Old trades and the trees they created...full circle Wendel Clark

[The Iceman]

That's one of the worst trades we've ever made for sure. Sittler for pretty much nothing is right up there as well. And not looking for another Dubas debate ATM so I'll just leave it at that for now.



Those were so so bad. The above are contenders as well.

The only small saving grace was the leafs selected Peter Ihnacak with the 2nd round pick.
Still doesn't make up for a 40 goal Sittler

One can go on about that era and Ballard did

I loved Clarke. He was just built different

No one, game is so different. You can’t just come down the wing and score on wrist shots any more.

Not to mention the physicality of the game. Wendels toughness and physical play was equal to his scoring and skill play. They definitely don’t make then like anymore.

im trying to think if there was another player like him who was so effective as a scorer as well as a tough guy. It’s a tough one,… maybe cam neely?

It is amazing to watch some of the goals scored in the 80's.

Fans heads would explode if a goal went in today on some of those shots.
