But the Giguere trade i like if he resign for alot cheaper and gets back into like his glory days.
It might work out for them because of addition by subtraction meaning Dion really was that bad in the room. As far as numbers go remember these guys were getting lots of minutes in Toronto because they had nobody else don't think the situation is exactly the same in Calgary. They are also going from the soft east to the gritty west, I guess time will tell what happens to the numbers.

I don't think it's a brutal trade but it isn't taking them to the promissed land and Iggy, Kiprosieve and the rest of the cogs on that team aren't getting any younger.
