This is top to bottom stupid. Gaudreau to Vegas makes no sense for Vegas
Morrisey is a good d man for a long time on a good contract, Winnipeg would be brain dead to move him and Giordano doesn't get you a sniff.
Hanifin is in the same boat as Morrisey and is only getting better on an even better contract, that's beyond a dumb trade for a guy who is boom or bust.
Just because as an Oilers fan you rebuilt this team it doesn't mean the Flames should take the Oilers approach to defense, that is seriously lacking the defensive zone prowess that a high caliber team needs.
Getting Lucic was a product of getting rid of Neal which is a great move, Neal would have produced nothing in Calgary because he didn't have two other players shooting the puck off his stick on the PP and he wasn't good enough to play in the top 9 on the wing. Lucic is liked in the room takes up way too much ice time but shows a hint of effort as opposed to Neal who was ducking scrums and turning away form any contact in the playoffs for the Flames.
i don't think you could have done worse at this.
