Blue Jackets: worst moment was getting fleeced by Flyers
Flyers: worst move was getting fleeced by Blue Jackets
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.)
But if you made that one big trade, it would acually be a pretty good deal for both sides
@@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.
Brah
As an Oiler's fan, how on earth did you pick just one?
I'm sorry you have Holland now.
@@DocKatz He's made some great signings so far. Archibald initial signing and extension has been great. I don't think he has the pressure of keeping the playoff streak alive for a dying owner now hindering his decision making.
@@OFFICALcock That playoff streak was headed down the drain years prior to his leave. He still has to take responsibility, but I will say it's not entirely his fault. At least he's doing better somewhere else. Unlike Babs. xD
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.
@@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.
Honorable Detroit mention: Trading away their 1st round pick for Kyle Quincey and that 1st round pick was Vasilevskiy.
Also with sharks the Vlasic and Karlsson contracts don't look too good right now.
Goddammit, back to therapy I go.
Yes more poor Ken Holland decision making
Signing Franzen over Hossa and having Hossa win 3 cups with Chicago over the next five years
Cmon, Jonathan Ericsson. Worse ever
Honourable mention: Oilers traded there 1st round pick for Griffin Reinhart who’s not even in the nhl anymore and that pick ended up being Matthew Barzal who now is a nhl all-star. Imagine Barzal, Mcdavid, and Draisaitl
And they drafted Beauvillier cuz they traded the second the Oilers gave them to a first to draft Anthony Beauvillier
Do an updated list!
There could be a list of top 10 dumb moves by Peter Chiarelli
Way over 50
If you look at trades he made. He traded away both tyler seguin and a pick that ended up being jamie benn
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. But I’ll admit he could have gotten much more from Thornton, but his other decisions were justified at the time
That list would go on forever!!!!
“Top 100”
Oilers bad decisions:
Signing Nail Yakupov
Trading Taylor Hall
Trading Jordan Eberle
Trading a draft pick (Mattew Barzel) for Griffin Reinhart
So many bad decisions!! 😭
Drafting Jesse Puljujarvi could be up there too
Signing Milan Lucic was also a really bad decision.
Sorry oilers fans
Also The other pick they gave up in the Reinhart trade was flipped for the beauvillier pick
@@ukkeliskukkelis8971 not drafting him, but just fucking up the whole situation in his case
Thank god Boston didn't land those players at the 2015 draft.
That would’ve been terrible
As a Tampa fan I respect that draft more than I respect most things in this world
As a Bruins fan I was fuming after that draft. In fact I'm getting a bit heated now just thinking about it.
@@Batman-bh6vw i mean... y'all passed on konecny... dude's a blossoming star and imagine having him AND marchand on the same team lol, the chirping/trolling would be unparalleled
@@FamilyGuyRoks6 Yeah... I feel like they could've thrown darts at the draft board and get a better result than they did.
Was just here to make sure Abdelkader made the list.
I mean there’s also Nielsen.
Ha! Same
Yzerman is home. He'll fix this lol
Steven Weiss was a much worse decision than Abby. We lost Flip for Weiss. And Abby is at least on the roster
Ericsson's contract was worse by a mile
I just wanted to say that the Blues HAD to trade Bishop since he was going to be a very rare Group 6 unrestricted free agent, and he didn't want to sign. So they traded him to get something instead of losing him for nothing.
Pittsburgh's worst move is easily the Jack Johnson contract
Or drafting Pouliot in 2013
Or trading Sundy and a first for Reaves
As a pens fan I agree but it could also be pouliot or Bennett even though I can’t blame them for drafting bennet
I think it’s when they traded Markus Naslund, went on to be one of if not the best Canuck of all time.
@@quix9556 that happened more then 10 years ago...........
Sharks: Signing Erik Karlsson to an 8 year 92 million dollar contract
Sure he was good, but he completely regressed
Joseph. That's what I was going to say. Horrible signing.
@@wayne3340 look would you rather pay a player that playes or pay 8 million for player who doesn't
I’m a sharks fan and I almost stabbed myself when this happened
Or Vlasic... Or Burns...
I mean they seriously shot themselves in the foot
The last time I was this early the senators were a good team
Was this channel in 07..?
Viljappi _ U mean 2016?
lol
Viljappi _
Don’t you know that the sens made the ECF in 2017?
When was the last time you had an original comment?
I feel Sharks are really gonna regret acquiring Karlsson and giving up their draft picks this year
Totally agree, not only the terrible play this season leading to that 1st rounder potentially becoming Lafreniere, but also that massive contract is probably gonna hamstring this team for the foreseeable.
Same could really be said about the Vlasic contract looking back, as well as potentially the Burns contract if both continue to regress
@@twaddle29 Not to mention giving up Pavelski
@@father042 Are you saying letting Pavelski move on was a bad move or resigning Karlsson instead of signing Pavelski for a short term deal was a bad move?
That draft is gonna be so hard to watch. Absolutely worst trade ever. 😩
Its gonna be a fat yikes come expansion
Me as a Leafs fan
Every other team: Ha ha idiots!
When it comes to the Leafs: Oh god no!
Cries in bruins fandom
Youre the best leafs fan! Coming from a Montréal fan
Yea I laughed when I saw they made that move, the guy was never good
xxdarknight103xx the sad part is I haven't got to the leafs yet and you could be talking about so many moves 🤦♂️
@@desmondcarson2476 Not really when talking the last 10 years. If you go back farther sure.
Vegas giving up a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for Tatar at the 2018 deadline was pretty brutal. Not sure how Detroit swindled Vegas into that when Tatar only had 28 pts in 62 games at that point.
Vegas used him in the Pacioretty trade that offseason, but at that point his trade value was so low he was basically a throw in. To make matters even worse though, Tatar posted his best seasons since leaving Vegas. 58 pts in 80 games in 2019, and 61 pts in 68 games in 2020.
I feel like it wasn’t really the Islanders fault that they got nothing for Tavares, bc Tavares told them not to trade him
He acted like he was staying the whole time, only to screw them over in the end. Islanders fans SHOULD be salty, this coming from a life long Leafs fan... Doesn't matter what team I like, when I smell bullshit, I will call it out every single time!
Johnny hockey is great at the game, amazing actually. However, I do not trust him.
PRYVTgomerPYLE 100%!
Panthers, the Vegas expansion draft. "Giving" Sin City Marchassault and Smith for practically nothing.
Proof that this OhNyquist idiot doesn't do his homework before he makes these videos. He just pulls everything out of his ass, which is the reason why I don't subscribe to his channel.
The Sens trading Zibanejad away for Brassard was rough, thankfully I’m a huge Ranger fan
That would of been a better dumb move to put than the Duchene trade
Mika is a monster watch out for the Blueshirts next season...whenever that is, of course.
Also Ben Bishop for Corey Conacher lmao
Yeah that zibanejad trade was definitely worse than the Duchene one.
Zibby+2nd rounder for brassard
As a hawks fan, you almost made me cry
Same. But hawks have made a LOT of dumb moves in the last 3 years. They also traded away Teuvo Teravainen who's a star for the Canes right now. This season, they traded away Robin Lehner for no fucking reason and now they have a huge goalie problem. Also traded away Gustaffson for no reason, he was one of their best defensemen this year.
Keegan Hilsen who would you rather have Byfuglien or SEABROOK lol the Seabs contract hurts so bad
@@zaid-bm7uu they traded lehner because he wasnt happy so wouldnt resign
the seabrook deal was pretty bad...he's barely an NHL defenseman now.
I'd say Canucks worst decision is drafting Jake Virtanen when Judd Bracket told Benning to draft Larkin
I agree but I also see why Benning took Virtanen. To leave Cam Neely 2.0 (at the time) on the table was untenable. The pain of releasing the pride of Maple Ridge, BC (my hometown) is a festering cancer never forgiven here.
@@mattblom3990 yeah all gms loved him at the draft
Shotgun Jake is no bad decision
@@golsonmoldon9455 I like Jake but he is not Dylan Larkin
No, he is shotgun Jake and his time has come. 👍
Many worse trades by the Nucks then that one IMO, with the Neely trade being near the top if not the top.
I get why your picking that one, but I think time is still a factor to ultimately fully tell that tale.
Heres half a dozen I would rate worse:
- Weise to the Habs for Diaz.
- Bernier and Grabner for Ballard and Oreskovich.
- Sillinger for nothing
- Sopel for Simmonds (via draft)
- Rick Vaive for Tiger Williams and then to kick in more teeth, trade Tiger for McClanahan..
- My personal favorite, RJ Umberger and Grenier for Rucinsky.
Nice Vid, The Oilers Weren’t In There Enough I Thought That At Least 14:21 Minutes Of The Video Would Be Dedicated To The Oilers
Yeah life as a Oilers fan is tough sometimes... all lot of times
I love the Flames, and the dumbest move they did was drafting Tyler Wotherspoon in the second round in the 2011 draft, the very next pick was Nikita Kucherov.
Buffalo - Tanking for McDavid and not getting him.
That has to hurt.
For Chicago I think it's Seabrook's contract. Because of that contract, they needed to trade away a lot of very good players like Teravainen, Panarin, and Saad.
Isn’t Saad back there now?
@@edday4093 because we gave them panarin
@@ultratech6671 he would of went anyways. No team can have 3 players at 10-11 million.
They've made a LOT of dumb moves in the last 3 years. the Teravainen trade really pissed me off. This season, they traded away Robin Lehner for no fucking reason and now they have a huge goalie problem. Also traded away Gustaffson for no reason, he was one of their best defensemen this year.
After his role in helping them win the Cup, the Hawks absolutely had to sign him. Trading away Panarin is way worse.
All I could think about was the McDonough for Gomez trade, horrendous
He said last 10 years.....
Yeah that was 2009, close one
in my opinion i think the neal for lucic trade was pretty good. neal was good for edmonton this season and lucic has more goals than he did in edmonton pretty much already and he also is a good physical player for calgary
As a Red Wings fan, I distinctly remember Perlini’s only goal. He scored a beauty in the upset over the Bruins and it was one of the highlights of detroit’s season!
Brent Burns trade is gonna need a trade tree from sportsnet in 5-10 years
San joe is definitely getting karlsson, that trade was incredible for Ottawa
I think that trade was pretty faire tbh
Montreal's worst move was trading away Ryan McDonough for Scott Gomez.
Yeah, its true, but that was more than 10 years ago
Imagine having Sergachev & McDonnah in this year finale!? GEES!
@@judahnanas9772 It was nice. Not gonna lie. ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Before watching...Signing Bryz followed by trading Bob then giving away JVR for Luke Schenn followed by signing Vinny Lecavalier for 5yrs at 4.5per then trading a 2nd and 3rd and a player to get Andrew Macdonald then compound this gem by giving him 30 mil for 6 yrs. All that is 2010 to April 2014...BUT the absolute worst move was firing Hextall, the guy that cleaned up all that junk and so much more.
the last time I was this early, Canadian teams were still winning the Stanley Cup
which was probably also the last time you had sex.
Pittsburghs best move is definitely trading for Kessel, the cups wouldn't have happened without him.
Phil would appreciate you saying that. I'm sure you are correct.
I think for the bruins it could have been giving up on their young players too early like Seguin wheeler jumbo Joe and Kessel etc
It’s past 10 years tho, only the Seguin one would qualify
Oh yeah but they still could have had amazing players and jumbo Joe can stop being memed about not winning a cup and they might even have more than just one
Kevin Paiement it would be a much different lineup in 2011 if they still had guys like wheeler or Thornton, there’d be no guarantee they’d still win the cup
@@centralhockey12 yeah your right because then cap space would become a very big issue
They traded Wheeler for Chris Kelly and Rich Peverly who were pivotal depth pieces in a cup run. Id make that trade every day of the week, youre right about the other guys though
Little change :
Ottawa: Brassard trade ( Zibanejad and a second ) Chicago : Weise and Fleischman acquired for Danault and a 2nd ( Romanov ) Great vid !
As a habs fan, that Danault trade is a fucking steal
Xavier Dubé habs fan too
I think vegas blunder was trading Perron away, he’s such a solid player for St. Louis. He always gives us trouble when we play them
There could be a video many times longer than this just about the oilers
The Devil's I would have said the Bo Horvat for Schneider trade
And everyone thought the Canucks got duped. I met Horvat briefly and said I thought it was a good trade in like 2016 or something.
Owen Alderson Schneider was a top 5 goalie until sometime in 17/18 season
@@quinlanb7193 He was a top 5 on a terrible team. That makes a difference!
Like Carey Price... One of the best, on a shit team.
And now?
LOL
schneider was useful for some time in NJ. then suddenly all his ability left him.
I understand argument about panarin trade to columbus, that's valid point. but in my opinion the worst decision blackhawks made past 10 years was not making smart moves when it comes about contract extensions. 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.
great vid keep it up man!
There's also the gomez for McDonaugh trade by MTL that sucked preety badly
Honestly, I think that trading Eberle was worse than drafting Nail
In edmonton Ebs averaged 27g 35a 62pts. He doesn't get the respect he deserved
The Wild’s biggest slip up is actually trading for Hanzal at the deadline in 2017. A few games before the trade, Jonathan Toews lit up Minnesota and GM Chuck Fletcher made it a priority to target a shutdown center to go up against the Toews line. ( This was of course, if the two teams met in the 2nd round. At the time, they were 1 and 2 respectively in the conference.) The Wild were 1st and after the deadline pickup, they started to sink. Hanzal was horrible for the Wild, it messed with everything and then they obviously couldn’t fix it, losing in round 1. I think about that year a lot looool
Red wings: trading for Kyle Quincey and giving Tampa our 19th pick. They used it to draft Andrei vasilevskiy. This one hurts.
You can never really recriminate trading a pick outside the top 10. You never know who you're going to get at that point and if you were smart enough to see Vasilevsky was going to be a legend, then you'd find a way to get into the top 15 and grab him. As would any othert GM who had the genius insight. But no, Tampa thought he was good value at 19 and got a steal. If they had some magical insight they'd have desperately traded that pick up a few spots to make sure they didn't miss him.
Before I see the Panthers one, Smith and Marchessault
Nope
Nah.
Your work is great, but i wouldn’t consider a draft pick a bad decision. Like Yakupov was the consensus number 1. Any other team in the league prolly would have taken him. (Except Toronto bc of the Brian Burke interview).
This is kind of the thing, isn't it? Moving over to the NFL for a second, the Cleveland Browns entered the 2014 draft with the #4 and #26 pick. They traded down the #4 and ended up with an extra first rounder the following year, good move. Johnny Manziel was highly rated by a lot of (not all) people and if they had drafted him 26th instead of giving up a 3rd rounder to draft him 22nd, they would have faced not half the criticisim in the coming years. Or missed out on him and had Carr or Bridgewater fall in their lap, making them look smarter than they probably were.
Okposo’s contract was only bad because of injuries screwing him over, he’s reformed himself as a good 4th liner, the O’Reilly trade was millions of light years worse
a good fourth liner..... making 6mil a year
Great video but do you think you can do the best moves for all 31 teams
I would have to disagree with the Rangers worst decision. For that I would say drafting Dylan McIlrath was worse especially when you consider what they missed out on and Richards at the very least gave them 2 runs to the ECF or further while putting up extremely good numbers in the playoffs.
The fact that Cam Fowler was taken two picks later that draft makes it so much worse.
Right before Rangers I paused it and I'm like it has to be either McIlarth or letting Stralman walk. Richards was one of the better moves Rangers made it gave us another go to offensive player besides Gabriok. Only reason Richards was bought out was because we had the compliance buyout from the lockout.
@@bigsmooth554 and try again Tarasenko was taken 6 picks later 😭😭😭😭
Vegas: Trading Fleury for literally fuck all
San Jose also had to give up Pavelski when signing Karlsson because of the cap
You should do the top 10 or 15 best upcoming ufa’s this offseason
For Toronto trading Tuukka Rask also pretty brutal
That happened back in 2005...
Tuukka wouldn't have been that great in Toronto. He would have played in the Pha"Goof" and David Nonis era for the Leafs. They had no defense at all! Much different that playing with Chara and company...
Okay how is drafting Yakupov worse than trading future Hart trophy winner for Adam Larsson?
I mean you could pick plenty of moves from Oilers, that team should have had a dynasty (or at least multiple sc finals appearances) going on right now with the amount of 1st overall picks they had in the last decade
hey, the isles got barzal and beauvillier out of the reinhart trade. at least larsson can play.
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
The Blackhawks is without question the sequence of backing Bowman over Quenneville, so that Bowman fires Quenneville (and later McDonagh too) and hires Colliton.
Rangers Honorable Mention: Dylan McIrath at #10 overall
And signing Bobby Holik @ 9M$ per year for 5 years!!! XD
Habs and Mcdona
That’s what I was thinking was it 10 Years ago or less
For the penguins I would have gone with: reaves trade (1st and sundqist), the brassard trade, the jack johnson signing, or the kessel trade. All way worse IMO
Only bad one there is the Johnson signing because brassard was shit for us and we were forced to trade kessel.
CodForLife04 brassard trade was one of the worst decision from the senators , even worst then duchene . They lost zibanejad
I tend to be forgiving of draft busts because reliably predicting an 18 year old's value can be hard. With that in mind, here are some mistakes the Oilers made that I think are bigger than drafting Yakupov (in no particular order):
- re-hiring MacTavish
- hiring Dallas Eakins
- hiring Peter Chiarelli
- trading Jeff Petry
- trading Devin Dubnik
- trading Taylor Hall
- trading Jordan Eberle
- trading the 2015 #16 pick
- signing Milan Lucic
I’d argue the hall trade is worse for Edmonton, in my mind consciously trading away a guy who has already proving he’s gonna be star for an average defenseman is worse than just missing on a pick in what was a weak draft anyway, imagine having mcdavid with hall and still having Draisaitl and nuge on the second line
I know Edmonton’s before watching the video. -Devils Fan
I guess I was wrong
They are so bad! Honnestly probably 25 of the team would have Picked Yakupov so it is not that much of a bad move
@@mathiscaty4408 Oilers scouts ranked Ryan Murray over Yakupov that draft, 9 of 11 scouts wanted Murray. Oilers brass didn't listen to the people who they employ to advise them on the who, instead they must of been watching TSN. Heard rumors here in Edmonton that Lowe vetoed the Murray pick. When asked after the draft about not picking Murray, he pointed at his cup ring and told the reporter "I have six of these, I know what I'm doing."
inneedofmedication would have been a better pick but still... Murray could have Turned out great. Still that the only player who is not a bust in the top 5 is Reilly, so I think that the blame should not be completly on The Oilers. Its like that Hishier-Patrick draft. They both seem like they are going to bust, both neither Heiskanen or Makar was an option at the Time.
@@inneedofmedication "When asked after the draft about not picking Murray, he pointed at his cup ring and told the reporter "I have six of these, I know what I'm doing."
*Ron Howard narrates* He didn't
Yakupov was the result of Daryl Katz's son having a love affair with him. Everyone else wanted Murray.
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.
THERE could be a list of top best players in the 2020 draft class
I dont think that the yakupov was a Mistake it’s hard to see how good an 18 year old is going to be in 5-10 years
Dr. Ch31 also, any other teams would have picked him if they got first pick
Cl Plays apart from the leafs cause Brian Burke hated the guys draft interview
Kaiden Dove true
Well, that doesn’t change the fact that it was a mistake
Minnesota, Parise and Suter contracts
Been downhill ever since. They should have signed one of them, then added smaller pieces that are changeable if they do not play well.
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.
Great video! You deserve way more subs!!!
Doesn't matter. His videos are always great.
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.
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.
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.
As an Avs fan that Bleackley draft still hurts to this day lol especially watching what Pasta turned into.
I would do the Parise/Suter contracts for Minnesota
Its always funny how so many of these trades or drafts were considered "smart" or "a steal" at the time they happened (and for good reason in many cases), but it just proves that its hard to tell how things are going to pan out with players. A great player may struggle or get injured... there could be chemistry issues or people clashing with coaches which isn't anticipated.
What’s crazy looking back on the skinner trade, is now it looks like the canes won.
Kyle Okposo Wasn't the worst decision the sabres made in the last 10 years, that would go to Signing Ville Leino. His 2013 - 2014 season speaks for itself.
Or maybe it ends up being the Skinner contract now. Time will unfortunately tell.
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
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....
Vorachek is once again a Jacket
The contract the Sabres gave Skinner is light years worse than Okposo's!
Ugh I almost forgot about us drafting Alex Burmistrov 🥴
Leafs drafting Tyler Biggs was a huge fuck up too. The guy can't even hack it in the coast.
Lol at Ken Holland picture.
The Flyers trading away Bobrovsky is the most tragic trade in my opinion. The owner wanted to solve the goalie situation, so they signed Bryzgalov, the best goalie on the free agent market, which then led to the young Bobrovsky not having a chance to start and so the Flyers traded away a young stud who would go on two win 2 Vezinas for basically nothing, while Bryz ended up being a head case and huge failure as the franchise goalie the Flyers had hoped for. *Sigh* Here's to Carter Hart actually being the franchise goaltender us Flyers fans have been waiting for!!
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.
I would say Chicago's dumbest move is giving an aging Brent Seabrook 6.875 a year with a no movement for it's entirety, which caused the lose-lose scenario where Panarin had to be traded. But, given that Panarin got over 11 mil per from the Rangers, Chicago wouldn't have been able to keep him more than a couple seasons anyway.
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.
Hahahahaha the Jeff skinner trade turned out really well for the canes.
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.
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.
As a Canes fan, I’ve gotta ask, what about the Alexander Semin contract? We’ve still got 2.33 in dead cap through 2021 and he hasn’t been on our team for 5 years. At least we got assets for Skinner.
"Kyle Okposo contract."
Skinner - hold my beer.
Acquiring Hayes at the trade deadline was the worst move for the Winnipeg Jets. Yeah, Burmistrov didn't pan out in the long run, but they got some use out of him. Remember how bad the whole team was back then? Burmi was in the top half of that dumpster fire.
Just think of how good the Hawks would be if they kept Panarin. Cap hell would have happened but they could’ve kept contending.
i was kind of meh about the Skinner trade too at the time, but the current outlook for Carolina is more optimistic. Those draft picks gave them Pyotr Kochetkov (hotshot rookie G) and Alex Nikishin (a top d-men in the KHL at 21 years old). If Carolina can pry Kikishin from St Petersburg, that trade will turn into a definite win for Carolina.
Just realized that this video is 2 years old. So given that, I'd say the worst move is a tie between signing Bill Peters and drafting Noah Hanifin over Mikko Rantanen in 2015. Imagine if they had drafted Aho AND Rantanen that year. Yikes.
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.
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.
Skinner: Maybe it was good for carolina
The jackets got Voraceck back
For the leafs I would think it would be the trades at the 2011 draft table. We lost Manson, Rakell and Gibson and got Tyler Bigs
The Weiss signing was WAY worse than Abby. Also trading a 1st rounder (Andrei Vaisileveskey) for the pylon that is Kyle Quincey
