Absent Canuck Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Im not much for making new topics but I saw this posted on HF boards and was a curious thread. I thought I would start it here. Since today is the 25th anniversary of his royal shipment down the coast, what do you guys think he would go for today ? Remember , we cant include cash anymore. Here were Waynes last 4 seasons heading up to the trade : 1984-85 Edmonton Oilers NHL 80 73 135 208 98 1985-86 Edmonton Oilers NHL 80 52 163 215 71 1986-87 Edmonton Oilers NHL 79 62 121 183 70 1987-88 Edmonton Oilers NHL 64 40 109 149 39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Grimes Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Honestly, this is an impossible question to answer; it was a different era and the players were paid ALOT less up until this point, I think to START you would have to figure out how much Gretzky would be making in his prime in today's era and go from there; This trade also made players realize how much they were actually worth and is one of the most important trades in NHL history; From a players standpoint.

winthecup Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Gretzky would be making league max and would be scoring 40-50 goals while getting 90-100 assists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absent Canuck Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 I would offer something like this To Vancouver Gretzky To Edmonton Henrik Sedin Daniel Sedin Ryan Kesler and 1st in 2014 and 2nd in 2014. Amirite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Not sure how to quantify his value in terms of players but basically you can just get two guys off the street to be his line-mates, put sticks in their hands, instruct them to have the blades down on the ice and Wayne'll find them and make them 30-40 goal scorers.

PlayStation Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 May as well ask how much it would take to get Crosby. Would not be as dominant in this era. If he was... you'd be crazy to trade him. He'd be a revenue machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disaronno Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 If he was dealt to the Ottawa Senators... - Erik Karlsson + Bobby Ryan + Robin Lehner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFCanuck Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Gretzky in this era would not be putting up gaudy numbers like he did in the 80's. He'd be in the Crosby ball park. So whatever Crosby's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I doubt even Gretzky would be scoring that much in today's NHL. Much less ice, far more physical and goalies are much better now than they were before. If Crosby can still put up 100 points (on pace for anyway), I could imagine Gretzky scoring in this league at around the 150 point clip, 50-60 goals. That being said, you only trade 150 points/50-60 goals worth for him. That's the Sedins straight up for Gretzky. 150 points traded for 150 points. Marvel about him as much as you want, but that's as fair as fair gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Burrows 14 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Some of these trades are probably what i t would take but teams would be stupid to offer them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
