Easy to say now, but put it in context: Would you have traded Sven Baertschi for Bishop at this time last year?

Nope. I don't believe Conacher was as valuable last year at this time as Baertschi was. And Baertschi is clearly more valuable now.

We won't ever know what OTT would have demanded from us for Bishop. To say they would have demanded Baertschi is quite presumptuous.

Who's to say we weren't?

What could we have offered?

Surprised O'Brien wasn't put on waivers so far. Maybe Burke thinks he can trade him with some salary retention?

Because there are a lot of posters here that thinks Calgary should pick up every available players in the NHL. If someone mention a player even though he is not that good, we will always see Flames should go after him.

He cleared waivers more than a month ago.

Its funny how Scott Gomez went from being a player being paid 6-10 million dollars and being a decent player too making 700,000 and being placed on waivers. Has anyone been claimed yet?

Maybe Corvo will be claimed by Carolina and he can play for them for the 4th time in his career

Conacher made it exactly 1 spot.

Does the Potter claim impact any possibility of Boston still holding interest in Butler?

What else did we have this time last year that compared to what Conacher was doing? It was a bad read by Ottawa to take Conacher, but they clearly were looking for young scoring talent. We didn't exactly have much to offer.
