With Hayes on waivers, Boston has nothing to show for Tyler Seguin

[Pi]

Unbelievable how that all ended up happening. Leafs handed them a superstar draft pick by luck and the Bruins ended up trading what would be their best player for a decade for Loui Eriksson and spare parts, nothing of which remains on the Bruins roster anymore.

Is this one of the worst trades ever?

3-4 years after trade and nothing to show for it is shocking. Usually takes 10-15 years for a trade tree to end.

Chiarelli is easily one of the worst GM in the league. He has is *** saved by a generational talent

 

[Danish Pastry]

funny how one of the worst trades lead to arguably an even worse trade... awesome...

its up there... and boston traded jumbo for spare parts...

 

[Ceremony]

I look forward to seeing who follows Thornton and Seguin in ~5 years.

He's not out of the woods yet. Picking Sidney Crosby didn't save Craig Patrick....

Pastrnak?

Also, don't forget Kessel. Boston seems to be allergic to high-end forwards who's main focus is offense.

 

[ESH]

It always felt like they were going to get rid of Seguin. It sure doesn't seem like they tried very hard to win the trade

 

[Rebels57]

Chiarellis an abysmal GM.

 

[Shockmaster]

I think Cam Neely had a lot to do with making that trade as well.

Uh Oh

here comes the oiler fans to defend Chia Pet

 

[Bmessy]

We will be feeling the effects of Chiarelli for awhile

Jim Benning also.

Yeah, tell Chiarelli that. He is the #1 genius for this thing.

... which allowed us the space to get Chara, which lead to a Cup. How many did you win by getting Jumbo Joe?

Looks to me like when Chiarelli asks for their thoughts, all he gets is, "Yeah, he needs to go."

 

[Trap Jesus]

Hayes is legit one of the worst NHL players I've ever seen. I was a bit skeptical at how critical Panthers fans were of him when he was traded with him coming close to 20 goals and all, but goddamn... they weren't lying.

 

[BruinsBtn]

They still have a lot more than the Leafs, who are eating Phil's cap forever.

 

[BB88]

Oh what a fun thread to see

..................

 

[Mr Positive]

Lol, this is all because of Chiarelli?

He didn't let Eriksson walk for nothing

He didn't trade Reilly Smith for Hayes

Yes it was a bad trade even at the time, although it was cap motivated and he wasn't the only cook in that kitchen either. I get that Bruins fans love to have a scapegoat, but if you don't address what's really bad with your team you'll never get any better.

 

[Territory]

Hilarious.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

worst trades ever thead #54

Not really. The Leafs have Kapanen, Rychel (traded for Harrington) and Andersen (used Pits 1st)

 

[Tim Vezina Thomas]

Did you just have this thread drafted waiting to pull the trigger?

Awful trade, news at 11. The Leafs traded us a Vezina trophy winning goalie.. we all have them.

 

[TMLife*]

It’s close to the Erat/Forsberg trade, but not as bad.

Bruins were unlucky with the assets they acquired, but the initial trade was still bad.

Not to derail the thread but Boston has nothing on their roster that is even worth half as much as Matthews. Not even Bergeron has that kind of value at his age.

We still have Andersen and Kapanen to show for Kessel. Bruins have nothing for Seguin.

Boston had so much potential to be a team very much like Pittsburgh and Chicago and win multiple cups.

Hamilton, Seguin make the Bruins a cup contender even today.

 

[ColdSteel2]

We'll never see something quite like that again.
