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.

Kuzmenko was the oldest piece in the Frost/Farabee trade, so it is kinda the same.
Rossi also will be getting close to 26 a year from now.
