Right!!! Schenn and ORi! I don’t know how we made that happen but we trimmed fat and got instant muscle...Sunny as well. Not a huge #s guy but our win differential with him in the lineup is outta this world. Lost Reaves for it which disappointed me cause I loved Rhino, but I’ll still take wins!

[@kyrelkleank2171]

Tage could still bring the value up quite a bit over the next couple years for that trade and who would’ve have known that Bergie would go awol midway through the season. The trade seemed pretty good at the time for both parties ROR for sobo and berglund solid top 9 guys and tage Thompson who had a floor of Boyle and could skyrocket to a Thornton, and a second who could be a really good player. Oreilly was a second line center at the time who lost the love of the game which hurt the trade value. Armstrong has pretty much been a genius at trade negotiations stepmniac for steen, lehtera and a first fro schenn, David runblad for tarasenko, the oreilly trade of course and multiple picks turning into parayko, barbashev and Binnington.

[@blueshattrick]

Give the Blues credit for seeing something that wasn't obvious at the time.. ROR's full season stats were remarkably consistent prior to STL (50-60 points w/ Buffalo, Avs.. even in the OHL) He gets traded, suddenly 77 points! Plus another 23 in the playoffs.. and you know the rest.

Lehner and Dzierkals were then traded to Vegas, netting the Blackhawks goaltender Malcolm Subban, defenseman Slava Demin and Vegas' second-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft.

[@captainduck23]

Dale Tallon was fired for not getting offer sheets in on time for Kris Versteeg and another player that I can't remember. Because of this, he had to resign them at a much higher amount, which led to a salary cap crunch and seriously hamstringing the team's ability to pay/retain players.

Ah yes, Tage Thompson, the bottom-6 fringe player. Pretty funny to see how trades turn out in the long run

[@tdragot12]

As an Avs Fan, We’re on the receiving side of this. Getting that many things for Matt Duchene was great.

[@markloroff]

right the worst trades were Chris Drury or maybe Alex Tanguay and with Tanguay its just because the Picks didnt work out. I also feel like Joe Sakic hasn't really had a bad trade.

[@MarquisdeSuave]

@@markloroff its funny because by the 2017 draft Sakic was on the THINNEST of ice as GM. Nothing he tried seemed to work and the Avs were in an almost decade long slide with no end in sight. And then the 2017 draft came and since then Sakic has looked like an absolute genius.

[@markloroff]

​@@MarquisdeSuave He never really made any big splashes before the duchene trade other then the Orielly trade which is still paying off for Colorado. All his trade before Duchene were all for small pieces trying to get the core of the team at the time to perform which obviously never happened. Sure the Duchene trade was the turning point but he never made any huge moves or gave away huge pieces of the team before that.

yeah and it is not like he had a lot of leverage. i can understand why people complain - the optics are very one sided - but it is not really a fair way to assess whether he had the instincts that you want in a GM. From what i heard he had done a lot to improve the system but it is not enough time to get a true assessment, especially when you have as much turnover in management as they have had

[@bagofgroceries]

Stevie Y is stupid good at the whole GM thing.

[@reyrage15]

To be honest, as a Devils fan, I don’t see the Taylor Hall (second) trade or the vast majority being bad. Hall is oft injured and was halfway through a contract year set to become a FA anyway and publicly stated he wanted to be on a contending team. The reason Shero was let go was because no one played to their ability this past season and that’s more a coaching issue than a roster management one and because Shero held on to Hynes way too long.

[@tattooedleo9969]

[@jamesprumos7775]

Yea, and while Gusev and Subban didn't work out, none of the guys we traded for them haven't done particularly well either.

[@conorluty5087]

Well, I gotta say the Ryan Oreilly trade for Thompson is looking pretty good considering he’s too 5 in league scoring

[@jogendron6320]

Not a lot of people know this one: Serge Savard was fired from the Habs in the mid 90s for attempting to trade Patrick Roy to the Avs vs Owen Nolan and Stephane Fiset. Ronald Corey put down his veto, trade was aborted, and he fired Savard + coach Jacques Demers. Read that in Demers’ book.

[@jft7775]

Stan Bowman is the outright winner here , if you go back to all his trades there are so many bad ones they are to numerous to mention ! My favorite is when they trade someone then get them back in a year or two ,Sharp,Shaw and a few more if his last name was Jones he wouldn’t even be a G.M. But he has to be the winner of this poll ,Panarin would get any GM fired ! How about when he admits he thought his middle name was “Cup” ! Thanks God for Kane and Toews !

[@jaylew8408]

Thank you, ive been leading the charge for Stan Bowman to be fired and I have to point out to bandwagon fans that Stan didn't put those teams together and all he's done is trade away players to just bring them back after their talent has vanished, but wagoners love it cause it's a player they know

You could do a whole episode on Ron Caron's tenure for the Blues.

[@Zdeno33]

I read in Ken Dryden's book that he collaborated with Scotty Bowman that Sam Pollock had the opportunity to trade for Detroit's second overall pick and get Marcel Dionne but Caron advised him against it.

[@jaylipinski1443]

yeah, but in Caron's defense, he was tasked with cutting payroll and trying to put together a winning team with less spending. Plus, he had an Alpha Male coach in Brian Sutter who is responsible for the Garth Butcher trade. Don't forget, Caron was the GM who fleeced Calgary out of Brett Hull.

[@jaylipinski1443]

I will say this, though... Caron seemed like he was trying to justify a lot of the moves he made in Montreal, because he kept bringing those guys to St. Louis... Gingras, Wickenheiser, Wamsley, Mark Hunter, Delorme, Natress, Schofield, Paslawski, Momesso, Meagher all had a history with Caron in MTL.

[@SonicSlicer]

Artemi Panarin and Tyler Motte for Brandon Saad and Anton Foresberg, Panarin's lighting it up in Manhattan, while Saad's been inconsistently streaky, Motte's in Vancouver I think...and they're in post-Sedin rebuild mode, and Foreskin was terrible. Hjalmarsson for Connor Murphy and Laurent Dauphin...this one time will tell on with Dauphin,but Murphy is all but invisible and is not the shot blocking type that Hjalmarsson is. Ryan Hartmen for Victor Ejdsell, Hartman had some of the grit and youth that the Hawks need, what's Ejdsell got?...

[@95VideoMan]

Dang, never realized how cut throat that job is... Cool video!

[@RobTalksHockey]

Yep... Thanks dude!

[@LudwigBeefoven]

I understand the allure of mentioning Dale Tallon in this video. However, Dale Tallon's firing had very special circumstances. During the summer 0f 2009, Dale Tallion did not send qualifying offers to a set of restricted free agents (RFA) before the free agency deadline of July 1st. Technically, all these RFAs became unrestricted free agents (UFA). Nonetheless, Tallon re-signed all the RFAs but with substantial pay rises. This ultimately resulted in the Blackhawks having to trade great young players like Dustin Bufyglien and Andrew Ladd due to salary cap pressure. The Blackhawks were handcuffed on the salary cap for nearly a decade and it prevented them from winning a second cup the following year. In the end, that was a well deserved firing.

[@joer8854]

He's totally wrong about the Sabres cap situation as well. They are poised to unload a ton of fluff and bring in the pieces they need if you look at cap friendly. They just have to forget the players that didn't work out.

[@RobTalksHockey]

@@joer8854 I am well aware that they can unload a lot of their current cap. However, that comes with some massive downfall which is depth. Because who do you lose? Obviously Dahlin will be a big price tag, Brandon Montour will be receiving a big raise, Sam Reinhart, Kahun, Olofsson who will be costly. Luckily Buffalo under the right management can strategically deal with their cap. But that "dealing" will come with loss of depth which will be a big issue

[@joer8854]

Player contracts aren't negotiated in a vacuum though. A cap freeze will definitely affect player contracts signed this season across the NHL. People keep thinking that a cap freeze affects the team not the players. The cap freeze will be in affect for well more than a year. Contracts are going to be harder to get and lower than expected.

[@edap8046]

What about Steen?

[@Roller11111]

Tom Kurvers for the 1991 first round pick is probably worse. Team was a fringe playoff team (back then that meant you were very close to last overall) and a generational talent at the time from their backyard was available for this draft. To make things a little worse, Leafs made a few moves with the Nordiques to avoid the embarrassment of giving up Lindros. Leafs gave up more futures for roster players to improve a little and make the Nordiques a little worse. At least Kessel was around for 6 seasons and Boston didn't fully benefit from these picks (Seguin and Hamilton given away practically); Kurvers was gone before the 91 draft happened. At this point Rask has yet to lead the Bruins to a Cup (played no minutes as a back up in the 2011 run), and likely wouldn't have done the same with the Leafs if he wasn't moved. However Quebec drafted Lindros and flipped him for a truck load of assets that lead to building two Cup winning teams. Devils drafted Niedermayer who helped them win three Cups. IMO based on where the Leafs were in the early 90's and 2000's, having either Lindros or Niedermayer on those rosters has a good chance of pushing the team over the hump. The Raycroft or Kessel trade probably didn't cost the Leafs a Cup, the Kurvers trade likely did.

[@suba517]

Tallon got fired because he missed a bunch a deadline on several important contract tenders, giving guys like Byfuglien, Versteeg and Barker 3-4 million a year as opposed to high 6 figures if he got the the contracts in before the deadline. Bowman reaped the benefits of Tallon's incredible rebuild, and has segued that into a 10 year tenure with the Hawks. Hopefully he is gone this offseason.

[@adrianvodilka432]

Nobody gonna mention Feb 2017 trade: TBL aquired: Erik Cernak and Peter Budaj, LAK aquired: Ben Bishop.. who played there only 7 matches before free agency and Dallas signs... It was the time when Quick was season lomg injured, while Budaj made pretty decent season... not to mention Erik Cernak being this years Stanley Cup winner, being important team defender... this was madness trade for me

[@kha0s604]

We traded Tyler seguin to the stars for Louis Erickson Tyler suguin became one of the best players in the leagues while Louis errickson did nothing

[@gialee8567]

we have eriksson rn, it really sucks

[@unbiasbruinsfan7330]

A cool 30 goals would say otherwise

[@littleguy6753]

Stan Bowman still has his job, but should be #1 on this list.

[@LOUI-e7h]

Benning still has a job because im a beast

[@yarpyepiddy]

You were apart of the worst trade ever my dude

[@BIGGIED1000]

@@yarpyepiddy did you even read is comment. The man still has a job, which means loui is a beast. Can't believe I had to spell that out for you.

[@6.0.4muzik9]

You're seeing now why Benning still has his job 👍

[@yarpyepiddy]

Robert Donnelly sorry, didn’t know I was the only person in the world who didn’t know who “benning” is. I’ll educate myself

[@theknightking09]

clearly this is a troll account lol

[@rosegoldpumpfn8859]

Hated us trading DROUIN at first. But Sergachev has become one of my favorite players on our team. Do u have a video talkin about that haha

[@tlubes6]

Now O’Reily is the captain of the blues

[@rossbenedict272]

21/22 season is here now, Fenton is long gone from MN, and Fiala had become QUITE the offensive player for us as of late. Playing with a young rookie in Matt boldy and Freddy G, that line is on fire right now!

[@ericmaloney3889]

5:05 I'd make that trade also if I was NJ. Bahl looks like he's going to be a star. Merkley and Schnarr, not so much, though Schnarr did have 102 points his final CHL season.

[@grahamdamberger7130]

"Three Stanley Cups in five years." It was three cups in six years. LA had two and Boston had one between 2010 and 2015.

[@lollolol4763]

Tage thompson 4th liner 🤣🤣 did not age well

[@oceanthresher6184]

Let me know when he wins a Conn Smythe. Until then, he isn’t worth squat.

[@DavidRJones82]

Ironically Tage Thompson just scored 5 goals in a game.

[@GustavoShrapnel]

Most questionable trade? As a Caps fan that's VERY easy, Forsberg for Erat.

[@guillaumeturcotte4523]

Now the buffalo its now the winner of the oreilly trade long term.

[@SkyTheKoala]

Tyler Seguin traded to Dallas.....I lost my shit.

[@NSco1996]

well Tage Thompson really broke out this year, almost 40 goals

[@whiteninja02]

Though i think the Hall for Larssen trade to be ok it was his miss management of Jesse Pulujarvi that ultimately was Chirelli’s downfall.

[@oARTIFACTo]

My teams bad trade was recent . We traded away Darcy kuemper to the yotes and he has been playing really well , and the Kings are definitely ready for fresh goaltending.

[@owenmccagherty9851]

That rage Thompson trade looking good now

[@owenmccagherty9851]

Tage*

[@williamgeorge-thomas4487]

Losing Nino, Granlund, Coyle and haula made it hard to stay a wild fan but Kaprizov, Erikson Ek, Zuccarello, Moose so on it was a crazy fun year

[@calaabo]

I mean luckily as an Avs fan, our gm just fleeces teams and gets our roster stacked

[@broadstreet21]

To be fair, I thought Ryan O'Reily was expendable in Buffalo, since they had Eichel and Reinhart - of course, they really could have done better, like trade for Subban.

[@billycheesecake5288]

“Has your team ever made a bad trade?” Look at the entire Blackhawks 2018 offseason when they got rid of panarin for a lackluster goalie who was bad for an entire season and was the only time he saw net and hjalmarsson for someone who has potential but hasn’t necessarily shown it completely yet...

[@repliedpizza1744]

You forgot Peter Chiarelli but for which team and which trade

[@RobTalksHockey]

He will part 2, if not needs an entire 30 minute video

[@repliedpizza1744]

Lol

[@oilersridersbluejays]

I'm an Oilers fan. Bad trades is all I've known. Gretzky back in 1988 for whiny Carson and some money. Pronger in 2006 for nothing. Smyth in 2007 for practically nothing. Hall for a slightly above average defenceman. Eberle for Ryan Strome. We got guys like McDavid, Draisaitl, Nurse, and Klefbom sure, but we drafted them and had to develop them. I do like Ken Holland though. He pulled off quite a move when he traded away Lucic, and to Calgary of all places. I thought we would be stuck with that guy for years.

[@pauliez95]

Shero got fired for more then the Hall trade. He resigned a losing coach who was his buddy, only to fire him after the fans chanted "Fire Hynes" so loud you could hear it on the telecast. Along with a few other things

[@jasoncrandall73]

This season is not going very well but their future is bright. Mitts has had a injury riddled season but the following players are part of our future...... Krebs, Quinn, Cozens, Tuch, Joker, Dahlin, Samuelsson, Power, UPL, Portillo, Levi, Johnson, Fitzgerald, Tage, Peterka, Mitts & 2 extra 1st round draft picks & just as many 2nd round draft picks in the next few drafts. Plus I am not including any of the other 2021 draft picks.

[@done1675]

In my lifetime? Ratelle and Brad Park for Phil Esposito. Oh, and we also traded Rick Middleton for Ken Hodge. So there's that.

[@geoffburt7628]

Ratelle and Park for Espo and Carol Vadnais as I recall.

[@iAMtheSushie]

I was thinking of the Botterill song and it came nice job RTH

[@theladsterdanny]

Tage Thompson has a subsequent breakout year lol

[@cpnstbn1266]

Skinner’s actually a really good player. It’s not like he’s a one year wonder. They overpaid but they had to because it’s buffalo.

[@emutv4100]

I’m from buffalo, not a sabres fan though, but who would wanna Play there

[@zionphillips9727]

As a Blackhawks fan, one trade that is never mentioned and was terrible is how the Hawks traded Panarin to CBJ for Brandon Saad who never had the incredible potential of a guy like Panarin. Panarin in his first 2 seasons finished with at least 74 points.... I don’t know how you openly trade such a young talented prospect and not request at least a 1st round pick in return. Who knows if they could have added 1 or 2 more cups in their great run over the last decade..

[@capdown6828]

I don't know if you've done it but you should research undeserved firings of head coaches or teams who failed to keep a good head coach. The beginning of your video made me think of the idea and also the fact that Washington let Trots leave. Didn't even give him an offer.

[@aaronhill212]

1998 Isles GM Mike Milbury trades high scoring Zigmund Palffy to the LA Kings for Mathieu Biron, Josh Green, Ollie Jokinen and a pick.
