Nordiques selected from Oshawa Generals Eric Lindros Wow look at all that drama I'm glad it's over yeah except for one small detail Lindros refused to go to the Nordiques it was a huge controversy at the time the fans in Quebec called him Bay Bay, brought pacifiers to the games about grown men in diapers, but years later, long after he retired and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, Eric Lindros sat down with sports networks Tara Sloan and made things clear. I think over time later, I referred to my wife's French. I have property in Quebec I guess I just didn't adequately explain that I didn't want to play for that particular owner as clearly as I should have and I didn't think I had to, but I wasn't going to play for that person and I chose not to. and here we are that's it in a nutshell it has nothing to do with the culture that has nothing to do with the French people obviously it's a beautiful place it's beautiful here but I wasn't going to play for that person and I chose not to, that's my right Choosing wasn't saying no to people, it was saying no to a particular person who was leading the team.

To put it simply, if Marcel Ubu hadn't been in charge of the Quebec Nordiques organization, you would absolutely have played here. and if he were in charge of the Toronto Maple Leafs, he would have chosen not to play for the Toronto Police. It's clear, so what do you do when your first overall pick refuses to play for your team? You got a trade and we were done. I used the word blockbuster these days, oh this guy got traded for two guys, no no, let me introduce you to the 90's friend, the Philadelphia Flyers swoop in and acquire Eric Lindros, while the Quebec Nordiques acquire Peter Forsberg, who is the sixth overall pick in 1991.
Same The draft is Lindros Chris Simon Ron Hextall Mike Ricci Steve Chesney a first-round pick in 1994 Kerry Huffman a first-round pick in 1993 and $15 million the trade was Lindros for six players two first rounders and 15 million now the purpose of these trade

trees

is to see how a trade evolves over time, the Philadelphia Flyers side is one guy, but before we get to the Quebec Nordiques side, we have Let's talk about that guy and his extraordinary career. Lindros, his first season in the NHL was spectacular as a rookie, he scored 41 goals, 34 assists and 75 points and was only good enough to get fourth place and the Calder vote, but I guess that's the kind of thing What happens when you are a rookie the same year, Teemu Selanne. scores 76 times, the other two called their finalists because of the way Joe Juno and Felix the Cat, the pop man, despite finishing fourth in the Calder vote, Erica Land Trust finished ninth in the heart vote, so he was in the top 10 for heart, but he wasn't nominated for the golden Salani was 6th by the way, it's ridiculous beyond his rookie season.
Lindros continued to live up to expectations in 1995, winning the Hart Trophy as league MVP, but with an unusually low point total: 29 goals, 41 assists for 70 points. an unusually low point total until you realize it was actually a lockout-shortened season and he scored those 70 points in just 46 games that season. He also won the Lester B Pearson Award today known as the Ted Lindsay Award as the league's MVP as voted by the players and throughout his career, Lindros was in the top 10 in heart voting on five different occasions. He was a playoff player. He had 24 goals and 33 assists for 57 points in 50 career playoff games, including an appearance in the 1997 Stanley Cup Final in his 486th game as a player. member of the Philadelphia Flyers Eric Lindros scored 290 goals 359 assists in his career for 659 points as a midfielder alone, that means that during his career with the Flyers Lindros scored 1 point 3 5 5 points per game, which in an 82 game season It's 100 11 point pace, but like I said, he played in the 90's, like a lot of other players and the rules were different and one of those players was Scott Stevens.
Lindros battled injuries throughout his entire career as a member of the Philadelphia Flyers and only eclipsed them. 70 Games Played Twice as Flyer Lindros played in 486 of six hundred and twenty-six possible regular season games, that's just seventy-seven point six percent of possible games played Basically, the Flyers were without their franchise cornerstone for about a quarter part of the time he was there. Was the Flyers' record there with Lindros in the lineup? It was two hundred and forty-nine wins 159 losses seventy-six draws because those were one thing and two losses in overtime the record without him 65 wins 58 losses 17 draws and one loss in overtime in a regular game of 82 In the season, the Flyers were on a ninety-seven point pace with Lindros in the lineup and on an 86 point pace without him and remember this is the '90s, almost all of that was without the losing points on penalties or overtime if go back and look. 86 points barely got you into the playoffs if they allowed you to be there every time. 97 points usually guaranteed you to be at home for at least the first round of the playoffs and in case you were wondering when I said Lindros only played in seventy seven point six. percent of possible games with the Philadelphia Flyers that number does not include the entire 2000 season 2001 that started there was the 2000 Eastern Conference finals concussion from Scott Stevens there was a sour relationship with the Philadelphia Flyers specifically Bobby Clark obviously as you saw on TV, those hatchets were buried, he's now a friend of the Philadelphia Flyers and he's in the Hockey Hall of Fame, not bad for a guy who only played in 760 NHL games and I'll just reveal my bias personally.
I love him. He has initiatives with the Philadelphia Flyers and does a lot of good in his home province of Ontario, specifically putting his name on the Eric Lindros Celebrity Hockey Classic in support of Easter Seals which raises hundreds of thousands of dollars for children with physical problems. disabilities every year and has raised millions over the life of the tournament and, believe me, he does more than just put his name in the tournament and play in it, he is involved in everything when it comes to fundraising, He really cares about the quality of the sandwiches and the material of the t-shirts and you'll never catch me saying a bad word about the big deal, but enough fawning over Eric Lindros.
Guess he should get to the trading tree, huh? What makes this trading tree so long? is that of these six players and two first-rounders that Quebec got in this trade, all but two were traded and then there's the question of the $15 million that I'll address right away, the $15 million that doesn't want that. If they offered you 15 million right now I bet you would take $15 million, you take it in today's salary cap world, this is 2020, it's been almost 30 years since this trade, what can you get for $15 million? Well, you could get a year. from Connor McDavid and you could get him a pretty decent linemate to play with;
In 1991, when this trade was made, Wayne Gretzky was the highest-paid player in hockey, making $3 million. What does three million dollars get you today? The NHL, the Vancouver Canucks, are paying over $3 million for Roberto alone during salary cap recovery this year and for the next two, so in 1991 hockey dollars, what does $15 million mean to make you in the best player in the sport five times more than the maximum? Let's talk about the two players in this trade who were not traded by the Quebec Nordiques organization after they were acquired. Let's start with Kerry Huffman because he's the easiest.
Kerry Huffman, a defenseman, had a nice little NHL career with 401 regular season games, his 20th. overall pick in 1986 as far as 1986 is concerned he's the 20th overall pick he was actually the second to last pick of the first hoop spent just one season with the Quebec Nordiques played 80 games scored 28 points that's the other guy we're going to have to spend a little more time on the other player, the other player, the Quebec Nordiques or should I say, the Colorado Avalanche, who was never traded was Peter Forsberg, while Eric Lindros burst onto the NHL scene with 41 goals as a rookie.
It took Peter Forsberg a couple more seasons. the same season that Eric Lindros won his Hart Trophy as league MVP in 99, five Peter Forsberg 1d Kaulder as the league's best rookie, but not long after that and by not much I mean he was a member of the Hall of Famer, he won a His own heart trophy as league MVP in 2003 and also that same season he won Art Ross as the league's top scorer. He was a three-time first-team All-Star and top ten finisher and Selkie voted four times and won an Olympic gold. medal to Sweden in 2006 and, of course, to the Stanley Cups with the Colorado Avalanche, now Colorado returns to Colorado Quebec.
Maybe I should spend a little time saying that the NHL situation in Quebec City just wasn't working to the point they are. They still talk about it all these decades later, but Quebec City still doesn't have another NHL team like Winnipeg, did they get their team back? But part of the talk at the time the Quebec Nordiques moved to Colorado to become the Avalanche was man if you give them these guys, another season knowing the madacorp of Joe Sakic and Peter Forsberg to build around the Forsberg year was a rookie the Norse also had Owen Nolan who was their third leading scorer, they also had Mats Sundin at one point and oh don't worry we'll get to them, and just like Lindros, like 17, actually Peter Forsberg had a Hall of Fame career.
Can you imagine if that team kept Owen Nolan while keeping Mats Sundin in 591 games with the Quebec Nordiques Colorado Avalanche organization? Peter Forsberg had 755 points. 217 goals 538 assists the guy was able to dish out I never got to see Wayne Gretzky or Mario Lemieux play hockey live, so I always tell people that the best player I saw live when I was a kid was Peter Forsberg. He would describe him as a polite bully. he would rush the puck through the neutral zone, someone would try to stop him and he would run them over and keep possession and I always picked them first in my 2001 NHL fantasy draft on PC, you didn't ask but you should have one of the The recurring theme of these videos is whether the team achieved its goal and ten times out of ten the goal is to win the Stanley Cup at some point.
If that's our criteria, PeterForsberg was an incredible playoff player in one hundred and forty playoff games with the team. Nordiques and Avalanche and that's a pretty good sign that you've had some success when you're in 140 Stanley Cup playoff games with the same team. Peter Forsberg scored 58 goals, 101 assists for one hundred and fifty-nine Stanley Cup playoff points. Now the tragedy with Peter. Forsberg is like Eric Lindros, injuries also shorten his career and the incredible thing about Forsberg is that despite having injury shortened seasons he would come back and be dominant after winning the league MVP in 2003. Forsberg returned for the Oh season 304, he only participated in 39 games. and scored 55 points and also scored 11 points in 11 playoff games then there was the old block 405 or 506, ironically he returns with the Philadelphia Flyers he only reaches 60 games 75 points next season he is the captain of the Philadelphia Flyers for Because irony is funny, he's only in 40 games, he's still designated, forty points, he's with the Nashville Predators for a hot minute, 17 games, 15 points, oh, seven, oh, eight, he tried, he really tried to come back with Colorado Avalanche in nine games. scored 14 points, this guy would play 26 games over the next two seasons for Moto in Sweden before trying to return two years later to the NHL, he lasted only two games and eventually that was it, there are a lot of Hall of Fame careers. that were shortened too soon Bobby Orr obviously Mike Bossy Pavel Bure is a name that doesn't get mentioned enough but Eric Lindros on Peter Forsberg is huge so we're ticking off to get a list here what have we talked about?
Kerry Huffman, Peter Forsberg, Forsberg's $15 million was never exchanged for the Avalanche we talked about. Peter Forsberg, what about Chris Simon? 146 games with the Norse and Avalanche 56 points but 555 penalty minutes Steve is a mistake, no, it's the 90. He reached 250 penalty minutes in one season and it wasn't even a big deal because he did it later. in his career, Ron Hextall was also in this deal, he did not stay with the team for long, although he only played 54 games with a record of 29, 16 and 5 and the five, by the way, his ties once again since the 90s. but it became part of a series between the Quebec Nordiques and the Montreal Canadiens.
Funny enough after his time in Quebec, he would go to the Philadelphia Flyers to play with Eric Lindros and then there is Mike Ricci, the brave ones, the guy from Scarborough, 228 points in 300. and 39 games with the Nordiques and Avalanche organization and no he was only a depth player in 93, he had 78 points Steve Duchesne I hope I'm not ruining his name to embarrass himself, is it a shame whatever they were 3 when this trade happened? Man, he didn't stay in Quebec for long, he had a full 82 game season, although when he was there, 20 goals, 62 points for 82 points, he was a point per game defenseman and finished seventh in Norris voting at 90 in the first round. pick in 1994, the Avalanche deal actually ran out, we'll talk about that a little later, Carey Huffman, we already talked about him too, let's spend a little time on the 1993 first round pick, Joseline Tebow, he only played in 57 games with the organization with a record of 23, 19 and 7, but because he was the 10th overall pick in 1993, he had some value and of course the $15 million that those six players in two picks gave them 12 hundred and three regular season games played 332 goals 763 assists, some of them belong to the hexa felt and 1095 points, if the tree ended there it ended right there, the Quebec Nordiques / Colorado Avalanche would have done quite well, but it goes on, the 15 million dollars from Kerry Huffman and Peter Forsberg, that's over now.
Get in the tree, let's go with Chris Simon, say what you want about him, but he was part of that Colorado Avalanche team that won the Stanley Cup in his first season in Colorado in 1996, playing 12 games in that early playoff run of the following season. The trade was Chris Simon and Curtis Listen moving from the Colorado Avalanche to the Washington Capitals for Keith Jones, a first-rounder in 1998 and a fourth-rounder in 1998. Keith Jones, a forward and now an analyst, played two and a half seasons for the Avalanche and his best season was 43 points in 67 games in his first season 96 97 during the 98 season 99 Keith Jones was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers and they continue to rise, quite a presence on the wing played parts of four seasons for the Avalanche his best season in 2000-2001, where he scored 32 points in an 82-game fall season, during the 2001-2002 season, the trade was Sean Poteen to the st.
Louis Blues in exchange for Mike Keene, my teenage son who the Colorado Avalanche had re-acquired, by the way, saved my nerve for a second, let's clear up the rest of this trade, the 1998 first-round pick the Avalanche got from the Washington Capitals became Scott. Parker, who played 237 games for them and committed 538 penalty minutes, would years later be traded to the San Jose Sharks for a fifth-round pick in 2003 that the Avalanche used to select Brad Richardson. 40 points in one hundred and thirty-six games with the Colorado Avalanche and I feel like Brad Richardson, that sounds familiar, yeah, he's still on the coyote after his tenure with the Avalanche Richardson was traded to the LA Kings for a second-round pick in 2008.
Avalanche used that pick on goalie Peter Delmas. Big things were expected of him coming out of the QMJHL. He never played an NHL game. The Avalanche also got a fourth-rounder in 1998 from the Capitals, packaged him with another fourth-rounder in 1998 and a fifth-rounder in 1998. They actually sent him back to the Capitals for a third-rounder in 1998. The Caps used that third-rounder on a player named Getti Lazarov who never played in the NHL. Now I mentioned the exchange with st. Louis Blues that saw Mike Keene join the Colorado Avalanche for the second time, let's talk about the first time every Habs fan is watching right now, as if we weren't after an embarrassing 11-1 loss at the hands of the Detroit Red Wings, yes, you.
I know where I'm going Patrick wah demanded a trade away from the Montreal Canadiens at some point over the next few days, the Colorado Avalanche told the Montreal Canadiens, hey, if you need another goaltender, we've got a guy who was recently drafted 10th overall. The Colorado Avalanche traded Jocelyne Tebow Andrei Kirilenko and Ski Martin Roche to the Montreal Canadiens on December 6, 1995 for Mike Keene and Patrick Wah. I mean, Patrick was obviously the sizzler there, but it's worth mentioning that Mike Keene was the captain of the Montreal Canadiens when that trade happened. points in 223 games as a member of the Colorado Avalanche and another 14 points in 63 playoff games he was a greedy guy what Montreal again wasn't bad Tebow had a record of 67 56 and 24 and 158 games with the Montreal Canadiens and a 908 percentage save Andre Kovalenko had only one season with Montreal but he was good 17 goals 34 points in 51 games Martin Roche in skiing that guy was a habit forever that is of great value he played 432 games with Montreal 297 points and one hundred and thirty-four of them were goals, but none of those things add up to Patrick wah man, a record of 262 wins, 140 losses in 65 draws, a pristine 918 save percentage during that time in the playoffs.
He was even better in one hundred and thirty-three playoff games with the ABS alone posting 81 and 52 and an even better save percentage of 922 alone during his tenure in Colorado. He was in the top ten and Vesna voted eight times, winning in 2001. Conn Smythe has the playoff MVP and, of course, one of two Stanley Cups with the Avalanche in 2001 and in his first season in the season in which he acquired wah in 1996, it's good to ask a friend who is a Habs fan so we can bother them often in these trade

trees

, we look at these little moves that come next and go.
Yes, but in this case one thing really led to another. Yes, speaking of goaltenders, let's look at the other one in this deal after his only season with the Quebec Nordiques. Ron Hextall was taken with a first round pick in 1993 and sent to the New York Islanders for Mark Fitzpatrick and a first round pick in 1993 now the same for Colorado in this situation it is Mark Fitzpatrick simply Yoink was taken by the Florida Panthers in the draft of expansion because in the early '90s it was about aggressive expansion, remember that line, remember it was like five wild cards ago, but the good thing for Colorado and all of this is that they actually moved up in the first round '93, they got the overall pick.
No. 14, while the Islanders got No. 23. It should be noted that that No. 23 overall pick went to the New York Islanders. was used to draft Todd Bertuzzi, say what you want about Todd Bertuzzi, but he was the tone-deaf definition of a power forward for several years, he was a dominant player and ironically would have an infamous association with the Colorado Avalanche, but before that. infamous association, he was a fantastic player in the NHL and the Avalanche might consider that deal a loss if the Islanders didn't deliver him. In the '90s, the Islanders did nothing better than draft extremely good players and take them.
The 14th overall pick the Avalanche got, they didn't give him away, they kept him for a long time and he was a valuable part of that team that won the Stanley Cup. Adam Dead Marsh actually I keep saying Colorado because Dead March is a staple of the Colorado Avalanche I see an Avalanche jersey and think of him but he actually started with the Nordiques 288 points in 453 games with the Avalanche and Nordiques yeah that's a pick that worked not to mention 22 goals and 56 points in 88 playoff games as well as an app, but a fun little footnote with Adam dead in March, lived every kid's dream, wins the Stanley Cup , so hold it above your head, all the blood, sweat and tears, the years you put into this and your day will come with the cup. and then they carve his name on the comforter, which happens a little while later and then he looks at it again, look, there's my name on them, they misspelled it after Adam Marsh died and the Colorado Avalanche won the Stanley Cup in 1996, accidentally .
He spelled it Dead March as with a CH after Adam Dead Marshes' tenure in Colorado, his tree continues, but I'll put an asterisk on it because he ended up being traded to the LA Kings, but it was with two first-round picks. tied to him, surely it was part of the deal, but the two firsts are what God had made, that deal was Adam dead, Marsh, a 2001 first round pick, a 2003 first round pick and a player who would be named later to the LA Kings in trade for Stephen Rhine prek and Rob Blake Blake had an incredible and immediate impact on Colorado's back and that right shot that crazy hip control that would basically blow the Indian backwards, he scored 19 points in 23 games and Colorado won the 2001 Stanley Cup the player who will be named later ended up going to the Kings by the way was Jared Olin and the first from 2001 ended up being David Steckel and the first from 2003 ended up being Brian Boyle or as it is pronounced in Colorado doesn't I don't care, we won the Cup in Colorado, I went back to Matt.
I didn't even know he was that good, 46 points in 67 games, 51 in 77 and then I found out about this after Ryan prex in Colorado, the tree goes on. packaged with Rhett Warner and sent to the Buffalo Sabers in exchange for Keith Ballard raise your hand if you don't remember him being on the Buffalo Sabres. I don't remember him, I don't remember him with the Colorado Avalanche. I remember him from the Canucks and that time he hit Thomasville in the head, oh this might have something to do with it. Keith Ballard never played for the Buffalo Sabers or the Colorado Avalanche, he was the 11th pick in 2002 and no one wanted him or everyone did, it depends on Mira, Keith Ballard was packaged with Derek Morris and sent to the then Phoenix Coyotes, while Colorado got Chris Gratton, the Australian Vanhanen, with a second-round pick in 2005.
Chris Gratton was acquired for the 2004 playoffs, but was a bit of a disappointment with just one goal. and two assists three points and 13 games before the playoffs and then in the playoffs 0 points in 11 games ah Steve Anand and he scored a total of 12 points in his three seasons with the Colorado Avalanche but he played in 139 games and was a defenseman, that it was his job, leave it to the other guys, what was Sakic and Forsberg's name, yes they can score for the ABS, well yes he has some value in that second in 2005, they got 458 points of production in 538 games in Paul Stastny.
So if you felt bad about giving up those two first-rounders that you shouldn't have because you got Rob Blake and won the Cup with them, you made up for it, you got Paul Stastny for over 500 games, then the Avalanche didn't trade any of those . three so that part of the trade tree that particular branch ends up going to Mike Ricci (he was packaged with a second-round pick in 1998 and sent to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Shaun Donovan and a first-round pick in 1998). The Sharks ended up moving that second-round pick in the first round, although the Avalanche held onto it for a while, oh my god, I did.They did so amazing on this teal map.
I'll give you a hint that he finished fifth and Calder voted. 2000 here's another clue he was a forward here's another clue he was with the Avalanche twice scored 27 goals, 50 assists for 77 points in 82 games his second year when the Avalanche won the Stanley Cup in 2001. I'm talking, of course, by Alex Tonga seriously. Four hundred and eighty-eight points in 598 games as a member of the Colorado Avalanche 50 points in 83 playoff games with the Avalanche, we're talking about the building blocks of this team Sakic Forsberg Adam Dead Marshes, a guy I always picture in my head as Adam Avalanche Alex Tonga is I have to be there, I mean also Patrick the Mulana, hey Duke, they did an amazing job of basically keeping a dynasty together and then people argue about the use of the term dynasty, it's supposed to mean you all won five

cups

in a row, it's OK?
You are a very good seed, but in addition to the almost 600 games, there are more than 600 games if you include the playoffs. Alex Tong provided even more value when he was traded. Avalanche traded gay Alex Tong to the Calgary Flames for 3 pieces. Jordan Leopold, a defender. a second round pick in 2006 and a second round pick in 2007. I'll disappoint you with those two second round picks cody Berkey Trevor neither of them ended up playing in the NHL played one hundred and twenty two games as a member of the Colorado Avalanche and what is it like this for value, ABS traded Alex Tong gay for three pieces and one of them was Jordan Leopold, Avalanche then traded Leopold back to the Calgary Flames for three pieces, one of them was defenseman Ryan Wilson who they got. 230 games from Laurence Nicollet, who got five games out of Honey, can't win them all and a second-round pick in 2009 that the Avalanche used to select Stefan Elliot Elliot played 63 games.
Great things were expected of him, but he didn't do it. he worked out quite a bit, he was traded for Brandon Gormley, a defenseman, played 26 games with the Avalanche again, another highly touted prospect that just didn't quite work out and the microphone reaching the tree branch is finally ready. The next one is going to take a while. Steve to Chesney and Dennis Chassez, that's how I'll tell you and I'm sorry in advance, we were traded on January 23, 1994 to st. Louis Blues in exchange for Bob moving on to butcher Garth and Ron Sutter and I keep making this mistake, he was never in the Avalanche.he was in the Quebec Nordiques this was in 1994 even before the team was in Colorado Bob Bassett and he played 84 games with the organization, he didn't spend much time on Garth Butcher, who we'll come back to because he's tied to our next branch like well, somehow, and then there's Ron Sutter, who's tied to a very interesting piece of Colorado history Avalanche after the trade in 93 94.
Sutter was good for the Avalanche, scoring 22 points in 37 games, veteran presence and all that, at that point he was already in his career of almost 1100 games in the NHL, but shortly after a interesting trade on June 28, 1994, Ron Sutter was packaged with a first round pick in 94 and sent to the New York Islanders for his team and a first round pick in 1994, here's the fun part with the ninth overall pick, the New York Islanders draft Brett Lindros, that's right, Eric's brother Brett was a top 10 pick and basically the Norse traded Lindros twice or you could say at one point in history they had the first round to pick both Lindh.
Ross and neither of them played a game for them. His team is not the biggest name born in Cologne. The group from Germany was an 11th round pick of the Buffalo Sabers in 1983. I didn't even know they had an 11th round pick in the 95-96 season. the group only played in six regular season games the playoffs came he is a star he plays in 22 games four goals 12 assists for 16 points in the playoffs as a defender and it is probably worth mentioning that one of the four goals the group scored in the Cup 1996 Stanley Playoffs were in the Stanley Cup Final against the Florida Panthers and they won the Avalanche Cup.
I said I meant literally that he won the Cup in overtime. He lived every child's dream and I think they spelled his name right. I really like Dad, so that's the first round pick the Avalanche got in this deal. They remembered that they gave up the ninth overall pick with the 12th overall pick. They drafted Wade Belak in the backfield. Wade Bellick wasn't exactly known for scoring points. He was known for being completely out of gum, he played in 549 NHL games and recorded 1,263 penalty minutes and played in parts of three seasons with the Colorado Avalanche before coaching.
Wade Belak was included with Renaye Corbeille as a second round pick in 2000 and future considerations, that was the package sent to the Calgary Flames on February 28, 1999 to get Chris Dingman and get a feel for Fleury. Sometimes that little deal is forgotten in Colorado Avalanche history, but it was a big deal after all, the Avalanche didn't win the 1999 Stanley Cup, but it wasn't because of rumors about a tackle in just 15 regular season games with the Avalanche burst scored ten goals 14 assists for 24 points in the playoffs five goals 12 assists 17 points in 18 Kings brought him to Colorado Chris Dingman did not provide the same scoring touch, but he stayed in Colorado for much longer, one hundred and ten games , almost 250 penalty minutes, provided some grunt.
Dingman was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes for a 2001 fifth-round pick that was used to select Mica. V Tannen and he never made it to the NHL and because he never made it to the NHL that ranch is done for now, you may remember there were future considerations in that deal with Calgary and we have to come back to this being the last but the most long. the 1994 first round pick that the Nordiques acquired from the Flyers that 1994 first round pick was never used by the Nordiques organization was packaged along with Garth Butcher, a guy you may have heard of named Mats Sundin and Todd Warner, that package was sent to the Toronto Maple Leafs on June 28, 1994 in exchange for when Clark Landon Wilson Silvia LaFave and another first round pick in 1994 now this entire trade tree has just been Quebec winds Colorado winds Colorado winds Coloradoans Quebec wins de new Colorado wins for the Quebec Nordiques This trade with the Leafs soaked Mats Sundin scored 420 goals with the Toronto Maple Leafs, on top of that, 567 assists for 987 points with the Leafs alone and that of course being in 981 games, I'm I'm sure the comments section will let me know how many drinks. he won, but I feel like if you acquired your franchise's all-time leading scorer, you could have won that trade.
The first round 94 that Quebec abandoned became Nolan Baumgardner. The first round 94 they got. Jeff Keatley never played a game. the NHL, so through a favor I was on the '96 cup team, so that was good. Landon Wilson only played 16 games with the organization, but then they traded him. Landon Wilson was packaged with Anders Myhrvold and sent to the Boston Bruins for a first round pick in 1998. Here's why that's noteworthy with the 19th overall pick in 1998, the year Robin Rigg was selected by the Colorado Avalanche and you could say WOW Robin Rigg here was a member of the Colorado Avalanche, we know we have to go back to the previous branch Robin Rigg ear ended up being the Future considerations sent to the Calgary Flames in exchange for Theron burst, which is crazy by today's standards because future considerations usually mean literally nothing, a conditional seventh or something, but in the '90s, future considerations meant a top 20 draft pick, so there's a chance. for the Nordiques Avalanche organization to get a win in all of this and they had to give up Wendel Clark, you're their last hope, 30 points in 37 games, but then they traded him, but the devil is in the details, isn't it Wendel?
Clark was part of a three-way deal, he only played with the Quebec Nordiques, never with the Avalanche. The three teams in the deal were the Colorado Avalanche, the New York Islanders and the New Jersey Devils, to hell with it. Steve Thomas, hey chubby, there's a feisty high. -New York Islanders-bound scoring forward Wendel Clark. I can still picture him wearing those old Highliner captain jerseys and going to the Colorado Avalanche in this three-way deal. Claude Lemieux. This was an absolutely wild win for the Colorado Avalanche in their first season. existence Lemieux had just won the 1995 Stanley Cup with the New Jersey Devils and was also the Conn Smythe winner for playoff MVP, if that wasn't enough, he scored 71 points in the 95-96 season the first season of Avalanche.
They were in Colorado and 39 of those points were goals. You could say he was a factor with the Avalanche in the next season's playoffs with 12 points in 19 games, but we don't remember that, do we remember this hit from behind on Kris Draper? in the Western Conference finals is a blow from behind that sparks the bloody feud between the Avalanche and Red Wings really kicks off their rivalry and in some ways sparked the Red Wings dynasty of the late 90s and early 2000s full disclosure Kris Draper was to my elementary school school like years before me and we had the same second grade teacher when he was hit from behind and he was in the hospital he was recovering my second grade class I wrote him letters in my letter I called Claude Lemieux Claude Lemieux because Claude no I don't know, it sounded like an insult.
He was seven years old when he was a child. Steve doesn't hold back, but after four two-bit seasons, Claude Lemieux's reign of terror with the Avalanche in Colorado ended and he was actually returned to the Demons, it's actually a pretty big deal Claude Lemieux a first go-round in 2000 and a conditional second in 2000 were sent to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for Brian Ralston and a first round in 2000 the conditions of the second round were met and the first round players were basically traded, the Devils got the 22nd pick that the Avalanche got the 27 those picks didn't end up being great for New Jersey the second round was Matt De Marchi didn't play in the NHL David Hale stayed in New Jersey for a while but the Avalanche's first rounder didn't stay, they didn't stay with Ralston either. because we have another trade, it's the final trade in this tree and it's huge, the Colorado Avalanche took Bryan Ralston and the first round pick they got with New Jersey packaged. them with Samuel Paulsen and Martin Grenier and traded them to the Boston Bruins.
I think you know where I'm going. She and Dave are acquired by the Colorado Avalanche. Chuck and Ray Bourque know and ER. Chuck left as a free agent in the summer of 2000 to go to Buffalo, which I'm sure he regretted until he won the Stanley Cup with the Tampa Bay Lightning Ray Bourque, even in his forties, was an amazing back 73 points in 94 regular season games with the Avalanche, most importantly, 19 points in 34 playoff games. with the Avalanche and, most important of all, in 2001, take it away, that doesn't make you cry, you're not human, so that's Eric Lindros' trade tree and the deal, quite literally, led directly to two Stanley Cups for Colorado Avalanche and looking in the tree, I'm surprised it didn't lead to more, it led directly to Patrick Wong, who is a part of both Cup winning teams.
Alex Tonga is there. Adam dead. Marsh. Rob Blake was loosely affiliated. We have Ray Bourque there. I'm. I'm sure you all know that the producer drew with this YouTube channel, he's a huge Colorado Avalanche fan and every time we gave him a new detail for this trade tree, he just laughed until he was finally like me, we built a dynasty out of of this trade, considering that In the first group of names I mentioned, I forgot to say Peter Forsberg, yes, I tied, I would say yes, but if Eric Lindros is to be blamed here, no, it was the Flyers who gave up more than eight assets, including a player they just selected sixth overall and fifteen million dollars.
Cash, not him, and he held up his end of the deal, he was their captain, he was their leader, he was their best player, he won the Hart Trophy as league MVP, he took them to the Stanley Cup Final and he had a career in the Hall of Fame, what else can he do? Do you want me to do looking at this commercial tree the biggest crime that Eric Lindros commits is that he is just one person the Quebec Nordiques and much later the Colorado Avalanche organization did a masterful job with this trade specifically from 95 to 2006 Pierre Lacroix did an unreal job. with the team and it should come as no surprise that Joe Sakic took one look at Matt Duchene's deal and said yeah, what if I get a lot of stuff and enough fun stuff?
So far it has worked. I guess he was paying attention to the press box. when I was on the ice winning

cups
