It was though. The Flames traded a 25 year old superstar because he forced them to and they got 2 29 year olds a prospect and a pick. The Canucks traded their superstar for 4 pieces that are all under 24 including 2 pieces that were still considered prospects and 1 pick.
One team made a trade to try and stay relevant and the other targeted pieces to start over. The Canucks realized they couldn’t compete without their superstar the flames thought they could swap 2 superstars out for 1 and still be a top team. End of the day the flames are rebuilding because that plan failed miserably
