Being an Oilers fan, there are so...so many to choose from. That is the unfortunate truth about being in the furthest north NHL city. Star players do not want to play here and when we do get a star player through the draft or a trade we typically see them move on because we can't afford to keep them. I know a lot of people who would see I am an Oilers fan would instantly assume the worst trade would be the Gretzky trade, and to a degree you are right. I was around when that trade happened. But for me the worst trade would be the first and second round picks for Griffen Reinhart. It was a franchise altering off season as we could have had an amazing future. Instead of an all world talent Matt Brazal, which we could have drafted in the first round, we picked up a defender that did not show any signs of becoming a future NHLer further slowing the rebuild. That one hurt. I can't help but look back and wonder how much further a head the Oilers would have been at that point if they never pulled the trigger on such a ridiculous trade.
