Hughes was the oldest piece in the trade which was not the case when Calgary acquired Farabee and Frost. Farabee is turning 26 in a couple months same draft as Hughes. Rossi is from the same draft as Zary who some consider part of the Flames future. I also liked the Frost/Farabee deal for Calgary
The Flames started trading their vets for picks when they sent Zadorov to the Canucks over 2 years ago and the Canucks started now.
I am sure the Canucks would rather have kept what turned out to be the 12th pick in the draft for Marcus Pettersson that was a stupid win now move to try and convince Hughes to stay. Dumb move.
