Let's see, Edmonton trades Perron and then Schultz to Pittsburgh, Pens and Schultz immediately win back to back Stanley Cups. Edmonton traded Pronger to Anaheim, immediately wins Stanley Cup with the Ducks that year. Edmonton traded Jaret Stoll and Matt Greene to LA, they win 2 cups, Los Angeles only 2 cups, in their time after the trade. Edmonton trades Patrick Maroon, who wins 3 consecutive Stanley Cups the next 3 seasons after the trade. Jesus H Christ, as an Oiler fan, this is painful
I remember 2017 game 6 between the oilers and ducks when Griffin Reinhart got an assist, an actual playoff point in a crucial elimination game. For that brief moment the oilers were winning the trade…. Then the very next season Reinhart was playing for Vegas’ AHL team and Barzal was winning the frickin Calder Trophy
Let me guess: Dale Weise and Tomas Fleischman for the pick that turned into Alexander Romanov and another player. And now it actually continues into 2022 with Montreal acquiring Kirby Dach from Chicago.
@@rv2167 lmao since when did kris letang become a scrub. Seems like recency bias to me since he hasn't stayed healthy. 5 years later and he's still not a bum even in his twilight years.
@@stellaroj didn't really read the year I was just surprised by that comment. I took an L but If I remember correctly they had about 5 guys who could actually play even if they were older. I'd take 5 guys who are decent and one physical guy over a stud and a bunch of bums. Pens were the god squad during the years
The HBK Line was murder in the 2016 playoffs. Who could forget Harnarayan Singh’s famous BONINO BONINO BONINO call in game one of the Stanley Cup finals against the Sharks? It never gets old for this Penguins fan…
Amazing that in 3 stints with the Blues, Perron was never traded there. He was drafted and signed as a free agent twice. Could’ve mentioned in the wrap up that he went to the finals with Vegas in their inaugural season too.
The Pronger-Shanahan tree is enormous, and could be even larger if you include it as a branch of the Ron Francis Whalers-Penguins trade in 91 (HFD got John Cullen, traded him to the Leafs for a 2nd rounder in 93, then packaged that with a couple of other picks and Sergei Makarov and sent them to San Jose for the 2nd overall pick in 93, which was Pronger).
Peter Chairelli masterplan of not getting MATHEW BARZAL WHO WON THE CALDER As an Oilers fan my pain levels are worse than the Electric Chair ADOHJGOISHGOIEUHROIGWHROUIHOFGHSUOGHYOUFHG
I was so excited to hear the oilers side. Killed me at reinhart lol. And omg imagine mcdavid and Chabot, mcdavid and samsonov.. ugh part of me died inside haha
You forgot to mention isles flipped the Stephen's pick to tampa with a 3rd for the 28th pick to get Beauviller, the 3rd tampa received was used to take Anthony Cirelli. Win win for both there
Do a trade tree of the Dallas Stars and Pittsburgh Penguins, look back at that. It involved James Neal and Matt Niskanen heading to Pittsburgh for Alex Goligoski.
@@alexyerkey3141 and you know the pens got Spaling as well in that trade, than a season later spaling was used in a package that got sent to Toronto that got the pens to bring in 2x Stanley Cup Champion Philip J. Kessel.
Hi. Iserlohn Roosters (It's pronounced Eeserlohn) Fan from Germany here. Although Griffin Reinhart didn't pan out in the NHL, he was very solid on our team (11 points in 22 games). Unfortunately he didn't re-sign and now plays in the British League
Rutherford's favourite thing to do was overpay for other teams' top 6 wingers just to have Sullivan inexplicably stick them on the third line, tank their value, and lose them for nothing lmao "Hey Sid, you don't wanna play with Perron, Brassard, (Pearson?), Galch, or the Zucc. Play with these totally not made up guys instead, z A c H a S T o N - R E e S e and d O M i N i k S i m O N"
Brassard and Galchenyuk were absolute trash for the Pens. Makes me sick to think we got rid of Ian Cole (ipso-facto) for Trasshhard and Phil "The Thrill" Kessel for Galchensucks.
Trade tree idea: The Rod Langway trade that saved the Capitals in Washington. Has several big names involved, and several notable players for Washington included. Montreal fans may not like it.
You guys should look at the 1991 trade between the Penguins and Whalers for Ron Francis. It's a doozy involving hall of famers like Paul Coffey, Brenden Shanahan, Sergei Zubov, and more. Could lead to another epic video like the Gretzky and Lindros videos.
What a road to the Cup for Perron. Gets traded away from a team that wins back to back, then the next year he is in Vegas and makes it to the Cup only to lose. THEN the next year, he is a part of the magical run by the Blues. I'll never forget when Perron made that elite pass to Sanford who scored for the 4-0 lead in game 7 and Perron screaming "WE'RE GONNA WIN! "WE'RE GONNA WIN!". Love me some DP57.
Oilers about to get Connor McDavid and Mat Barzal. Thanos says "nope". Uses the Infinity Gauntlet and has them trade the pick for Griffin Reinhart. Thanos: "Aaah, perfectly balanced."
Can you believe this? Kessel plays on a good team and scores 22 points in 24 games in the playoffs. If only, he was on the Leafs. The Leafs need clutch players like Kessel in the playoffs.
Dallas stars traded Jagr for a first rounder in Jason Dickinson who was tradenfor a second round pick The Stars traded Jagr for a second round pick Love the Trade tree But everytime i watch them thats all i can think about
Just to turn the knife a bit more, with the 33rd overall pick, the Oilers could have gotten Sebastian Aho instead of Carolina. McDavid, Aho, and whoever you want to plug in at 16 probably finishes or very nearly finishes the Oilers rebuild.
Ah, didn't expect to see Andreas Martinsen in a vid about the NHL. Heja Heja DEG! ❤️💛 (Also interesting that the Iserlohn Roosters were mentioned here as well. 😅)
Sometimes trades make zero sense, like this one. You are a team that is tanking. You should be stocking up on draft picks, not trading them away for AHLers. How many times do we see it? Success at the junior and college levels does not necessarily transition to success in either the NHL or the KHL. The same can be said for coaching. I hope the next team Chiarelli ends up being the GM for is the Islanders, because they know how to expose him and bait him into overpaying for underachievers. It started with Johnny Boychuk, and the Islanders won that trade over the Bruins, and ended with the Eberle for Strome deal.
This would be kind of funny Jack eichel being traded to Edmonton McDavid and Jack eichel playing on the same team two years in Connor McDavid traded could they can't win the Stanley Cup
Is it bad that after this whole video, my only thought is "Are penguins considered birds" and thst was all I could think about after Steve remarked the Perron "Switched birds"?
This was a new to the Oilers GM who was picked up after the Oilers won the draft lottery. He had just finished playing musical chairs with the head office staff prior to the draft, and an ex-Oil King player who had the eye of the head of hockey operations folks from his draft year when he was a WHL all-star and the playoff MVP. Yes, it was and unmitigated miss of a trade, but given the organizational moves the team had made right before the draft they actually thought they were making the safe bet. So double fail?
This one hurts as an Oilers fan. Griffin was a basically a 4th overall pick, AND a 16th overall pick and only ever got a cup of coffee, and in both cases the Oilers lose.
Do the Trevor Linden trade tree. It directly led the Canucks to pick Both Sedins and aquire Luongo plus more . Plus there's the islanders side and Montreal side. I feel like this tree could be massive.
I didnt know there couldn't be a worse decision than what the Oilers did with that 1st rounder.... Like most of those players mentioned would easily have been elite talent for them. Imagine the ramifications if they selected Connor
Trade tree idea. Daymond lankgow from the flyers. it goes before him too if you want to go back further. But it leads to current flyers, it is still going and even got a new branch this off Season.
