Griffin Reinhart for Mat Barzal and Mitchell Stephens. Even if you want to say it wasn’t for Barzal, it was for the pick, there were still plenty of studs available. Could’ve had Kyle Connor or Thomas Chabot. And Aho was taken two picks after Stephens as well.

Reinhart accomplished nothing and then was taken by Vegas where he has done nothing.

If Buffalo didn't get the picks in the deal, I'd have gone with the ROR trade. But since those picks still have the potential to be better than a 2nd pairing Dman (however small the odds are), I'll go with the Hall trade for now.

Trade was bad the second it was made. Reinhart was inching towards the draft bust bubble and his value was nowhere near a 1st + 2nd rounder.

Nobody but Peter Chiarelli & the Oilers Brain Trust thought Reinhart was worth a mid 1st + early 2nd.

Duchene for #4, #63, Turris and Bowers is certainly up there

The fact that Ottawa decided to enter a rebuild only a few months after the win now move and then losing Duchene in the process is hilarious.

A couple last season come to mind, but it's too early yet. Buffalo getting Skinner for nothing and the canes getting Nino for Rask.......

I was surprised that Skinner wasn't a poll option. Just terrible trade for Carolina.

Bryan Bickell and Teuvo Teravainen for 2016 2nd(Artur Kayumov) and 2017 3rd (unsure who was drafted at that spot)

I get why the deal was made but its still bad... especially considering the steal of a contract TT has and the season he just had

The Forsberg, Teravainen and Reinhart trades were far worse than the Hall trade. The Duchene to Ottawa trade could go from bad to horrific depending on what happens with 4th OA.

It was 9 years 9 months ago but Kessel for Seguin and Dougie Hamilton. Bruins got to 2 Finals the next 4 years, lost both trades trading those guys away but when Chiarelli is your GM you're going to lose some.

I actually wonder who would win a Taylor Hall vs Ryan O'Reilly poll.

I would vote for Hall but I wouldn't be surprised to find out I'm in the minority.
