As a Red Wings' fan, I'm happy with how things turned out.

Yzerman is a god

“Howe” things turned out. I see what you did there.

I gotta say though, Gretzky and Yzerman would have been an epic combo

@@coastaku1954 if steve wasnt part of the deal. There were talks of it at that time . Curious though.

@@coastaku1954 Steve Yzerman would have been the only way that the oilers would have traded Gretzky. Who else would Detroit give up that even came close? Petr Klima? Bob Probert? Adam Oates?

@JBeezy003 2 года назад

Gretzky, Yzerman, Fedorov all on the same roster at that time.... wow

@JiraiyaTheGallant44 9 месяцев назад

That would have been lethal. The Russian Five, Yzerman, Gretzky, Lidstrom, potentially Shanahan if they still made that move in 1996. That might have solidified that Wings team as the best of all time. Probably could have been the equivalent to the 90's Bulls but for hockey.

@TheOuterDrive 2 года назад

Imagine Wayne playing with Yzerman and the 90s wings! Holy shit!

GRETZKYS DAD ALWAYS CHANGES THE FUTURE SUCH A RESPECTABLE MAN. RIP WALTER (I'm cringey af but I'm only 13 so give me a break)

Ain't nothing cringey about honoring Walter Gretzky man. He's a big reason Wayne is who he is

Make sure you hug your dad and tell him that you love him as often as possible. You never know when he might not be here anymore. I miss my Dad so much and think about him just about every day.

@deBebbler 2 года назад

In middle school, I became a Wings fan in 1988, and I do appreciate how incredible it would have been to snag The Great One, but I wouldn't trade my DRW fan experience for anything. You can keep Gretzky and I will happily keep Yzerman, Lidstrom, The Russian Five, The Grind Line, Datsyuk, Zetterberg, etc.

I was 14 yrs old and lived in Ontario at the time. The entire COUNTRY blamed Janet Jones for the trade. We all thought, through the media, that she wanted Wayne in LA so she could continue her acting career. And What Gretzky didn't mention in this clip is that the reason Pocklington traded Wayne was because Pocklington was in financial trouble. The deal paid Pocklington like $15 million U.S. at the time. Essentially, he sold Wayne to LA for the cash so his businesses would not go bankrupt - businesses outside of the Oilers. What a crying shame.

@buddhabBALLlN 2 года назад

Wow could you imagine how many cups wings coulda had if only

@pianotalent6437 Год назад

Huh. Really interesting how the greatest NHL player grew up a Redwings Fan. Before Gretzky was the greatest player, Gordie Howe was and he was a redwing. There’s really something special about the Wings franchise that I feel like most people don’t know.

@robjames3864 2 года назад

So what if Gordie Howe was a Red Wing. Gretsky could of added to the history. Strange reasoning by his father..

@TheMarshallMathersLp1980 2 года назад

I would have loved to have GRETZKY in Detroit damm

@thefearlessbros 2 года назад

What's crazy is that if what he said is true, Gretzky's dad basically changed hockey in the US by convincing Gretzky to go to LA.

@vincentthekeeper2163 2 года назад

Gretzky in the 80s might have screwed with the drafting and deals that got Detroit fans the 90s teams.Yzerman was already a Red Wing though so who knows.

Yzerman Gretzky Fedorov On the same line would’ve been unfair. They would’ve had 3 mvps on the same line

@robertharmon5093 2 года назад

Food for thought if the trade would have happen Bob Probert would likely had an 40 goal season if not more

@NoteWorthy2023 2 года назад

I would of loved him as a Red Wing💋❤Love always anyhow.Him and Yzerman would have been a deadly duo.

@tmoore4075 2 года назад

Would love to know what the package going back would have been. But I'm happy with how things turned out. It took 9 more years to win a Cup, I got to see it. I was only 5 when Gretz was traded and that Wings team just lost to EDM in the 3rd round. I might not have seen all the stuff I saw as I got older. Now, had I been older in 88 maybe I would feel differently.
