First off, we all know he was nothing more than a puppet for Peter Pocklington. Either that or Sather knew nothing about the game because a hockey man doesn't trade Wayne Gretzky in his prime plain and simple and the less you talk about what they got in return, the better. So we all know this was Pocklington's orders behind the scenes. But Sather was the GM of the Oilers at the time and you almost have to wonder why he would let his name be on this type of trade. For example, why not stand your ground more as the GM even if it is to the owner? Why not explain to him just how illogical it is to trade the best player in the NHL? Or why not just talk some common sense into him?
So discuss this, does Sather get away with more than he should with this trade? We all know his poor track record over the last decade in New York, so...........
