The reason I went there with Boes, is because I have family in Calgary involved with alot of hockey, where a certain coaches dad lives and is involved...and hinted maybe Boes would prefer to play else where.
The Tampa trade i thought worked for 2 reasons. A blue line with Hughes and Rathebone would be nice, but small. Tampas cap makes resigning reasonable contracts harder. And RFA friendly cap like Rathebone gives them relief, flexibility, and a possible 2nd unit puck moving d man.
