Yeah, for the record, I know this is probably more of an argument about semantics, but I view this Vancouver trade to be an actual rebuilding trade... not any of the ones the Flames did. It's why people in the media use the word "retooling" when talking about the Flames' moves. This Vancouver trade is what a rebuilding trade looks like.
I'm not going to argue about what the differences are between the this trade and the ones the Flames have made (only talking about the last couple (few?) years). If anyone thinks this trade is the same as trading for Frost/Farabee, Kuzmenko, Sharangovich, etc, then there's no point discussing anything else.
