Flaming @HabsFanFromOntario for his trades is one of my favorite hobbies! That being said, if we're looking at his *recent* trades, there's one in particular that stands out as perhaps the biggest price tag ever paid for a single player. On April 29th, a long and controversial process came to a conclusion, with Edmonton acquiring Alvin Wong from the Toronto North Stars. The cost? See for yourself:
To Blizzard Alvin Wong To Stars 72 WPG 1st 73 WPG 1st 75 EDM 1st 73 NOLA 2nd 72 EDM 3rd 73 MTL 3rd 73 EDM 3rd 75 EDM 3rd 73 EDM 4th Shipping off quite literally every pick left in the cupboard, HFFO made a statement and brought in a co-GM after seasons of churn at the position. From a value standpoint, was this trade a good idea? Of course not, no player is worth three 1st round picks, and that doesn't even include the picks taken in the tampering punishment that went with it! The value isn't what makes this the worst Blizzard trade, though. Since taking over as our co-GM, @Eggcracker has become a vicious tyrant, whipping us weekly to do our tasks and ruling with an iron fist. These are dark times in Edmonton, and we can only pray that someday HFFO puts down his controller and stops playing Diablo long enough to notice how badly we need him back. |
