Forsberg for Erat, it hurts “TILL THIS DAY”

[@SamGautreau7]

Nate Superfighter Devesion Diaz I’m not saying it was a good trade but if it wasn’t for that you guys would’ve never won the cup

[@FHL-Devils]

@@SamGautreau7 ... how do you figure? Erat was acquired in 2013, and traded in 2014. Caps won the Cup in 2018. That trade was 100% irrelevant to the Caps winning - except they might have done it a few years earlier if they had kept Forsberg.

[@SamGautreau7]

Jason Williams Because the Erat trade got George Mcphee fired. And their current gm, Brian Mclellan is one of the reasons why they were even able to win the cup. He made some key trades after being hired which led them to win the cup. If that trade never happened, Mcphee would probably still be gm or he would’ve been fired a couple years too late and they never would’ve won the cup

I think you misspoke about the Hawks trade. Hawks won in 2015 against the Lightning, so it wasn't 3 years removed... Also regarding the Danault trade, at the time I think he didn't fit into Joel Quenneville's coaching scheme. Q had that tendency with several young players where they wouldn't get a lot of quality playing time and the limited time they had weren't the most productive. Yes Danault turned into a very solid player, but at the time of the trade and with Anisimov and Toews on the roster there wasn't going to be a way for him to crack the top of the lineup. Little did we know the changes the Hawks would make in trading Anisimov as well as other moves..

Yes. As a Leafs fan, and more importantly a huge Nazem Kadri fan, owning a signed London Knights jersey, a signed Leafs jersey and a signed rookie card, the Toronto Maple Leafs traded Nazem Kadri for Tyson Barrie and Alex Kerfoot; more accurately, Tyson Barrie, Alexander Kerfoot and a 2020 sixth-round draft pick from the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for centre Nazem Kadri, defenceman Calle Rosen and Toronto’s 2020 third-round pick. This has not boded well for the Leafs, but has for Kadri fans, as he has a chance at a Stanley Cup ring for the next 1/2 decade or so.

As bad as the duchene trade is isolated.

I hope DeBrincat works out but I'm being realistic given how we have him for 2 years and how are other american sniper we acquired worked out.

Pens fans rake us Caps fans over the coals for the Filip Forsberg trade, but I call their bluff, cause the Pens also made a similar blunder years before we did. Did you know Markus Naslund actually began his career in Pittsburgh, and he used to play on the same line as Super Mario himself? Apparently, Naslund wasn't too happy in Pittsburgh, and that may be why his career started off pretty sluggish, so he was shipped to Vancouver in exchange for Alek Stojanov, who flamed out pretty quickly. I'm guessing this is why a certain bunch of Yinzers are so adamant about the Canucks giving them Elias Pettersson (a fellow Swede like Naslund) as "compensation" for fleecing them. I mean, when a player named Pettersson was traded to them, Yinzers on Twitter were celebrating their "heist of the century", thinking it was Elias when it was actually Marcus Petterson, a defenseman (and no, Elias and Marcus are not related), coming their way.
