It’s now been more than a decade since the last time the Calgary Flames made a significant mid-season trade to add a player.
Ten years and two days ago, Flames general manager Jay Feaster completed a blockbuster deal with the Montreal Canadiens. The ex-GM sent struggling forward Rene Bourque off to the Canadiens alongside prospect Patrick Holland and a 2013 second-round draft pick.
On the other side of the continent, Montreal pulled Mike Cammalleri out of a game against the Boston Bruins and informed him that he, along with Karri Ramo and a 2012 fifth-round pick, had been traded to the Flames.
