Well, Gilmour was going no matter what, so the other guys were bigger losses.

The worst thing about this trade and the Phaneuf trade, is that there was NO ONE I wanted from the Leafs to come back. Maybe Wendel Clark. but that's it! We needed like 2 1st rounders!

Everything Calgary got back was small. Leeman couldn’t play anymore at all. Petit was great at first for Calgary, but then quickly faded. At least he remained an NHLer as did Berube.

Nattress may have been third best player in the deal but really his career was almost over by then. He finished out the season with the Leafs, played part time with the Flyers and then was done.

Petit had talent no question, but was frustrating. Always left you feeling there was more there - but there just wasn't.

Sorry dude, but I think we have to sacrifice you to set things right for the Flames.

I wonder how the relationship between Risebrough and Fletcher was after this trade

Risebrough had been working on another deal at the time with Hartford: Gilmour for Pat Verbeek and Jim McKenzie.

Imagine the Little Ball of Hate PLUS Fleury? That's why they'd have needed Jim McKenzie, LOL.

Doug Gilmour explains why Flames traded him to Maple Leafs

Quote:
“It was Risebrough, whose room was right next to mine,” writes Gilmour of the Flames coach and GM, whose voice quickly dropped him to the carpet.

“He was on the phone. I heard my name. I lay down on the floor beside the door that connected the two rooms and put my ear to the narrow gap at the floor. That’s when I heard it. ‘I’m going to trade Gilmour.’

“I knew then that I was finished with the Calgary Flames.”
Quote:
A rocky relationship between the two was further strained weeks earlier when a mid-November arbitration ruling – yes, it was held one day after a game – went horribly wrong in the eyes of the small-market organization.

The Flames offered $400,000, Gilmour asked for $700,000 and the arbitrator awarded the feisty forward $625,000.
Quote:
He then told a handful of teammates like Al MacInnis and Gary Roberts at a team dinner later that night.

“Guys, if I’m not there tomorrow, I’m done,” he said, drawing responses of disbelief from the lads, who urged him to reconsider. He didn’t.

The next morning he went into the Saddledome early, packed up his equipment, put it in his car and walked upstairs to tell Risebrough he was leaving to play for Team Canada.

“Well, if you walk today I’m going to trade you,” was Risebrough’s response to the man who scored Calgary’s only Stanley Cup-clinching goal.

One day later the phone rang with news from the GM he had been moved.

Because of this trade = Young Guns

And the 'I got my season tickets, did you?' marketing strategy to 'save the Flames'

Ah the 90's... At least the music was awesome
