When John Ferguson was Director of Player Personnel with the Senators:
1992-95
Rick Bowness (coach)
- Andrew McBain
- Laurie Boschman
- Doug Smail
- Danielle Berthiaume
- Jim Kyte
- Pat Elynuik
- Randy Cunneyworth
- Evgeny Davydov
- Scott Levins
- Dmitri Filimonov (traded by Smith '93 after drafting him in 1991)
- Dave McLlwain
- Troy Murray
Mike Smith in Chicago, he was the Blackhawks' GM from September 2001 through to October 2003 (though he was already working with the Blackhawks prior to that timeline):
Alpo Suhonen (coach in 2000-01) finishing with a 29-40-8 record.
- Alexie Zhamnov
- Boris Mironov
- Stephane Quintal (selected off waivers by Chicago in 2000)
- Kris King (signed as a free agent in 2000)
- Phil Housley (claimed in Waiver Draft, September 28, 2001)
- Igor Korolev - Paddock timeline with the Jets
- Mike Eastwood - Paddock timeline with the Jets
Mike Smith trades him to the 2002-03 Toronto Maple Leafs in March (they were 44-28-7-3 by the end of that season), a team that Smith had worked for as associate GM from 1997-99. Chicago was out of the playoff picture, and this was Phil Housley's last shot to win before he retired.
I suppose that Ferguson could have given Iain Duncan a shot in 1992, since he was bringing back literally every Jet that was still kicking around with no home. In fairness, Duncan was already 29 by 1992, and played his last AHL level game that same year (1 game with Adirondack), before lighting up the ECHL. Maybe he was in tryouts to make the squad that year.
