As a Sabre, I'm asking the same. And the pick for worst decision for the Oilers doesn't make that much sense, since Yakupov was pretty much the concensus best overall in his draftclass.

[@meowza]

@@JohnnyOlsson Agree. As much as I enjoy seeing the Oilers fail, ANY team would've taken Yakupov 1st. The Griffin Reinhart deal should likely be Edmonton's worst move. Or the Hall trade. Or the Lucic signing. Yeah, there's a lot to choose from.

Blue Jackets: worst moment was getting fleeced by Flyers Flyers: worst move was getting fleeced by Blue Jackets

[@honoratagold]

With the added factor that the initial Carter-Voracek trade was one of several moves that allowed the Flyers to sign Bryzgalov as a free agent, which was a huge part of why they ended up moving Bobrovsky. (AND that these trades were made when the Jackets were still in the Western Conference, but almost immediately afterward the division were realigned and the Flyers and Jackets ended up in the same division. Just to rub salt in everyone's wounds about it.)

[@sportskids1541]

But if you made that one big trade, it would acually be a pretty good deal for both sides

[@andreistaicu8158]

@@honoratagold They moved bob because it became public knowledge that he won't be resigning with the Flyers due to the Bryz contract (the owner told the then GM to get a top goalie no matter the cost cuz they lost in the playoffs due to shaky goaltending, hence Bryz). He didn't see a path to being that #1 with them. When that news broke, his stock plummeted and the Flyers had no leverage anymore. They got what they could. It seemed that the Flyers intention was to ride Bryz while Bob develops, then trade one...big uuf there. To extend the tree, the two eventually made another trade, sending Steve Mason to Philly, who ended up playing decent for them for a few years until concussions killed his career.

Chiarelli got us the cup tho. That pick they traded away was for Adam McQuaid, who was a great player in the 2011 playoff run and his contribution helped us get past Montreal in game 7. Horton or Seguin had to go and the more proven player was Horton who was also needed in the cup run, getting the game winner in game 7 vs Montreal and Tampa.

I understand when your team wins 3 stanley cups in 6 years you want to keep your star players as happy as possible but you should do it smartly. I mean of course star players did major job to win those cups, but what was great about that chicago, is that they always had good depth players in all 3 cup runs. but after 2015 chicago gave too many huge contracts to their star players and it backfired because they no longer have room for depth players.

Been downhill ever since. They should have signed one of them, then added smaller pieces that are changeable if they do not play well.

[@danbradley9754]

You forget how AWFUL the Wild were before the Parise and Suter signings. Those deals vaulted the Wild back to relevance. There’s a reason they made the playoffs 6 years in a row after signing them. Wild absolutely made the right move to sign them.

[@rinscheida]

lol Abdelkader didn’t even score a goal in 49 games this year. I’m from Detroit and the only reason he ever had decent numbers is because Babcock put him on a line with a couple people named Datsyuk and Zetterberg sometimes. And of course Chicago’s had to be trading Panarin for Saad huge joke lol

[@RobCl1985]

What makes the Sergachev / Drouin deal even worse was the fact that Drouin was not only starting to look like a bust, but also didn't even want to play in Tampa. It was looking like Tampa didn't have a leg to stand on but managed to pull this deal off. And I think the Pens giving up on Fleury, essentially losing him for nothing to the expansion draft, is worse than the Perron deal.

[@michaeldipietro5010]

Forsberg and Vrana with some young unnamed playmaking center would look good these days. The former looks to be a good finisher. The latter has elite speed to burn defenses with a good shot to boot.

[@futuremet91]

For the Rangers, Richards wasn't bad for them while he was on the team and they used a compliance buyout on him, so that cost them $0. I'd say the worst move was between drafting McIlrath in 2010, signing Dan Boyle in the 2014 offseason instead of re-signing Stralman, or trading for Eric Staal at the 2016 deadline.

[@NicheyMayonnaise]

this video could be made on the oilers alone

[@davidcarr1071]

Hahahahaha the Jeff skinner trade turned out really well for the canes.

[@AZ20_AZ20_]

Have you done a vid where you go through every team’s biggest draft steal in the last 10 years? If you haven’t I’d love to see it.

[@chengliu872]

To be fair to the Oilers for that Yakupov drafting, many people saw him as a great player. If I remember correctly, he was more or less the consensus for 1st overall.

[@falseandfactssports]

What’s crazy looking back on the skinner trade, is now it looks like the canes won.

[@jacobfienberg7765]

You should do the top 10 or 15 best upcoming ufa’s this offseason

[@philippealain6978]

Good idea. Impressive how few teams didn’t really made any important mistake. Drafting Burmistrov isn’t that bad, and Havlat vs Heatley was a low risk low reward so. Nice vid.

[@a_leis7]

Ugh I almost forgot about us drafting Alex Burmistrov 🥴

[@rbankins]

As a Kings fan I have to say in recent worst Kings decisions it has to be signing Ilya Kolchak.It was a complete disaster.

[@joshdrumheller4920]

Yeah as a Caps fan, that Forsberg one still hurts to this day. If we had kept him, he would have been on a line with Oshie and Either Backstrom or Kuznetsov. Not so sure they could have kept Carlson, Oshie, Kuznetsov, and Orlov if they had kept Forsberg though.

[@TeddyUsick93]

For the Leafs in 2011 they traded the 30th pick and 39th to move up to the 22nd pick and get Tyler Biggs. Anaheim used the 30th pick for Rickard Rakell and the 39th for John Gibson As a Sabres fan though I'd say the Ryan O'Reilly trade stung the most. But obviously the Ville Leino signing was bad too. The list is long haha.

[@enriqueleon1169]

Regarding Las Vegas, signing Shipachov didn't work out, but didn't cost them assets. Trading a #1, #2 and #3 for Tatar who was eventually traded to Montreal as a throw in was 10 times worse.

[@chrisammann9]

As an Islanders fan, this isn’t a full representation of the story. Tavares made clear he wanted to resign and didn’t want to be traded before the deadline, so the organization decided not to move him. He then pushed off extensions and allowed himself to slip into free agency and signed with the Leafs. It’s not that the Islanders didn’t want to get nothing for him, but more that there wasn’t an expectation we’d lose him until July 1 creeped closer and closer and no new contract was signed. Can still be classified as a mistake I guess, but I disagree

[@gabeknuth1842]

Just think of how good the Hawks would be if they kept Panarin. Cap hell would have happened but they could’ve kept contending.

[@jaminnsinte]

- Congratz kid, you've been drafted to the NHL! -Wow omg my dream came true! What team? -Edmonton Oilers! - ... bye!

[@josephking4416]

Peter Chirelli trades could possibly make this entire video. Eberle,Hall,Seguin signing #17 And Ericksson scoring on his new team was a huge negative foreshadow of his tenure in Vancouver.

[@FloridaHockeyFan]

Sharks - Signing Erik Karlsson to a massive over payment after serious injuries. So glad my bolts didnt trade for him a few years back.

[@ackkat2465]

gudbranson is having an elite defensive season and decent offense with the flames

[@coreyhill681]

Great video but do you think you can do the best moves for all 31 teams

[@ericmaloney3889]

0:45 18 games, 3 points. Took him 3 more seasons (165 games, 47 points) before he became the William Karlsson we all know now. Hindsight is 20/20, so I wouldn't call that their worst move of the past 10 years.

[@wyomingptt]

Agree the Pens trade for Perron never worked out, but they were able to flip him for Hagelin who was pretty integral to them winning TWO Stanley Cups! I would have put the Brassard deal instead. Sure it didn't exactly hurt them in the long run, but it just seemed bizzare coming off a Cup win to start putting guys primarily on your team to fight when they never really had that mindset before, plus Brassard was never going to be happy on the third line, despite his third line level talent lol.

[@robertkent4929]

Came here just to see my team's flop kn Forsberg. I knew it was coming Worst thing we ever did (even worse than signing Copley over Grubuer)

[@hockeyisgoated6696]

I’m a caps fan and I f we still had grubauer and samsonov we would be godly

[@joshdrumheller4920]

Yeah I've had resentment for McPhee since that day. Think god he got fired not long after. If we had Forsberg today, man him on a line with Kuznetsov......godly like dreams!!!!

[@doaftheloaf]

the problem isn't that they traded grubauer, it's that they didn't get enough back. copley can do a competent job as an NHL backup...but it's unlikely he gets the chance in washington. maybe winnipeg picks him up on waivers once they figure out brossoit is awful...though i figure they'd pluck dell off waivers first. next year, i figure the caps either have vanacek backing up or another veteran. grubauer had to go sometime, samsonov was always the future.

[@nolananderson4782]

Looking back at this from summer 2022: The Karlsson trade is without a doubt the Sharks' worst move. Shipachyov doesn't even crack the top 5 worst moves Vegas has made -- instead it's things like managing their cap so poorly that they traded Fleury and Paccioretty for nothing, trading away Nick Suzuki and other young stars, alienating everyone who's ever played for them....

[@DaeLh]

Wouldnt Dylan Strome be a bigger mistake on Arizonas part than Perlini? Strome was picked 3rd, never played and then got shipped of to Chicago where he excelled.

[@isaiahhemann7522]

the Minnesota Wild's worst decision for me is drafting Benoit Pouliot 4th overall in 2005 considering the Canadiens took Carey Price the very next pick.

[@chengliu872]

I feel like the Karlsson trade could be the one for the Sharks if the 1st round pick ends up being a top 3 and at least one of Josh Norris, Rudolfs Balcers and Mads Sogaard ends up being really good.

[@JaredLS10]

Lol at Ken Holland picture.
