Trading for Dubois I think upset the entire team chemistry. Trading Dubois I think reset the team in the right direction. Funny that this could make me a fan of more than one team.
I think the Chelios trade would be 1B to Roy trade being 1AFor the habs is probably Patrick Roy trade and the Scott Gomez trade in second place.
They were forced to trade him, the REAL bad decision that led to this was hiring Mario Tremblay and Rejean Houle to run the team. Zero experience and they drove Roy to demand a trade.Trading Patrick Roy at his peak for peanuts.
Both he and Stojanov were busts, with Alex's size seeming to still give him potential.Pittsburgh: If you want to go trades. Hard to go against the Naslund trade being absolutely horrible.
That was definitely one of the worst. Reinhart wasn't even a prospect at that point, was pretty much a confirmed bust and they gave up the 15th overall in such a deep draft for him. There was tons of legitimate star talent available.I will never get over the 2015 draft Griffin R trade. No hignsight , we and my friend were screaming at the tv, WTF are we doing and waiting to hear what else we got, nothing came. All people involved in that trade should have never worked in hockey again.

Both teams had hoped a change of venue might kickstart the former first rounders and this was probably their last chance. It's a trade that made sense at the time and it just happened to work out for Makka.
It didn't start well with Naslund. Markus ended up on the fourth line in Vancouver and actually considered retiring by his own admission.
With Bure injured/sitting on a contract dispute and other team injuries he ended up on the first line with Messier where he suddenly thrived and started living up to his potential. Even moreso he brokeout as one of the best players in the league. Makka/Nazzy credits Messier with turning around his career. I have to think Mark Crawford driving him helped too.
Had he stayed with Pittsburgh, it's likely his career would have ended as early as Stojanov's.
These was a play where a guy picked the puck out of the air skated 6 strides and threw it in the net
anybody remember the teams involved? or have the youtube video
i think it was an OT goal
once it was over the refs got surrounded and couldn't leave the ice
