Most Lopsided Trade in NHL History

Predsgm · Guru

here is no doubt the biggest lopsided trade ever

Brett Hull traded from Calgary Flames with Steve Bozek to St. Louis Blues for Rob Ramage and Rick Wamsley

Hull only became the 3rd best national hockey league goal scorer of all time cause of that deal.... oh terry crisp what were you thinking lol

I think the Milbury takes the cake- these three trades come to mind.

Spezza, Chara, Muckalt for Yashin (then signed him to a retarded contract)

Olli Jokinen and Roberto Luongo for Mark Parrish and Oleg Kvasha (NYI to FLO)

Bertuzzi, McCabe, 3rd rounder(Ruutu) for Linden

I don't know which of the first 2 are worst, but 90% of the average joes on the street could hire an advisor and do 10x better than Milbury. I can't believe he made not, 1 but 2 of the worst deals in history.

I think without a doubt this reward goes to Cliff Fletcher and the Gilmour deal he made with Calgary

To Toronto
Doug Gilmour,Jamie Macoun, Ric Nattress, Kent Manderville, and Rick Wamsley

To Calgary
Gary Leeman, Alexander Godynyuk, Jeff Reese, Michel Petit and Craig Berube.

Here is another beauty !

Cam Neely and Vancouver's first round draft pick in 1987 to Boston for Barry Pederson

The funny part about this deal was Barry Pederson was considered a much better hockey player and at the time was but was nothing compared to Neely once Neely matured to a full fledged vet.

Just looking over the Thornton deal, and it was not to bad.
Sturm and Stuart both turned out to be decent players, and Primeau is a very useful player to have on any team.
Did Boston lose the deal ? Certainly !
Was it terribly one sided ? I do not think it rates anywhere near many others.

Considering that the only player that remains on the boston roster is sturm, i would say it was hugely lopsided for the sharks...

and rod, the neely trade... *cough check the first post cough*

Yeah missed that, sorry Gareth

haha yeah that deal looks horrible right now, but hindsight is 20-20 i guess. I knew richards and mueller were good but I had no idea marleau was going to drop off like he did. At least george turned marleau into frolov.

Early in the year.....Richards didn't project to what he is today...the pick was decent, Brule, don't care for. But we could perptually rebuild like some teams or go for it. We decided to go the other way.
