[@carllaitenberger9984]

​@OVain. What's dumb is your logic here. It's still one of the worst trades in recent times. Forsberg might've helped them get a cup sooner or maybe even a couple by now. It's undeniable that he would've made them a better team.

I wanted to see Patrick Sharp on here :) traded very early from Philly to Chicago, became a top six forward sniper and a major contributor to three Stanley Cups 2010, 13 & 15. I lack the slightest clue what Philadelphia got in return, other than being beat in the 2010 finals, in which Sharp scored 4 goals in 6 games.

[@father042]

Interesting story, Jarome Iginla was originally drafted by Dallas Stars, but they treaded him without playing a single game However, they acquired Joe Nieuwendyk for him who helped them win the cup and became play off MVP I wonder how things would turn out if they kept him though.

[@shawndonovan1182]

This is the one I was expecting. Pretty suprised Seguin made it here before Iginla

[@tomp6879]

Hindsight really, but I think Nieuwendyk was a better player and got the Stars a Cup. Something Iginla never did. Iginla was great no doubt, but I feel Joe was a more complete player.

[@tomp6879]

And Seguin trade wasnt really a shock. Seguin's antics off ice was really creating a rift with management. Something he's struggled with at times in Dallas as well. I mean, didnt the owner call him out last year? Seguin is a great player but too much of a "rock star", has that "me first" mentality. Which sucks because the dude has skill. But I wasnt surprised Boston traded him. I was more surprised at the package they got in return.

As for Sundin, the Nordiques/Avalanche won the Stanley Cup two years after making that trade so it worked out. Also, they had Peter Forsberg in the system so they felt Sundin was expendable.

No mention of Ken Dryden? Drafted by Boston, and back stopped Montreal to 5 Stanley cups(including 4 in a row) not to mention his role in the 72 summit series!

[@NiklasMalmgren75]

Another reason Sundin was traded was the trade that took Peter Forsberg to Quebec. Sakic, Sundin and Forsberg would have been tough to handle three that good centers and icetime.

You should do a video about the trade Eric Lindros - Peter Forsberg, worked out pretty fine for Quebec/Colorado and not as fine for Philadelphia.

Quebec has Sakic, but also had Peter Forsberg, which is why the moved Sundin. The Clark trade led to them getting Claude Lemieux, and they won the cup in 1996. I think they are ok with trading Sundin away.

Mats Sundin and Alexander Mogilny played together and will never be forgotten by me and other hockey fans. This was incredible to witness this combination and should be spoken about.

[@donferensic7482]

I always thought when the Red Wings traded away a young Adam Oates for a well past his prime Bernie Federko. Yikes!!! I know Maclean and McKegney were also part of that deal. How much better the Wings would have been if Oates would have stayed? The Wings were just starting to climb that ladder to the cup, with Oates, perhaps a cup or two more?

[@edwardlambert3246]

Absolutely agree. As a Red Wings fan, the Adam Oates trade for Federko was the worst. I will also add on the Jimmy Carson trade with Edmonton; for Adam Graves, Petr Klima, Joe Murphy, and Jeff Sharples.

[@keyes_calvin]

A HUGE one is Chicago trading Artemi Panarin to the Blue Jackets after he showed insane chemistry with Patrick Kane and won the Calder. It was mostly a cap dump but still crazy to think he got traded for only a decent winger in Brandon Saad, an AHL/backup goalie in Anton Forsberg, and fifth round pick.

[@ilkka5267]

Agreed. They should've kept Panarin AND Teravainen as well. Both players will maintain in their prime for years.

Schenn and Simmonds at that time stings because the Kings were building something special before 2012, but in the end i was wrong. Also Carter going to LA somewhat gave them 1-2 Center punch and solidified them as a Cup Contender. In my opinion Johnson was pretty much done in LA and needed a fresh start elsewhere. Two Cups plus playoffs year in year out 8 plus years ago, Not Bad at all. Let's rebuild and hoping we move up at least 2 or 3 spots- Lafreniere, Byfield or Drysdale.

Another example of a team giving up on a future NHL superstar was the Dallas and Calgary trade in 1995 which included Jarome Iginla going to Calgary and Joe Niewendyk going to Dallas. The Stars drafted Iginla 11th overall and traded him within the third month of the 1995-96 season. It worked out for both teams ( Calgary was rebuilding at the time and Dallas was only looking to get better at the time )

Sundin was a great player, but you insinuate that it was a bad trade. Lefebvre was integral to the 96 cup for the avs, and Clark was traded for Claude Lemieux who was integral to the 96 Cup as well. Lemieux was then traded to NJ (helped them win a cup) for Brian Rolston, Rolston was part of the trade that got the Avs Ray Bourque for their 2nd cup. So Trading Sundin helped net the Avs 2 Cups, Sundin, like all Leafs, no cups. very worthwhile trade.

[@Rodanguirus]

How about some old-school Red Wings trades (that mostly demonstrate how Jack Adams did more harm than good for the franchise)? Bucyk, Hall, and Dionne all started their careers in Detroit. Heck, even though the Wings got the best playing years out of Red Kelly, he still demonstrated he had plenty left in the tank after Detroit parted ways with him, being crucial in four Cup wins for the Leafs (knocking the Wings out of the finals twice). And Sawchuk had only played 5 full NHL seasons and was at the top of his game when Adams decided to part ways with him. The Wings got him back after a couple seasons and ended up having several more productive years from him, but that initial trade reportedly really hindered Sawchuk's morale for a while. Insane to think the Wings had both a young Sawchuk and a young Hall on their roster, and parted with both of them in the span of a couple years.

Oh the other hand, if you have Seguin sleeping with the wife of another player, think of the divisive crap that would be stirring up in the dressing room. That sort of stuff is deadly poison for a team. Can't blame the Bruins for dealing a player who was being that toxic to team morale and cohesion. Sounds like it was also a wake up call for Seguin to clean up his ways a bit too, so Seguin may have been getting himself into even worse trouble if he hadn't been dealt.

Joe Thornton traded from Boston at age 26. He had already developed when they let him go. Won the Hart trophy with San Jose. Phil Esposito traded from Chicago to Boston along with Ken Hodge and Fred Stanfield for Pit Martin, Jack Norris and Gilles Marotte. Phil was 25 and went on to score 717 goals and 1590 points. Islanders traded Luongo as a 20 year old because they had just drafted Dipietro and obviously had their goalie situation settled for the next 20 years. I'm not sure why a team that has already drafted roberto Luongo fourth overall in 1997 comes back and drafts Rick Dipietro 1st overall in 2000. Did they forget they already had a highly touted goalie prospect in the system.? did they just feel they could do without Dany Heatley or Marion Gaborik or Brooks Orpik or Justin Williams? Olli Jokinen was traded from LA as a 20 year old and then from the Islanders to Florida at age 21. He developed into a point a game first line center in Florida and played in the NHL until he was 36 scoring 321 goals and 750 points over 1200 games

But then you look at 1 like Adam Oates, that trade nearly destroyed the Red Wings, who had finally made the conference finals in the late 80s and then went back down a peg till the mid 90s.... Imagine Adam Oates playing his entire career with Detroit. They literally got NOTHING for him, NOTHING, 2 aging dudes that were about to retire. And Oates had like 13 prime years left in him?

I'm old enough to still remember the Red Wings trading Adam Oates for Bernie Federko. 25 consecutive years of making the playoffs, 6 President's Trophies and 4 Stanley Cups later, and I'm still bitter about that trade. It's 2020 and I need to get over it.

Oates helped make one of the best scoring seasons ever happen.

I don't know why I never see Alek Stojanov on any "top draft busts" lists. He definitely belongs there. 7 points in 107 NHL games.

It really felt like the Bruins lost a big chunk of their team identity when they lost Seguin, Horton, Peverly and Thomas

In 1986 Vancouver traded Cam Neely AND a third overall pick for Barry Pederson! When Neely got to the Boston Bruins he immediately became a point-per-game player and spent the next 10 years as THE prototype power forward. Yeah, that was too soon...and too much.

If they didn't trade him it's quite possible that there would not have been an Avs jersey for him to wear.

[@midimusicforever]

There's a couple of guys named Forsberg that belong in this list.

[@ryancrosby5]

Hasek to Buffalo should top any list lol. Probably could be on the list for being sent to Detroit as well

[@durrrrl3435]

He wasn’t young anymore when he went to Detroit.

[@WilliamTheDestroyer.]

No mention of Brett Hull and Jarome Iginla!

[@everetth-top4760]

I really hope that the Kings letting Kubalik go doesn't end up on a list like this in the future.

[@obey2dmax]

Well you can't do much about it if Kubalik didn't want to play for the Kings.
