Looking Back At The Infamous 2006 Chris Pronger Deal | NHL Trade Trees

[@ryguy6577]

Doesn’t this trace back to Mark Messier as well?

[@TheGMan64]

RyGuy 65 yes it does

[@gunsmithbasic]

yes, through Eric Brewer, via Roman Hamrlik, via Bryan Marchment, via Steve Rice (who was a piece in the Messier trade)

[@seansaville5664]

🤣🤣

[@IasonCanadensis]

Yes, (i.imgur.com/vl9Fe9X.png) [October 4, 1991] and can also be traced back to Jason Arnott (i.imgur.com/jMy1SLd.png) [January 4, 1998] and Reg Thomas (i.imgur.com/ZxKDptX.png) [August 22, 1979]

[@GreatLodini]

[@stanthemn]

The Blues signing Scott Stevens in 1990 led to Jordan Binnington. 1991: Blues sign Brendan Shanahan as restricted free agent from Devils. Stevens is awarded to the Devils as compensation. 1995: Blues trade Shanahan to Whalers for Chris Pronger. 2005: Blues trade Pronger to Oilers for Eric Brewer, Doug Lynch and Jeff Woywitka. 2011: Blues trade Brewer to Lightning for Brock Beukeboom and 3rd round draft pick. 2011: Blues use that draft choice for Jordan Binnington

[@amppuu3151]

Oh no, the Beukebooms are spreading

[@KarlSchoenefeld4]

Pronger trade was still horrible.

Fun fact, Pronger going to Edmonton helped the Blues in getting Jordan Binnington. It started with the Blues trading Shanahan for Pronger. Then Pronger to Edmonton for Eric Brewer and some other stuff. Then Brewer was traded to Tampa for their 2011 3rd round pick which the Blues used to draft Binnington.

[@jonathanfrimerman8855]

That was insaine

[@thabeaststl3703]

@@jonathanfrimerman8855 It is insane....but it was insane the Blues Ownership thought it was a good idea to get rid of Pronger right before they sold the team.....just another great deal with a Wal-Mart owner and a St. Louis Sports team.....

[@mackenziek8383]

and to think I was more excited about Brock Beukeboom than the draft pick, at the time

[@WithScienceAsMySheperd]

sad fact : once Mr. Pronger got hit in the chest by a puck. He collapsed, many other players of the time could have been hit in the throat or face... Tall Chris was ok after it from what I remember... but a scare

[@ianstephenson9721]

The original Pronger trade from Hartford to St. Louis is directly responsible for Cup wins in Detroit, St. Louis, Carolina, and Anaheim.

[@uyd]

Steve...I'm from Seattle and New to hockey. Thanks for the warm welcome.

[@Daniel-uk7fw]

As an Oilers fan this brings back so many bad memories

[@VansHalham]

The 1987 Cam Neely trade was felt for over 30 freakin' years! It is still going on! Jacob Zboril is the latest branch of that trade for Barry Pederson. By far the worst trade in Vancouver Canucks history. And after the Loui Errickson free agent signing, it just screams for the Canucks to stay away from anything Boston

[@jasondashney]

Please do a video on the Oiler's 2012 draft. Follow that one and it's hilariously bad. Yakupov, then they got 4th overall Griffin Reinhardt for picks 15/32 and 15 ended up as Barzal, and the rest of their draft didn't look any better. It couldn't have gone any worse for them.

[@isaacwest276]

There's a reason the last two GMs before Holland are not spoken of here in Edmonton, and why we're used to what Holland is doing.

[@aidanirelan9423]

As a Wings fan, I was pretty sad to see Andreas Athanasiou go. He seemed to have a lot of potential but I hope he does well playing with McDavid

[@frequentsee3815]

It had to happen. I've watched every game for the last few years and it slowly became more & more apparent that he had begun to stick out like a sore thumb in terms of playstyle & philosophy.

[@brittainblue9161]

Too bad he sucks now tho

[@lebutzki]

You need to complete the trilogy here. You need to do the trade between Hartford and St. Louis when Hartford traded Chris Pronger to St. Louis for Brendan Shanahan. Not only is that trade tree still alive but it contributed to both St. Louis and Hartford/Carolina both winning the Stanley Cup.

[@kylea3644]

Agreed. Sorry many years late, the pronger (STL) for shanahan (HAR/CAR) trade tree led not only to binnington (STL) but to major contributors for the 05-06 CAR stanley cup winning team (Erik Cole, Brind'Amour, Gerber, Hedican, Adams, etc.). This would be a cool other trade tree to show.

[@hockeyinalabama]

I do love the idea of looking how these trades work out down the road in weird ways.

[@nathanwhite9555]

Speaking about Chris Pronger, he was part of a trade tree that is the worst trade in NHL history starting with Ron Francis, Ulf Samuelsson, and Grant Jennings being sent to Pittsburgh for John Cullen, Zarley Zalapski, and Jeff Parker. You should make a video on this one.

[@infinite9100]

Steen was always a favourite player of mine. I loved guys like that. Vermette and Chris Kelly are two others that come to mind.

[@nfbaseballvideos]

You missed one trade. Mark Fraser was sent to L.A for Ryan Smyth

[@jesseshore3873]

I think the Lindros trade disproves your point, if you get a young guy there’s always a chance they will do bigger and better things than the big name. Forsberg became a superstar

[@moore4807]

Plus Lindros screwed Brindamour's (now ex) wife, which led to Brindamour confronting GM Clarke with a "He goes or I go" demand and that's why the better player ended up in Carolina.

[@chimpinaneckbrace]

Rangers wound up with Strome out of this? I’m in favor of the Pronger trade.

[@AJEDDY97]

The fun thing is, I heard names in this trade (Laurent Brossoit, Cameron Abney, Sam Gagner, etc) that all played in Bakersfield with my Condors. Edit: I completely forgot about Eric Gryba, and I *LOVED* Eric Gryba on the Condors. Same with Mark Fraser, and Ryan Spooner. Ryan Kuffner, coming over in the Mike Green trade, is a Condor too.

[@ultrabeast253]

Brossoit did awesome with Hellebuyck.

[@AJEDDY97]

@Michael Van Bavel I know. But he played in Bakersfield after Edmonton traded for him.

[@jrgodin7221]

Always great to hear your comments. Why not do one on the trade where Montreal sent John LeClair to Philly for Mark Recchi, would be interesting

[@bostonnate4024]

A lot of people don’t know how good pronger was, they saw his later years when he was just above average, but man he gave lidstrom a run for his money

[@WithScienceAsMySheperd]

Pronger from the 90s... a legend. Better than Derian and Keven Hatcher. Better than Al Macinnis. Alexei Zhitnik. or...Sergei Gonchar (duh , we not taking points!)

I would LOVE it if you did the trade tree that brought Doug Gilmour to Toronto. Def. Cliff Fletcher's best trade at rebuilding the Leafs into a great cup contender.

[@williamvernold323]

The NYR dumped salary to rebuild a few years ago. Some of those players won the Cup with TBL; Miller moved on to Vancouver; some of the young guns coming up for NYR came from those trades.

[@benlee7864]

I think the oilers can still thank The Ducks and Pronger for this trade. It was the beginning of their tank fest and it landed them Hall, RNH, Yak (LOL) and lastly McJesus. No way Edmonton gets all those 1st overalls if they didnt trade Pronger.

[@WithScienceAsMySheperd]

And this tree keeps going. Steve mentions Travis Hamonic here. What he doesn't mention is that Hamonic was traded to Calgary for the draft pick that became Noah Dobson.

[@justinstudnicky9655]

I like how in-depth the info is. Really intresting

[@professorchaosX94]

Must be bored lol. The rumour in Edmonton back then was Pronger banged someone's wife or someone banged his wife and that's why he actually left Edmonton. Can't remember the story exactly. I was in the 7th or 8th grade at the time.

[@Thynqikan]

The rumor was Pronger had a sexual relationship with an Edmonton TV weathergirl. Whether true or not the rumors and accusations could make a player no longer want to play in the city. Another story was that Pronger's wife hated living in Edmonton and wanted to live somewhere far nicer.

[@vernvip]

she was wealthier then him by far. pronger still sucks. he destroyed oilers for many years

[@danh5810]

@@vernvip If not for Pronger the Oilers dont even make it to the Finals.

I was at game six, he was the oiler mpv for sure but oil banked a lot to get him and he bolted cause he couldn't keep his jock on.

[@hockeyteeth]

Just here to comment. Sabres hit the lottery on this. I used to live in Chicopee Mass. Watched Briere develop as a Falcon. He was amazing.

[@stevendchu]

I wish the Leafs would've made that trade. Not because Pronger would've made us contenders, but because getting Pronger > Ducks likely don't win the Cup > Burke doesn't become Leafs GM > He can't trade for Phaneuf > Nonis can't sign him to an atrocious contract that doesn't even expire until next year.

[@jiitch]

i love these videos

[@Dan-ks9vz]

That Erik Cole trade somehow relates to the pens getting Dumo from CAR I believe which (relating it back to EDM) may lead to the trade that got EDM PIT's 2015 first... Which was then flipped for Griffin Reinhart... I think you all know who that pick ended up...
