Steve Dangle takes a look back at how the 2015 trade deadline deal that sent Curtis Glencross to the Washington Capitals turned out to be a huge deal for the Calgary Flames in retrospect.

Who's the best player in the deal…. The answer is Adam Fox
The only Caps trade tree you do and it makes the Caps look terrible
This aged very well looking at the current season.
Sad thing about Adam Fox is that it was common knowledge that he wasn’t going to any team outside of New York. That’s why Calgary traded him despite him being a great prospect.
Man the 5 piece deal has some names
Adam fox refused to sign in calgary and Carolina and declared he would only play for the rangers. He's incredibly lucky they signed him because his douchebag attitude would get him signed almost no where else.
Fox was a douche who would only sign in NYR. looking at the flames haul this year wow thats stacked
Hey Steve, 2022 calling. Kylington is great, Lindholm is great.
Fox is doing great with NYR. Dougie is a Devil and out injured. Flames win.
1 year later, this has aged like fine wine.
Hanifin has 43 pts in 75 games and is a top pairing 2 way dman.
Kylington is a top 4 dman with 29 pts in 67 games in his first full season with strong defensive metrics
Lindholm is getting Selke discussions and has 39 goals and 78 pts in 76 games.
Flames now have a 27 year old 1C and 25 year old 1D and top 4 D from this trade tree, and all three are only getting better.
Watching this again when all three of Lindholm, Hanifin and Kyllington popping off this season makes this even better
Wow you can look at this right now say the Flames won this one
Look back into this, the flames players have exploded since, all 3.
This video has aged very well. lol
You clearly didn’t do ur research on the fox trade. He passed on Calgary and Carolina not the other way around.
Oooooo Adam Fox has made this so, so much worse
I hope there will be a trade tree episode that will put the Capitals in the better light. Every team makes at least one bad trade in their history, but as a fan, I feel the Glencross and Erat trades should not define our team identity. The Capitals have made excellent trades in their history. Trading for Langway saved our team from leaving DC, while acquiring Oshie helped lead us to our very first Cup win. Yet when casual fans (and Yinzer Penguins fans) think of a trade the Capitals made, it's always one of those awful trades, and I absolutely hate it when Yinzers use that to crack "Ha Ha, Cleveland Browns" low hanging fruit jokes at us.
Context: the Cleveland Browns are a football team based in Cleveland, Ohio, and since their return to the NFL in 1999, have been a laughing stock cause of how inept the front office is at building a team, which in turn contributes to losses, draft busts, and a lot of jokes. Everyone and their grandmother makes Browns jokes, but some Yinzers (residents of Allegheny County, where Pittsburgh is located) have a hard-on for laughing at the Browns at every turn, since their hometown Steelers are rivals of the Browns, and until recently, have been the Steelers' favorite punching bag.
Let’s revisit it. Fox was best player, Lindholm though 🙌🏽
One caveat, you said Calgary passed on Fox. They didn't. He passed on them. Wanted to play for the Rangers all along and wouldn't sign.
Trade trees are intriguing. Good presentation
Lindholm, Hanifin, and Kylington who is now his defense partner, are all lights out for the Flames now. This was a really good trade for the Flames and I didn't realize it started with the Glencross trade
This looks so be good going into the 22/23 season
Brad Treliving was fleecing teams 7 years ago! What a gm
This trade tree is still alive
…and explode it did! Still aging well for the Flames.
Flames fan here from the summer of 2022, yeah Kylington, and Lindholm have been huge
Wow, all those dudes, crazy!
What a solid swindle by Brad back in the day. That trade is still doing wonders for the Flames franchise.
Great analysis of trade. Calgary didn't "pass" on fox. He didn't want to play there. Kylington had great year last yr. This yr AOL for whatever reason. Hamilton? Didn't want to be here. We got 2 very very good players from canes. BTW that one playoff series we won in 2015 was only one from 2003 until 2022. Yeah!
