At the time me and my friend hated the Kipper trade, we wanted them to deal Nabokov so bad. They have dedicated themselves to Nabokov - they'd likely trade Toskola and Nolan Schaeffer (I think I butchered both spellings) before they ever trade him.
Two other things. The Flames really got a steal with that, but the Sharks used the draft pick to nab defensemen Marc-Edouard Vlasic who many feel is playing well beyond his age right now. I don't know if any of you guys have seen him out there but I think I know why people are high on him. The other thing is that I can't complain about the goalie situation here right now - it seems they are basically just alternating back and forth between Toskola and Nabokov until one really slips up, and so far it has worked out very well as both goalies have turned out fine performances.
EDIT: I never realized that Finland produced so many fine goaltenders, pretty interesting.
