Aladeen Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Craig Janney if I remember correctly was part of the Petr Nedved deal. Originally we had asked for Brendan Shanahan but he did not want to come to Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbdoubleu Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Actually Janney was awarded to the Canucks when the Blues signed Nedved. He wouldn't report, so we traded him back for Brown, and co. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luongo_01 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Haha solid read. Several laughs along the way, esp on the failures of the 90s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 2006 was really bad. We traded away 2 second rounders? Milan Lucic was picked in the last half of the second round. He could have been a Canuck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownky Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 What this says to me is... don't trade picks. Trade players. Every time we've traded 'just picks', we've gotten hosed in the end. When we trade players, we seem to do decently, most of the time. Even if those picks are just prospects... we do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Canuck Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Damn! I didn't know Wayne Simmonds could've been a Canuck. He would've been really helpful today to say the least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCammer Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Warning: 70% of you will not finish this because it is far far too long. I tried to keep it short but there was just too much to talk about. Once you start talking about Jiri Slegr, it's tough to stop! But for those of you stuck at work or school and need a bit of a read, I went over the entire Canucks trade deadline activity history, so if you want to travel down memory lane, here's your chance! Seriously, it's really long, I'm sorry. http://blogs.theprov...loving-tribute/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kumquats Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Wow, very well done. So many good, awful and "oh yeah that happened..." moments there. Been a fan since I was about 10 (in 86) but didn't know about trades and the like until I was in high school, about '92 just before the cup run. I don't remember what happened with LaFayette. I must have suppressed that memory... I do remember wondering why we got a goalie from the Rangers the year after we lost to them in the final. I did like Hirsch though, he was good for us and had that sweet Hitchcock mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedMachine Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Nice work. I always like to recollect how badly we picked over the blues in the early 90s I do hope you were being a bit facetious when you said acquiring Higgins and Lappy was one of our best years. No way that even begins to equate to getting Lumme in 1990, courtnall, momesso and running in '91, brown, hedican and Lafayette in '94, Naslund in 96, or Morrison in 2000. The former was acquiring two bit players in a Stanley cup run. The latter were trades that built the core of our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedMachine Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Anyway, I think the lesson in all of this is if we are going to trade with anyone at the deadline, it should be St. Louis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armada Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Could have drafted Wayne Simmonds and Jonas Enroth. Jesus.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB007 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I went through all of it. The Ronning, Courtnall, Momesso and Dirk one was the best IMO. That was also the first year I started following hockey after I immigrated to Canada and it was fresh and new to me. And it is still fresh and new to me to this date. That trade was kind of like sending Booth and Garrison away for Matt Read, Voracek, Johan Franzen (now) and Bryan Allen. It's like the other team is helping us. This kind of trade don't really happen any more. EDIT: Oh yes Naslund historically turned out to be a bigger win of course. But it took a few years before he came around so by the time he did it didn't quite feel like a deadline day win. Ronning and co. made a huge impact on the team right away and pushed us to the playoffs that year. EDIT 2: Another difference between the Naslund trade and the Ronning trade was that Stojanov was highly touted. It was a swap of two 1st rounders, so it seemed fair to some degree at the time. Whereas the Ronning trade just made no sense to St. Louis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langdon Algur Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Geoff Courtnall, Robert Dirk, Sergio Momesso, Cliff Ronning and future considerations traded from St. Louis to Vancouver for Dan Quinn and Garth Butcher. Best deadline deal ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I remember being ticked at losing Stojanov, because the guy hit everything that moved. Which is probably why he had such as short career. But I didn't think Naslund would turn out like he did. Maybe with Nonis' track record we can fleece him with a Luongo deal at the deadline.

cdubuya Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Without looking the most 3 memorable acquisitions I remember from the not so immidieate past are MayDay, Rucinsky and Smolinski And an honorable mention to jan hlavic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
