Incredibly, the front page of the Calgary Sun today carried the headline "Could we lose Looch to Seattle?"
I was glad to see the trade happen but that said it is interesting how the Flames have managed to convert him into a useable chess piece (insert joke here) while the Oilers reached the end of the road with him.
Ironically, it looks like the Oilers have also reached the end of the lost highway with Neal. I expect that he will be bought out next week.
With Larsson signing in Seattle it looks like the final train wreck of the Hall trade--thanks Peter.
