Don't forget our GM was apart of that debacle...Even the management team who were involved in that trade are gone

Sigh........ hope we aren't saying the same about the Forsling trade in a few years... kids got potential to make us look real bad. Well make JB look real bad, not us... I wasn't part of the trade.

It was a bad trade but not the worst or even close to it, does not even come close to us getting naslund that was such a bad trade for the Pens,or us trading Cam Neely

 

there have been tons worse then that and yes forsling might be bad but again there have been way WAY worse

Pretty sure Forsling for Clendening will not have the same effect as a Seguin deal, so don't worry about that.

 

Perhaps look at the Granlund, Baertschi, Dahlen, etc deals to make you happier though.

Capitals acquiring Rod Langway, Doug Jarvis, Brian Engblom and Craig Laughlin from the Montreal Canadiens for Rick Green and Ryan Walter

 

Canucks trade Cam Neely along with a draft pick (1st choice, 3rd overall, used to take Glen Wesley) to the Boston Bruins for  Barry Pederson 

 

 Flames send Bret Hull to the St. Louis Blues for defenseman Rob Ramage and goaltender Rick Wamsley.

 

Whalers send Ron Francis and Ulf Samuelsson to the Penguins for John Cullen, Jeff Parker and Zarley Zalapski.

 

Canucks get Naslund for Stojanov.

How was Benning a part of this? Florida traded Hayes to the Bruins on July 1st, 2015 and Benning was hired by the Canucks in May of 2014. What's the connection?

Reilly Smith was traded for Jimmy Hayes, and Reilly Smith was part of the Seguin trade return which Benning was certainly a part of. The trade they're referencing was the Seguin one

Bertuzzi Allen for luongo kraijicek was a rob job for the ages too!

8pts -12 in the ahl last year after an overrated stint with the hawks. Not worried about it.

Hope you're right... but gotta cut the kid some slack. Just turned 21 and that's not a bad rookie season.

There was the Cal/TO debacle, where about 11 guys were swapped. Principles were Gilmour for Leeman(who'd managed a 50 goal season, prior I believe). Fleas also got Macoun.

 

Cliff Fletcher(who'd moved to Ontario) had trained Flames new GM Risebrough, then robbed him blind as final guidance.

Forsling will never be anything close to defencemen as Tyler Seguin is to forwards.

Bertuzzi/Allen/Auld for Luongo/Kraijek was worse. Bertuzzi only played 7 games for the Panthers, Luongo made history with the Canucks. 

Fun fact: Florida eventually dealt Bertuzzi to Detroit for Shawn Matthias.
