I know there are a ton of FLames fans that are upset with the Phaneuf deal, but you guys did pretty good.

As long as you make the post season and re-sign Ian White, the deal will still be close to even. IF you can get Stajan to re-sign then I think there is no way to find a loser in this deal.

Give Hagman a chance. He has some very good skill. I am shocked Jokinen was moved before the two Finns had a chance to renew their Florida friendship. I would have thought the two of them would have made for a potent secondary scoring unit.

Stajan has been a favorite of mine for several years. But you need to take him for what he is. HE is not the answer to the Flames #1 center problem however. HE can do it, but he is not the #1 on a championship team.

YOu will learn to love Ian White. Give him 6 years at 3m per and before his contract is done he will be viewed as one of the best deals in the NHL.

Before the Jokinen deal I would have thought that this was enough to move Calgary up the standings. This deal is a good one for both sides.

The Jokinen deal however, has me shaking my head. I hope there are more moves to come.

I Agree with Charlio The Deal Goes both ways i am happy with the deal for both sides hopefully the players that got traded help the respective teams in the long run.

Almost half the flames have played for the Maple Leafs! Fire anyone named Sutter and try again! Maybe they'll hire Cliff Fletcher or Gord Stellick.
