It was actual one second and one third, not two seconds.

Traded 13th overall and 66th overall for Dach, who was coming in with a career high of 26 points and has not done much better in Montreal.

Traded 31st overall and 37th overall for Newhook who had a career high of 33 points coming into Montreal.

Not exactly rebuilding trades. Flames fans will have something to worry about when the Flames trade the Vegas first and their second for Samoskevich (which would be roughly the equivalent of the Newhook trade)
