A team anchored by Getzlaf+Iginla+Kipper was definitely a Cup contender.

Imagine if Phaneuf was offered for Thornton? So many problems would've been solved in one blow. Phaneuf was likely too unproven at the time but the rumored regehr+ for thornton move probably wins us a cup with Iginla pumping in multiple 60 goal seasons. Too bad sutter couldn't make that happen. Sturm primeau and stuart was such a joke of a return and so, so beatable. Probably one of the most lopsided trades of all time.
Shame we ended up with matt stajan and paul byron as the principle returns instead years later. Depressing really.
