2024-25 Roster…too soon?

The Panarin trade is one of the worst trades in league history.

Astonishingly bad.

Not even remotely close to the worst in Hawks history.

Phil Esposito, Ken Hodge, Fred Stanfield to Boston for Gilles Marotte, Pit Martin, and Jack Norris. Might well be the worst trade in NHL history.

They traded for a goalie that didnt pan out. What saved the franchise was Montreal had 3 goalies and could only keep two so we ended up with Tony O.

Marotte was probably who they were targeting, but Espo was clearly the best player in the trade at the time. Wirtz traded Hull’s center, some say out of spite.

Tony O was buried in the minors. Claimed on waivers. Canadiens during those years had an embarrassment of riches.

Supposedly Phil Esposito was traded when Tommy Ivan got mad at him for being happy go lucky after Hawks were eliminated from playoffs. Weird imagining Hawks teams have Espo, Hull, and Mikita all in their primes.
