It should be noted that part of the reason it took so long for Teemu Selänne to get to the NHL was the fact that he was required to serve in the Finnish military when he turned 18.
Yeah, it is not a good argument. Minimun service time is six months and they have a special ”sport troops” where all the athletes do their service. Everything is easier there, lot of vacations and everything is done sport and training first. Had a brother there, it is easy, I know. Bigger reason was, and I wonder why they didn’t mention it, was that he had a serious injury after his draft year. I think it was his thigh bone that got shattered badly. Too lazy to check what ot was, but it was bad. Also, there were contract dissagreents with Jets and Calgary actually made him offer that Jets then countered.
The Selanne deal also indirectly led to Anaheim acquiring Scott Niedermayer as a free agent, since his brother Rob being on the team was one of the reasons he signed there. 🦆
As a sens fan those names will haunt my nightmares for the rest of my life. 98-2007 they were really, really good but they almost always found a way to choke against the Curtis Joseph led Leafs and Dominick Hasek Sabres. But in spite of that they managed 2 deep playoff runs. In 03 they got to the Conf Championship but got stymied by the defense of the double Scotts in Stevens and Niedermeyer. Then they get past that demon to reach the Stanley Cup only to completely embarrass themselves by running into both Niedermeyers against the Ducks.
@@rockstermaniac just like Hillary Clinton has nightmares about the 2016 Election where everyone said Hillary was a 99.999% percent favorite to win it all.
Selanne was my favorite player growing up. He's still my favorite player. I was so happy when he finally got to hold the cup, I just wish Kariya was there with him.
Selanne Kariya, was like Fedorov Yzerman, or Sakic Forsberg. Legendary duo. Mario Jaromir... imagine the number of cups they would have had is Mario didn't have cancer and back and knee problems. MARIO LEMIEUX : 1st shift in the NHL, 1st goal. Anybody else major did that?
I can't find it, but there actually was a promo video that was shot, where Teemu said something like, "Hey Phoenix! This is Teemu Selanne. We're coming next year!"
As I recall, Selanne was considered by many as the top player in his draft year, but fell because of his (lack of) availability to play in North America…he had to perform military service in Finland. I also seem to recall that Winnipeg was forced into a trade choice…between resigning and keeping either Selanne or Keith Tkachuk. I think that’s how it played out.
i never met Selanne seems like a nice guy. I was at one of the finals games in Ottawa. I saw a group if 8 people in Finland team jerseys. I realized that they were all speaking Finish. I got chatting with them and found they were Selanne's teenage friends. They told me that if Selanne ever made the Stanley Cup finals he would fly them over at his expense. And he came though.
The language IS spelled FINNISH ! There IS a Difference - between Finnish LINE vs Finish LINE ! As Finnish baseball to just Finish baseball ! Our NATIONAL GAME - PESAPALLO !
@@holoholopainen1627 Yeah I know. I just didn't proof my message closely enough before I posted. Anteeksi. And if that's wrong blame google translate. i
How happy I am seeing this trade tree. I grew up watching selanne and kariya playing. This shows how great an expansion team can be if they build with the right pieces. Also can we just appreciate how great of a guy selanne is. And Steve they were the mighty ducks of Anaheim
Selanne was a beast! Nice video! Just some feedback, the sound effects in the chart tree are way louder than your voice, difficult to hear/focus on what you are saying when they come in.
I wanna see the Antoine Vermette trade tree that saw him go from Ottawa to CBJ, to PHX/ARI and then out to CHI. Which directly led to Columbus acquiring bobrovsky, and helped the Yotes get to the conference final for the last time before the landslide. Also got Ottawa Robin Lehner and Colin White.
I have an interesting concept for you. Go back to the 2017 expansion draft & examine all of the trades VGK made & compare who they got vs who the teams they traded with got to protect.
When I was first getting into hockey I would look up players as a heard of them. I couldn’t believe he scored 76 GOALS his rookie year. Literally I checked multiple sources
That was a great video! I just wish you would have finished the trade tree with Teemu going to SJ and also COL and then coming out of retirement to join the Ducks again.
He didn't come out of retirement to join the ducks. He just signed a FA, his contract with Colorado expired and he then signed with Anaheim once he could.
When Selänne was playing in COL he was bad knee injury. After season he think stop playing. But after knee operation he start thinking playing again. That how he come back Anaheim.
Selanne was thinking of retiring after the year in Colorado. Lucky for him there was a lockout after that and he had time to get surgery on his knee and rehab it to 100% and after that decided to keep on playing and he only wanted to play in Anaheim. That's why he took a huge pay cut and signed for 1 mil.
Love how the Ducks have done well over the years, their scouting has made it possible. Teemu Selanne is an amazing talent and my personal favorite player. Go Ducks.
I mainly remember Teverdosky as that "Pretty Good 80-83 rated Defensemen in Free Agency available at the start of Franchise Mode" from pretty much every NHL Game in the early to mid 2000s.
Thank you for this video. I did indeed think of checking how much longer to the video there was when you mentioned it lol. Take care and looking forward to the next trade tree!
The story of Marian Gaborik trades in the NHL is insane with how many teams he played for. Rangers got a haul for Gaborik but then lost to him in the 2014 final.
First time watching a Trade Tree video - absolutely loved it!! Great job taking us through history and visually explaining the ripple effect that one risky trade can make
woooow! ok i finished this....as of now the Lindros trade tree has been my favorite...but, and maybe I'm biased, this is my new favorite! the fact that this trade got us Selanne, Rob Niedermayer (which in turn got us Scotty as that is why Scotty signed here), and Corey Perry?! ....that's insane!
Teemu Selanne. The man along with Kariya that got me into hockey and the Ducks. I was 5 when this trade happened. And all these names are just a blast to a past even though I didn’t even hit 10 and I knew these names. Knowing this trade very well, including that trade that sent him to the Sharks, I knew this video will be longer. And yes I knew Oleg played with the Ducks a couple times lol The only thing I took from this is THE FACT WE GOT PERRY FROM THIS VERY TRADE.
Love the video! Trade Trees are always fun; just some feedback: the buzzing when the names pop up is significantly louder than you so it drowns you out.
Went to MANY Ducks home games during Teemu's first run with the Ducks when he was on the same line with Paul Kariya... the two of them were definitely fun to watch... but the team relied almost exclusively on them for scoring and didn't have much else, and when games got BAD, I remember my father and I electing to leave sometimes during the second period... I was also there when he raised the Cup, and was also there for his last home playoff game when the Kings saluted him off the ice.
A big "What Could Have Been" with regards to Selanne that sticks in my Flames fan mind is that in the summer of 1992, since he hadn't signed a rookie contract yet, Teemu Selanne became a restricted free agent as per the rules of the time, and so the Calgary Flames, still stinging from the Doug Gilmour trade a half-season prior, signed him to an offer sheet: 3 years, $400k per year, $32k more than the league average back then and more than twice Winnipeg's offer. Obviously the Jets matched it and Selanne went on to have an incredible season and career; and so some of us are left to wonder how Selanne as a Flame would have panned out...
I absolutely love these videos. Keep them coming! Fun fact, a second before you said to check the time on the video, I checked how much time was left on the video lol
My youth was bookended by the (Mighty) Ducks. Watching the Mighty Ducks movies as a small child, learning about the NHL Ducks, not being able to watch their games in my hometown but then catching games on TV during vacations to different parts of SoCal, finding their 2003 playoff games on a random radio station DURING A CARIBBEAN VACATION, and then 2007 happened while I was in high school. Sure, I wish they never rebranded, but I’m glad I got to experience their fairytale ending - even though that was over 15 years ago.
Didn't know about that Perry connection, wow. And thumbs up for mentioning that Niedermayer-Pahlsson-Moen line, these guys were truly incredible during the 07 run.
As maybe a weird musical comparison, Teemu Selanne's NHL career reminds me of that of The Cars: a Hall Of Fame run with a lot of great work done and accomplishments made along the way, but for better and for worse *nothing* will ever top their debut outing.
Hey Steve !! Love your trade trees ! I was waiting for this one for a long time… I do my own trade trees on my free time and you should do the Dale Hawerchuk to Buffalo trade, it’s gonna be a looooong video !! LOL Keep up the good work !
When you think about it, it's because of this trade that Anaheim has three numbers in its rafters right now. Obviously Teemu. But Rob Niedermayer is the reason Scott came to Anaheim, specifically to play with his brother for a few seasons, and he put up numbers for us in his time. But while Kariya had a great first season, Selanne (and Rooch) unlocked him and turned him from great into a HOFer. So yeah, thanks Winniphoenizona. You losing this trade tree is responsible for pretty much all of our success.
Made a note of that one when I looked up this trade back when the series started. He's not really related to the trade tree, but it is a fun little side note.
These are great. I look forward to the new ones each year. The longer the trade tree the better. Any thoughts on doing a Mikael Renberg to Tampa trade?
Red Wings legend Mike Modano is up there with Red Wings legends Brett Hull, Domink Hasek, Danny Alfreedson, Todd Bertuzzi, Luc Robitaille and Brad Richards, among many others. Also, can you do the Adam Oates DET-STL trade?
As a Kings Fan, Teemu practically destroyed the Kings everytime Jets play LA. If my memory serves me right, in one game I think he had 4 goals and 2 assists against Gretzky- led King. The Finnish Flash was awesome.
There is no trade tree in that trade! Oshie was traded for Copley who is the only player in that trade to get traded again and he was traded back to Washington as a throw in with shattenkirk. What “amazing” assets are you referring to that St. Louis got??
@@WaddickLawnCare The ''amazing assets'' are just things that are kind of part of the tree but not really, bc the pieces from the original trade that got retraded were just throw ins that allowed the Blues to get Brayden Schenn and Ryan O'Reilly after a couple more trades So kind of, but not really, just there bc there is a link between assets, but minimal
@@WaddickLawnCare Blues got: - Copley (who was traded along with Shattenkirk), - 2016 3rd (packaged to move up in the 2016 1st round, Blues ended up drafting Tage Thompson) and; - Troy Brouwer (left as UFA) 2 assets were traded, but like I said, just throw ins, so I agree it's not worth its own tree
@@WaddickLawnCare If you look at the paths of the initial picks traded it ends up giving St Louis guys like O'Reilly and Schenn. Just have to do some digging and see what the picks traded ended up becoming. They've also done trade trees in the past where it just stops on one player for a team because the other side is fun to see, and it gives you a new perspective on what initially seems like a slam dunk trade for the Capitals.
Amazing vid! I'm a little sad you don't say the managers name, because the Ducks manager should get some love here. Just remarcable job. Also in one of your previous videos (year ago) flames trading a veteran to the Caps for picks eventually getting Kylington, Lindholm, Hanifin and three seasons of Hamilton. If that was Treliving, this guy is probably top 5 GM in the league, if you consider this years off-season magic......
If you need ideas for a trade tree: December 30, 1997 - Edmonton trades Bonsignore, Bryan Marchment and Steve Kelly to Tampa Bay in exchange for Roman Hamrlík and the rights to Paul Comrie This is how Vincent Lecavalier ended up in Tampa and how they won their first cup. It's also a pretty big trade tree.
Not related to this trade tree, but related to Anaheim's 2007 Cup win, the Ducks drafted Ryan Getzlaf as well as Corey Perry in the first round of the stacked 2003 draft. They combined for 1877 points in 2333 games.
Even though kilger and tverdovsky were top 5 picks, the fact that this trade was 3 for 3 was insane. If this trade happened today it would have been selanne to Anaheim and 2 1st round picks, 2 top prospects, and 1 good roster player to Winnipeg
A curiously interesting (sorta) note on the Coyotes/ Flames trade involving Carney, Freddie Sjostrom played for the Calgary Hitmen of the WHL. Also, I'm a long time Flames fan and I dont remember Carney at all. I do remember Kobasew and Taratukhin. Disappointment all around
The Ducks practically built their 07 cup team through this trade: - Selanne came back in FA after the lockout bc he loved the organization - moved up in 03 to draft Perry - acquired R. Niedermayer, which then got S. Niedermayer to sign in Anaheim bc he wanted to play with his brother and win with him - (smt about Pronger just to put a bow on everything that is this original trade 😁)
Have you ever done the Sedin Trade tree? Yes I'm thinking all the major players in the trade that got VAN the 2nd overall pick. So VAN, CHI, TBL and ATL. 2 real short branches and 2 longer ones
He had a broken knee since the last season with the anaheim, sj/col era was with a broken knee, got it fixed during the lockout and they got back the old goal scorer.
What's even more amazing about Selanne's 76 goal season is that he still only was tied for the league lead. Mogilny also had 76 that season.
outrageous
And mogilny did it in 77 games
And how were they not able to win the Hart.......?! Wait, Mario won with a nice 69 goals, 91 assists, and 160 points? ..........Understandable......
@@M_11_m41n in 60 games no less
If only Mario didn’t get sick. He was the only player to stand a chance at gretz. He was in a different league with his size and skill.
It should be noted that part of the reason it took so long for Teemu Selänne to get to the NHL was the fact that he was required to serve in the Finnish military when he turned 18.
Not a very strong argument. He could have done it in the off season.
@@juholaitakari1305 How long do you have to serve in Finland, and if it changed, how long was it at the time? honest question

That Teemu got the Cup is what matters to me. My favorite player as a kid. Lot of NHL 94 nostalgia, lol.
You should do a trade tree for Barry Pederson to Vancouver. That trade happened in 86 and Boston still has roster players today to show for it.

Still love you Teemu. One of the best Ducks ever
one of the best hockey players in human history.
among the top of finland athletes even. Finland beat big teams with him among the charge.

TRUE Mickey Mouse Team ! WHO was that Said that - He didn't want to play for a Mickey Mouse Team - anyone ?
These are great. I look forward to the new ones each year. The longer the trade tree the better.

love the trade trees keep it up
Amazing vid! I'm a little sad you don't say the managers name, because the Ducks manager should get some love here. Just remarcable job. Also in one of your previous videos (year ago) flames trading a veteran to the Caps for picks eventually getting Kylington, Lindholm, Hanifin and three seasons of Hamilton. If that was Treliving, this guy is probably top 5 GM in the league, if you consider this years off-season magic......
I'm hoping you have either done are are working on the Cam Neely to the Boston Bruins trade tree. I find that one fascinating
If you need ideas for a trade tree:
December 30, 1997 - Edmonton trades Bonsignore, Bryan Marchment and Steve Kelly to Tampa Bay in exchange for Roman Hamrlík and the rights to Paul Comrie
This is how Vincent Lecavalier ended up in Tampa and how they won their first cup. It's also a pretty big trade tree.
The fact that Paul Kariya wasn't on that 2007 Ducks team was criminal
25:16 - Ok, I'll just ask about the Brett Hull (CGY to STL) trade tree instead. ;P
Can you sum the games played, goals, points, awards totals of each side of these trees. Would be interesting to compare them
Not related to this trade tree, but related to Anaheim's 2007 Cup win, the Ducks drafted Ryan Getzlaf as well as Corey Perry in the first round of the stacked 2003 draft. They combined for 1877 points in 2333 games.
Are these custom generated trade trees or is there a website you can use to make them?
Robert Reichel, we picked his nephew Lukasa few years ago and he should be ready as soon as this year. I am excited.
Loved Freddy Sjostrom. Dude was so fast.
Even though kilger and tverdovsky were top 5 picks, the fact that this trade was 3 for 3 was insane. If this trade happened today it would have been selanne to Anaheim and 2 1st round picks, 2 top prospects, and 1 good roster player to Winnipeg
Huh, Steve says "Aki Berg" like Kings fans say "Aki Berg". Well done sir.
A curiously interesting (sorta) note on the Coyotes/ Flames trade involving Carney, Freddie Sjostrom played for the Calgary Hitmen of the WHL. Also, I'm a long time Flames fan and I dont remember Carney at all. I do remember Kobasew and Taratukhin. Disappointment all around
Great vid Steve. And the deal was insane
The Ducks practically built their 07 cup team through this trade:
- Selanne came back in FA after the lockout bc he loved the organization
- moved up in 03 to draft Perry
- acquired R. Niedermayer, which then got S. Niedermayer to sign in Anaheim bc he wanted to play with his brother and win with him
- (smt about Pronger just to put a bow on everything that is this original trade 😁)
I miss hearing the music. It makes the video slightly more enjoyable to watch.
It’s still my favourite series of videos to watch though
I would argue the only reason scott niedermayer signed with the ducks was that his brother there…underrated
Even though this isn't direct trade, the ducks acquired Scott Niedermayer because he want to play with his brother Rob.
Have you ever done the Sedin Trade tree? Yes I'm thinking all the major players in the trade that got VAN the 2nd overall pick. So VAN, CHI, TBL and ATL. 2 real short branches and 2 longer ones
He had a broken knee since the last season with the anaheim, sj/col era was with a broken knee, got it fixed during the lockout and they got back the old goal scorer.
Great Video
Didn't even mention that bringing in Rob Neidermeyer brought them Scott Neidermeyer.
Oleg Tverdovsky was tagged as the "Russian" Bobby Orr. So no pressure there then. 🤔
