WRITTEN TASK: Tell me about the worst trade your team has ever made. This can be your SHL team, or any professional hockey team you cheer for in real life. If you choose your SHL team, please don't use this to flame your GM - they're doing their best!

Let me tell you about my GM....just kidding! He's great! I would be more than happy to discuss the disaster that is my Vancouver Canucks though. Has anyone ever seen a team consistently make soooo many bad trades. I can't even blame it on any 1 GM because it seems like every team through the ages has absolutely fleeced us at least once. Jim Benning was the latest train wreck and the current management regime hasn't convinced me that they can make deals that will overall positively change this team. I guess that last disaster would be the much talked about buyout of Oliver Ekman-Larsson. Why in god green earth would we trade for a player with such an albatross of a contract when the GM was already in hot water and should have rightly lost his job sometime before. That was a big whoopsie daisy by ownership to allow that trade to pass through. Oh god just thinking about it all makes me want to go curl up on the couch. If you'll excuse me.
