The Flames have *sucked* this year – terrible goaltending, terrible coaching decisions, players not performing up and down the lineup, boring hockey, losing a league-leading number of one-goal games, only team in entire NHL to not have a comeback victory when trailing going into the third, and also sucking in 3-3 overtime (if they’d won even half the dozen or so games they lost in OT, they might still be squeaking into the playoffs. Hell, I don’t think the NHL tracks this but would swear they’ve set a record for hitting posts!)
As is frequently the case, they’re a bubble team and so the NHL Trade Deadline, where a team might load up for a final push or accept their fate and sell of assets, is where the Flames made perhaps the most boring trade in Flames history – two grunt brothers for each other along with an exchange of crappy d-men.
Heck, I’d think this trade is just to save money on getting a name plate made for a jersey as much as anything!
The only good thing to come out of it was the edit someone made to one brother’s Wikipedia page:
