Held onto Makarov for too long, guy was in his 30s by the time the team traded him.
Fun trade tree: Makarov got flipped by the Whalers as part of the trade to move up from 6th to 2nd in the '93 draft where they drafted Pronger, who they traded for Shanahan, who they traded for Primeau, who they traded for Brind'Amour.
The pick the Flames got for Makarov they used to select Jason Smith (1974), a defenseman from Calgary, not to be confused with Jason Smith (1973), a defenseman from Calgary.
