I will be looking at the key trades from the first 10 seasons of the leagues existence. On top of this I will also look at my favorite trades from my times as a GM for the Platoon and Chiefs. For the purposes of this article, a season is defined as from draft to draft.


Season 1:

  Trade: 1st overall in the S1 Draft (Ryan Jesster)
  Trade: 4th overall (Jay McDonald) and a second round pick in season 1 (Pavol Skvoznak)

Analysis: What a giant moment in SHL history with the Jets trading the first overall pick in the inaugural season. Leafs4Ever has spoken on this before with the logic being that everyone in the first season is starting with the same amount of training, so why not add more assets to have a deeper team. In the long run the Dragons got the first true franchise goalie in Jesster, who played 12 seasons, winning 2 Cups, 3 Khans and a Razov with the Dragons. In the short term however, Leafs gamble paid off. McDonald was the best player in the league right off the bat and he, along with Skvoznak, helped the Jets win the first ever Challenge Cup. An epic trade that helped both teams in completely different ways.

  Trade: Pekka Jarmutth, Harvey Singh, Conditional 3rd, WPG S3 4th round pick.
  Trade: Ron Mexico and Castiel Lee

Analysis: Look, there is a reason why Leafs is considered one of the greatest GMs ever and trades like this illuminate that fact. At the time of the trade it was seen more so as Castiel Lee as the big piece and Mexico as a secondary throw in. Mexico was a non-factor in the first Cup for the Jets, but after that he became the Jets best player ever and perhaps the greatest player in SHL history. Mexico lead the league is Goals 4 times, took home four MVPs and added a second Cup with the Jets before finishing his 11 year career. Everything else in this trade were non factors overall.

  Trade: Eliseo Zamora
  Trade: Riley Raycroft, S2 1st round pick (Patrick Perry), S2 3rd round pick (Taldon Shepard), Tor S3 1st.

Analysis: Eliseo Zamora was definitely seen as a building block at the time this move was made as he was selected 3rd overall in the S1 draft, but after this trade he never truly panned out. Zamora lasted just 5 seasons in the league amassing 187 points in 253 games and no real success to show for it. Meanwhile, the pieces that the Hawks picked up were fantastic. Riley Raycroft amassed over 500 points in his career and received two MVP nominations. Patrick Perry would be a trade piece but his value was great nonetheless and Taldon Shephard was a beloved player in Hamilton contributing over 100 points as a defensive minded player. This trade is most likely the first real fleecing by a GM in the league.

  Trade: S2 1st (Mikey Broomfield), 2nd round Comp pick (Richard Metcalf) and S2 6th (Kato Baron)
  Trade: S2 1st (Brandon Holmes)

Analysis: Mikey Broomfield and Richard Metcalf were key pieces for Edmonton, helping them win back to back titles in S3 and S4. However, Brandon Holmes is so much better than anything here that it probably still haunted the Comets head office. Holmes was the second inductee into the SHL Hall of Fame in Season 7. He lead his team to two Cups and received two Mexico nominations in his short career. This is a trade that at the time helped everyone but had the Comets drafted Holmes, they may have had many more cups in that early time.

  Trade: S2 2nd Round Pick (Ron Bolt)
  Trade: Nick Hampton

Analysis: Nick Hampton became nothing in this league and forgotten quickly. That 2nd round pick by the Hawks ended up being Ron Bolt, a legend in this league. Bolt became GM/Player shortly after arriving. He made 5 All Star game appearances and took home 3 Challenge Cups along the way. A trade that looked like nothing at the time but became a huge building block for the Hawks.


SEASON 2:

  Trade: Kelly Kane and Joe Momma
  Trade: Pavol Skvoznak

Analysis: As you keep going along the years you see trades from earlier have an effect on trades later in history, This is one of those as one of the picks the Jets got in exchange for the first ever pick, ends up with the team the pick came from. Kelly Kane was out of the league almost immediately and while Joe Momma had a long and decent career, Skvoznak was one of the true superstars early on, finishing 1st in his draft class in points. Skvoznak also took home 2 cups and would be a key piece in a later trade on this list for Calgary that illustrates their fantastic asset management.

  Trade: Dorian Greiser, Taylor Stach, Alexander Cattermole and WKP S4 1st (Traded to Calgary)
Trade: S3 1st (Abdullah Muhammed-Jabir), Tor S3 3rd (Glenn Boyce) and 7th Rd Comp (Adam Scharf)

Analysis: Cattermole is probably the best player that the Wolves received in this trade and he was quickly moved to Edmonton. Realistically speaking, the Wolves crapped the bed on this trade as that S3 1st ended up being the first overall pick in the Draft which West Kendall used on Jabir. Jabir played 10 seasons in the league and was a key cog on the back end for the Platoon as they took home the Season 5 Challenge Cup. This is one of the many trades that sunk Vancouver.

  Trade: Man S3 1st (Raymond Lindsay), WKP S3 3rd (Damien Walec) and 1.5m in Cash
  Trade: CGY S3 1st (Ideen Fallah) and WPG S3 4th (James Sullivan)

Analysis: This is a trade that at the time looked good on both sides, but quickly became a win for Hamilton. WKP wanted Fallah and Hamilton wanted Lindsay in the draft and they made a deal to make that all work. Fallah played Fallah played just 2 seasons with the Platoon before moving on to become GM of the expansion LA Panthers. Lindsay went on to play his entire 13 year career with the Hawks finishing with 427 points in 584 games and helping to lead the Hawks to a Challenge Cup title in Season 11. Damien Walec also proved to be a key piece as he was eventually moved in a blockbuster trade that may show up later.


Season 3:

  Trade: Damien Walec, Alec Moose, Ham S4 1st (Kody Klute), Van S4 1st (Jack Crasher)
Trade: Scott Stevens, Jon Maxfield and Joe Duncombe

Analysis: Vancouver's streak of terrible trades continue. Scott Stevens is a Hall of Famer with 2 cups and 2 Best DMan awards (5 other nominations) while Maxfield and Duncombe both amassed over 300 games each in their careers. Walec lasted two seasons in the league with 5 points to show for it. Moose played 5 seasons and finished with 24 points. Kody Klute was a career journeyman, finishing with 34 points in over 300 games and Jack Crasher played just 3 seasons and is considered a true bust in this league. Even if Stevens, Maxfield and Duncombe moved around the league a bit, their value alone makes this arguably one of the worst trades ever.

  RECEIVE: Gianni Ciddio and Alexander Beketov
  RECEIVE: Jeff Dar, Jeremy Proulx and Jack Brooks
RECEIVE: Brian Burke, Dylan Kearns Jr and Tor S4 1st (Michael Abdalla)

Analysis: Another one of those weird value trades with the Rage being at the bottom for this one. Abdalla only played 4 seasons but put up 163 points in 178 games in that span, while Kearns Jr and Burke producing sparingly. Jeff Dar would go on to become one of the best Two-Way forwards this league has ever seen and Proulx and Brooks were good depth guys. The Rage however received a head case in Ciddio who performed well on the ice (154 points in 248 games) but was hated off the ice and would soon find himself in West Kendall.

Season 4:

  Trade: Andrew James, Jordan Okalik, S5 1st (Robert Spezza), S6 3rd (Trent Stone)
  Trade: Pavol Skvoznak

Analysis: The lone trade of note from this season sees Skovznak make another appearance on this list being traded to Edmonton during Season 4. Skvoznak was a key player on the 2nd line with Joshua Bothelo, helping the Comets win their second straight cup while also providing 16 points in 12 games in the regular season. On the Dragons end, nothing of note really happened. Okalik provided depth minutes for a team that won the Cup and S8 while Andrew James lasted a season in the red and black. The key piece that the Dragons got (Robert Spezza), would become a legend after leaving Calgary.

Season 5:

  RECEIVE: Daniel Malenfant
RECEIVE: WKP 2nd round pick (Thomas Duddy)
  RECEIVE: MAN S5 3rd round pick (Patrick Pelletier)

Analysis: A non-descript trade at the time paid of dividends for one team. Malenfant was serviceable finishing with 96 points in 140 games for a weak Manhattan team. Pelletier was a good defensive Dman in his two seasons including 64 blocks in year 2. The real star of the trade ended up being Duddy. Duddy played all 11 seasons with the Van/LVK/SEA franchise, amassing 437 points in 559 games becoming one of the first true leaders of the Franchise and providing much needed stability for that team.

Season 6:

  Trade: S7 1st (Elias Armia)
  Trade: Dougie Brind'amour and an S7 1st (Anton Wagner)

Analysis: The Seth era of Edmonton was very hit or miss, but this is a trade where the assets were used to select a home run. Wagner and Brindamour both lasted just a single season with Hamilton and were non factors while they were there. Armia on the other hand, played 3 great seasons finishing with 128 points in 150 games for the Comets before going off and starting his own franchise.

Trade: Brandon Sawyer
Trade: S7 3rd round pick and 500k cash.

Analysis: Eventually Vancouver would figure out how to manage assets but it was not the case here as the third became nothing of note and 500k is forgettable. Sawyer on the other hand, was legendary for the upstart Chiefs. Sawyer would win 226 games with Chiefs and stood on his head to help the Chiefs win 2 Cups and was rewarded for his play with two playoff MVPs. Quite a lot of success for 500k.


Season 7:

  Trade: Sarmad Khan, Mike Ochocinco and WKP S9 2nd
  Trade: Jed Mosley and S9 4th

Analysis: A trade that helped signal a new beginning in West Kendall history takes place here as franchise legend Sarmad Khan moves to the West Coast. Khan would go on to play 3 seasons with the Panthers, racking up 118 points in 150 games including a 52 point campaign. Ochocinco played one season and wouldn't find success until much later on. Mosley arrived in West Kendall and was moved to defence to better suit his skills. Mosley played 3 seasons in West Kendall in which he was nominated twice for Top Dman, taking home the honours once after a 34 goal campaign. Mosley wrapped up his time in West Kendall with 133 points in 149 games including an astounding 67 point season. An overall great trade for both sides.


Season 8:

Trade: S9 2nd (Julien Marshall)
  Trade: Chris Mc-Zehrl

Analysis: Most of the trades for Season 8 are going to feature the Platoon for better or for worse and it is the latter in this case. McZehrl was toiling away at the bottom of the depth chart while also being a head case. Most of the Platoon got tired of him and decided that moving him was a good thing because he wasn't looking like he was going to be much anyways. They sent him to LVK for a 2nd round pick which turned out to be Julien Marshall, who was good but was also dealt very early on by the Platoon. Everyone knows what happened with Chris. He became one of the best players the league has ever seen on the ice and became so good that it didn't really matter how he handled himself off the ice. Great value here by Vegas.

  Trade: Claudio Krejci
  Trade: Man S9 1st (Willie Weber) and Taylor McDavid

Analysis: This is arguably the worst trade in the first 10 seasons of the league with the Platoon giving up way too much at the deadline to try and make a run at the cup. Krejci was solid with the Platoon helping them in the regular season but ultimately no cup to show for it. Winnipeg selected Willie Weber who played 6 solid seasons with Jets becoming a focal point on their back end. McDavid was an afterthought at the time but became one of the best players ever. He lasted 6 full seasons in Winnipeg as well, scoring a career high 32 goals and 71 points in 50 games in Season 11. This trade shows that while you have to pay to compete, there should be a limit to what you move for a rental.

  Trade: SEA S9 2nd (Taylor Nugent-Eberle), SEA S9 3rd (Julien Marshall) and a TOR S9 4th (Valgard Val Jean)
  Trade: Robert Spezza

Analysis: We cap off the trio of Platoon trades on a bright note as this is an example of getting as much value as you can for a players rights. At the time Robert Spezza had told management he did not plan on re-signing the with the team and to attempt to find a trade out there. The Platoon put the feelers out and Toronto offered a good enough package for the up and coming forward. Spezza as we know became a major star, playing 5 seasons in Toronto where he had back to back to back seasons of 78, 86, and 79 points, to lead the league. While that stings for Platoon fans, their GM core were able to grab Julien Marshall in the 3rd round and he became an absolute steal. Marshall played 11 seasons with the Platoon becoming the face of the franchise. In those 11 years he put up 200 goals and 436 points in 538 games. A great trade for both sides.

Season 9:

  Trade: Julien Dupont, Sam Slade, Kurtis Hunter and MIN S11 2nd (Traded)
  Trade: Lucas Smith, Braeden Carlzner, Josh Hockridge, EDM S10 1st (John Langabeer) and a LAP S10 2nd (Traded)

Analysis: This is a candidate for best trade of the first 10 seasons as Edmonton helped build their core on this trade a lone. One of the lone highlights during the Seth era, Edmonton moved out three guys who really did nothing with their time in Calgary (most lasted less than three years) for 3 guys with potential and a 1st round pick. Hockridge lasted just 6 games in Edmonton and moved on the Los Angeles the following season. Carlzner played parts of 5 seasons for Edmonton, providing depth on their back line and helping Edmonton to a title in Season 13. Langabeer played 7 seasons with the club, winning 3 cups and had a career high 46 points in Season 11. The hero of this trade is Lucas Smith. Smith was a captain for the club and is considered one of the best to ever play for the team. Smith played in parts of all 14 seasons of his career here, amassing over 600 games played and nearly 500 points. This trade shows that you can build a dynasty through trade.

  Trade: Benjamin Wong
  Trade: Danielle Hogan, S9 4th and S10 3rd (Emily Holmes)

Analysis: This trade is great for two reasons. On the ice it worked out good for both teams, West Kendall on the short term and Toronto in the long run. Hogan came in to West Kendall and played 5 seasons. In her first 3 years she put up 77, 56 and 61 points respectively and nearly scored 40 goals in a single season. Wong was also amazing. He played 9 seasons in Toronto with a three year peak of 66, 79 and 75 points. Neither team won a cup in this time which makes this trade a relative draft.

The second reason though is off the ice. Without this trade, we may not have had a couple form. Jon Maxfield and Danielle Hogan hit it off in their time on the same team and are now married with a child which makes this one of the coolest trades ever in my opinion.


Season 10:

  Trade: Mark Malyckyj, Dominic Turcotte, LAP S11 1st (Roman Schultz), and TOR S12 2nd (Traded)
  Trade: Darian Scherbluk

Analysis: Yikes. The return the Hawks got for one of the greatest to ever lace them up, was lukewarm at best. Mark played 1 season and scored 14 points while Turcotte didn't play any. Roman Schultz was picked 5th overall by Hamilton and played his entire 10 year career with the Steelhawks, amassing 285 points in 489 games on the back end. Good numbers.....but not Scherbluk numbers. Minus a two season pitstop in Manhattan, Scherbluk played 17 seasons in Toronto, an astounding number in this league, especially at the time. In that time, Darian have 640 points in almost 1000 games in the hockey capital of the world. Looking back, I am sure Hamilton wishes they had gotten a lot more....or just never made the deal to begin with.



Now for some of my favourite trades not mentioned above:

Trade: S24 2nd (Traded), S25 2nd (Traded), Chance Winston and Aboud Chamas
  Trade: Dymo Ranjan and Jarkko Kallestrom

Analysis: I was a big believer (and still am) that you trade potentials for guarantees, especially in a championship window which was the case here. The two 2nd rounders I could do without when getting SHL ready guys. Ranjan backed the Chiefs to two consecutive winning seasons (rare before I got there), including a 28-14 record. Kallestrom would play 4 seasons in Minny, putting up 137 points in 171 games which I consider great value.

Trade: Jorma Ruutu, S22 1st (Mariusz Kwik) and S23 2nd (Traded)
  Trade: Jackson Hauke, S22 1st (Chernika Banananov), S22 2nd (Traded)

Analysis: This was close to draft day and the person I wanted was going to go later than the pick I had. I also had Ruutu, who has and seemingly always will be a tough guy to deal with. This trade came along and I took it without question. Ruutu had a great career but we were happy to have him out of the locker room. Kwik wound up being a bust scoring 60 points in 256 games in LA before being shipped to Buffalo. On my side, I got Banananov who became one of the best ever. She played 11 seasons in Minnesota, putting up 498 points in that time. Hauke was also good while he was here adding 64 points over 2 seasons.

Trade: Alexander Kjaerberg, Min S23 1st (Michael Boychuk)
  Trade: Niklas Stryker, S24 2nd (Winston Windsor)

Analysis: I moved AK because he was a diva before proving himself. He constantly complained about ice time when we had players better than him above him. I honestly got fed up and moved him before his NTC kicked in which created waves. I moved him primarily for Stryker who was also seen as a bad locker room guy. His time here was great and I would do this trade every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Kjaerberg would play just 18 games in Calgary before fizzling out while Boychuk became a star. He played over 1000 games with the Dragons and have 558 points in that time. On my side, Stryker was as advertised on the ice, putting up 116 points in 121 games as we chased the cup. Windsor was no slouch either in his short time here having amassed 69 points in 100 games as a young defender.

Very cool.
