There are no dislikes because any sane Flames fan would avoid revisiting this trade like the plague, and every sensible Leafs fan flocks to this video like a moth to the FLAME (pun intended)
The coming & going of Joey Mullen & Doug Gilmour marked the beginning and end of the golden era of the Flames. Both were rip-offs. Two Calgary rip-offs of St. Louis, first the Joey Mullen trade, then the Doug Gilmour trade, turned the Flames into legitimate Stanley Cup contenders. The trade of Gilmour to Toronto, and letting a still productive Mullen go to Pittsburgh (to win two more cups) ended that. Leeman was a bum with one fluke year in a defensively weak NHL. Risebrough was one lousy GM.
Of course,neither the Leafs nor the Flames made the playoffs that season.Although Toronto did make a push in the second half,Calgary were a huge disappointment pretty much all season and this would be the first time that the Flames would miss the playoffs since first relocating to Calgary.
Hmmm....who won this trade,I wonder?The Flames didn't have one player left at the end of the following season when Gary Leeman got traded to Montreal.

This was the beginning of the end for the Flames. After this they dumped Macinnis, Fleury, Roberts, Suter, Niewy, Otto, etc.

It's incredible how the media at the time did not immediately see this as one of the most lopsided trades in NHL history.
