Top 10 Worst Trades in NHL History?


Recommended Posts

Gomez trade is right up there, with the Nazzy/ Stojanov trade.

Thought of the Regehr trade to Calgary. If Robyn doesn't play to his potential or becomes a Komisarek Calgary may... actually... WIN something (though only a trade). Chris Butler's not bad for a D.

1992 Chicago trades Dominik Hasek to Buffalo for Stephane Beauregard.

1995 Montreal trades Patrick Roy and Mike Keane to Colorado for Jocelyn Thibault, Martin Rucinsky, and Andrei Kovalenko.

1993 Winnipeg trades Kris Draper to the Red Wings for one U.S. dollar. That's cheaper than any item on the super value menu.

Ummm, Bertuzzi, Bryan McCabe and Jarkko Ruutu for an over-the-hill Trevor Linden???

And, despite what people here think, the Bertuzzi/Luongo trade was rather equal. People only say it was lop-sided because Luongo signed long-term with us afterwards, whereas, Bertuzzi got injured and only played a handful of games before being traded a second time. So, all in all, they ended up getting Shawn Mattias, Nick Spalling and conditional 2nd - for Luongo.

Now, I ask you...

Do you think we could get the equivalent of Spaling, Mattias and a pick for Luongo today???

Iffy at best...

we might not be able to get that kind of return again, but the way the owners would look at it, how much revenue did they recive from luongo winning games, advancing in the playoffs, and then all the merch revenue? Not to mention we also got krijeck/SOB in the deal. And shirokov as well if he'd stayed

How's this for a shifty, smart, shrewd GM?

In his teens, Guy Lafleur gained considerable recognition for his play as a member of the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, where he led his team to the Memorial Cup in 1971, scoring an amazing 130 regular season goals. At the time, Lafleur idolized Jean Béliveau and Bobby Orr.

The Habs' astute General Manager, Sam Pollock, was keen to find a way to trade to obtain the first overall pick in the 1971 amateur draft. He persuaded California Golden Seals owner Charlie Finley to trade the Seals' 1971 first-round pick and François Lacombe in return for Montreal's 1970 first-round pick and veteran Ernie Hicke. It turned out to be one of the most lopsided deals in NHL history. However, late in the 1970-71 season the Los Angeles Kings were in last place overall, behind the Seals. The Kings were in danger of "beating" the Seals out for last place, and if this happened Pollock would lose his first overall pick. Pollock cleverly traded the aging but still valuable Ralph Backstrom to the Kings for two insignificant players. Backstrom's presence lifted the Kings out of last place, and the Seals finished at the bottom, granting the Habs the first pick. Pollock hesitated between Lafleur and Marcel Dionne, but chose Lafleur with his overall no.1 pick.
