Crap... Health concerns of brule stall deal. Awaiting review.

Not too happy to see Reggie gone, but the Flames did manage to dump 7 million in salary, get younger, AND sign Tanguay to a long term deal, so it's not all bad.

Robyn Regehr
Ales Kotalik
2011 2nd round draft pick
Flames get:
Butler
Bryon
Your a terrible GM Feaster. You reached Sutter level.
huh? It wasn't a great trade but it was a good dump of salary spent on an ever so getting older and slower defenseman. We now signed Tanguay and have some cap room for another signing. The only thing I'm not excited about is Butler... he was key in the Buffalo series loss to Philly!
Yikes, Iginla and a healthy Richards would be a deadly combo....
I'm not too sure how much space Calgary has but they can spend 10% over the cap(before season starts) and after signing someone like richards can try to clear further space by shipping away Hagman.
Richards has already said he doesn't want to play in a "hockey market". That's a bit of a WTF head scratcher, but whatever.
Give the Flames a few more years down their current road and we might be putting a tarp over 4000 seats again and calling 15,000 a sellout, again, though.

Then why does he have Toronto on his "preferred cities"
And Vancouver was one of the cities he would waive his NTC to go to, the Canucks almost had a deal for him but Tampa opted for Dallas offer (Smith back then was considered better than Schieder)

Feaster could have at least tried to get Luke Adam or Mcnabb in the trade, but he went for some under players that might not make it to the NHL.
The Flames don't seem to understand that you need to go for the Cup or the lottery.
Dorking around with piecemeal signings and trading underachievers for more underachievers accomplishes nothing, except maybe wasting the rest of Iginla and Kipper's careers chasing the 7th or 8th spots.
Prev
We wouldn't just trade Regehr for nothing.
In the last 20 years the Flames have traded OUT of the first round more often than not.
