I don't know. I absolutely never liked THE TRADE (stupid Loui plus extras for Tyler and Rich Peverley). Loui just managed to do enough that almost nobody can accuse him of phoning it in. Peter Chiarelli was absolutely wrong about this one.
You want someone to virtually sacrifice himself on the ice every night? Then you don't trade Seguin for the prototype version of the "I-don't-give-a-fuck-mercenary" from SWEDEN (!!! - okay, there was Björje, and much later there was Nikky Lidström).
Come on, I was born and raised in f...ing Europe, and if you want to trade your "almost" #1 pick, you pick someone who grew up fantasizing about winning Lord Stanley, not some schmuck from fucking Scandinavia (where they think about the blonde chick in ABBA all day and night, while to me she's as sexy as two pieces of soap and a fresh towel).
Congrats, Tyler. I never agreed that stupid Fatso KFClaude should have put you on the third line to accommodate Pan Longstick (#68 Jagr).

It was a bad trade, but at the time Loui's stock looked like it was rising fast. Didn't turn out. |

I remember watching the interview clip of Sequin and Cam. Oil and water. Yup, bad trade even at the time. Oh, you forgot Forsberg, he was one tough Swede. |

But Danny is right about ABBA (probably better addressed in the thread "What ya DEFINITELY NOT listening to lately").
IMHO the most overrated musical act in the history of mankind. But they (I should say, the two male members) are very good at assessing the market.
Simple hooks for lonely housewives. And why people are still dishing out money to see a "performance" of so-called holograms is absolutely beyond me. |

But please, let's not talk about crap like ABBA.
There were some tough players from Sweden in the NHL; Salming, Lidström and Forsberg have already been mentioned (there were more).
I have nothing against Swedish players per se.
But when you're letting go of your former #2 draft choice because of attitude problems, you want to make sure you get something adequate in return. IMHO Eriksson wasn't adequate. Maybe it was the concussion issues, but AFAIR he wasn't a different player before the concussions.

Conclusion: The Bruins should be much more careful when they want to trade (or get rid off) their former "can't miss" prospects (Thornton, Kessel, Seguin, Hamilton).

They hit a home run with the Kessel trade, I think just about everyone knew the Leafs were going to suck that season. But the other trades, yes, I agree. Which was the worst? I think the Thornton trade. |

I think the Thornton trade. I would have to say Hamilton. They got three picks and turned them into Senyshyn, Lauzon and JFK. Say what you want about the other two deals, and especially the fact that they didn't get a prime pick in the Segzy or JTS deals. But they got 106 goals out if Marco Sturm, and they dealt Stuart and Primeau for Ference and Kobasew, and Andy was a big part of two Finals runs. And they won a Pres Trophy with Smith and Eriksson. If they don't shit the bed vs Montreal, that deal is very close to the same as Wheeler for Peverley. You gave up thr best player long term but got better for it in the now. Nothing close to that with the Hamilton deal. Other than maybe they took other players but there's still a lot of runway to something positive if they had. |

Totally forgot about that, even tho I've railed about it in the past. |
