Redden was a very good defender. Obviously not Chara talent wise but still very good. And when he was traded he looked like a gizel on skates so there is that too

Bishop Conacher was a coin toss nobody woulda expected him to go full Vezina mode. (And ur certainly not the first team in the last 5 years to make a bad G trade. See WSH,PHI.). At the same time no one expected Conacher to just stop producing like.instantly.

Lee was a bad call but Diagle was worse sooo lol.

Hossa i believe was budget and Heatly was a great player back then and still signed.

I believe he was a AHL coach

Wasn't old enough to remember the Daigle pick.

Heatly was still good back then, but budget or not...hossa is better lol Damn salary cap.

He did nothing in Binghamton, from what I remember.

I feel like Redden was nearing his career. No way he was better than Chara at the time of the signings. Not even debateable, in my opinion.

If conacher actually worked out, I would've been willing to eat my words. Never believed in the trade tho. I saw bishop as an NHL-ready goalie at the time of the trade.
