Flyers off-season plan foiled
Could argue it started the chain of events that cost us drafting Buium too (we don't need Buium, we already have Drysdale!)
Worst Flyers trade of the last 2 decades when you account for the ripples it caused, pretty easily.
The worst ripple effect trade of this century was trading a 1st round pick for Steve Eminger, allowing the Capitals to draft John Carlson, a hall of fame right handed defenseman that we were looking for. If anyone is still here from that day, that was 10x as visceral as passing on Buium. They later went all in to Pronger and after he got hurt, are still chasing that one.
Caps were going to not qualify Eminger too. They could've had him for nothing a week later. But Holmgren hated working in the open market.Hated that immediately and yelled at the tv, especially when a rival drafted the guy I wanted with the very next pick. Just awful.
Reminds me of something Ole Anderson once told Jim Cornette: "Jim, I used to think you were a dumb f*** but so many other dumb f***s have come along since that you moved up the ladder without even trying."I always love being told, in a 32 team league, that we should feel better as a fanbase because someone has screwed up somewhere in the vicinity of where we have, especially when using a small sample size to boost the proof. Makes me feel much better about my favourite team being a floater in the toilet for so long.
