own rather than just condescendingly talking down to people. I never see you much making any pontificating on what the Flames should or shouldn’t do. To then go belittle those that do doesn’t make you look as smart as you think it does.

The Flames wouldn't have gotten a ransom though.
They would have gotten some combo of a late 1st, worse roster player, and extra picks . B prospect
And then... Who Cares? Would another Zary on the roster right now really matter?
Late 1sts are the most overrated asset in the league. You have a 25% chance of even an NHL regular and it takes 4-5 years to see them materialize
The Flames should have gone more "All In" - But we didn't have all our ammo because BT wasted it over the years!
No team at 111 points was trading their (or close too) best player. That's insanity. By that logic WHY would any other team trade for him knowing he's hitting FA?
