Wasn't it 2 2nd rounders?

Nah, "just" one. Plenty enough, it turned out.

I still think the Lindros trade is the best in Avs history. Got the better player, won us a cup and set us up with assets for a long while. Also got one of the all time great hockey faces for the Avs.

Do you remember when the Avs created the memorial brick wall outside of the Pepsi Center? STH got to have a brick inscribed. I also think you could donate to Stan's charity and get a brick as well. I kept trying to convince folks here with season tickets to get their brick incribed, "Welcome to the Pepsi Center, the house that Eric Lindros built." but nobody took me up on it and I was willing to pay for it.

No, it was just the one. Calgary used it to pick some giant f***er who never panned out.

I don’t care how big the trade tree was for Lindros. Patrick Roy beats all. That’s the best trade.

Without the Lindros trade you dont get Peter Forsberg. I think both trades are on the top of the list

Without the Lindros trade you lose one of the biggest parts of the Roy trade in Thibault.

The Roy deal doesn't happen without the Lindros one. End of story.

Eh, I liked Patrick Roy but he was no Georgiev

 

[Pokecheque]

Patrick. Roy.

Right. So the Forsberg deal is more important because the Roy deal and allllllllllllllll those others don't happen without it.

Glad we cleared that up.

Periodt.

Huh? I don't agree.
