Back to EpisodesFlames Trade Deadline: Tanking for Future Stars
Description
The Calgary Flames, aiming for a Stanley Cup win after nearly forty years, plan to trade key players and tank for a superstar forward. In a 1999 trade, they sent Theo Fleury and Chris Dingman to Colorado for Rene Corbet, Wade Belak, a draft pick, and future considerations. Fleury and Dingman found success elsewhere, while the draft pick was lost. However, the future considerations resulted in a steady defenseman, Robyn Regehr, who played a significant role in the Flames blue line for over a decade.
