A look back at the 1980 trade between the Bruins and Flames

The day that 2 traded draft picks and a national hero altered the future of one franchise.

As the Bruins make their way to the Scotiabank Saddledome to battle the Flames Friday night, I thought it might be fun to look at the trade history between the two teams. We're all familiar with the recent deal for Dougie Hamilton and the failed deal for Jarome Iginla. You might be surprised to find out that the two teams (including the Flames time in Atlanta) have only traded with each other five times. The Hamilton deal is noteworthy because of his star potential and because it's recent.
