As part of our continuing series; what was Glen Sather's biggest mistake?
I'm going to go with his drafting after 1984.

Stephen said:Probably his trades with the New York Rangers. I think it's just crazy that with all the trades he had made with the Rangers, sending people like Messier, Lowe, Tikkanen, and whomever else to New York that he didn't get at least one of Leetch, Richter, Zubov or Amonte back.

Psycho Joe said:Leaving Edmonton and destroying the myth he was actually a great hockey man. He had some luck early on in his career and has lived off of it for the last 20 years where his record as a GM has been poor at best.
What he got was cash. Eight million for Messier, another million for holdout Kevin Lowe. Louie Debrusk, Steven Rice?dawgbone said:In fairness, he did get Weight, Marchant and Nichols...

Where were the NHL police to void these deals unless Richter and Leetch went to Edmonton.
Ranger even got the rights to Beukeboom the next year for a low draft pick.

hate to correct you man, but Ulanov has been always been solid for Edmonton. I know Florida hates him, but Igor Ulanov has a huge fan base in Edmonton. He's a good defenseman.JOrtmeyer41 said:Drafting was horrible. Steve Kelly, Jason Bonsignore, signing Ulanov.
Sonny Lamateena said:Not getting a contract done with Adam Graves allowing the Rangers to swoop in and sign him as a restricted free agent
I think JOrtmeyer41 meant when Sather signed Ulanov in 2001 (to the Rangers).usher said:hate to correct you man, but Ulanov has been always been solid for Edmonton. I know Florida hates him, but Igor Ulanov has a huge fan base in Edmonton. He's a good defenseman.

Evil Sather said:Here's a little SAT analogy
Ulanob ::: Edmonton
as
Hill ::: Carolina
For some reason these guys play well for one team and their fans swear by em, or go somewhere else and stink up the joint.
