I wonder if the Flames regret trading away Brett Hull for a couple depth players that "helped" them win the cup?
Neil Smith still regrets trading away guys like Amonte, Weight, and Gartner for depth grinders that may or may not have helped their team win that cup in 94. Glenn Anderson was shot. Gartner was still very productive. Yeah Matteau scored a big goal...but maybe the sweep the Devils if they had a young budding Tony frikin Amonte on their team? We won't know I guess.
Most times it fails. Even when it "succeeds" (like above) there is still a case to make for it "failing".
We are talking about a bottom 6 forward here. "We talkin' bout Grinderz! Grinderz!"
maybe i'd be a bad GM, but i'd trade anyone and anything for a grinder if it meant we won the cup.
