Even today, with Draper retired as a player and working in the team's management, when I see him interviewed I sometimes still think "Yep, that's the best buck we ever spent!"
I'm almost surprised the Michel Bergeron trade from the Québec Nordiques to the Rangers isn't mentioned here. I mean... When does anyone hear about a COACH being traded... Heheh!
Actually used to happen quite a bit. Last one I remember was Vancouver trading John Tortorella to Columbus for a 2nd round pick. 😂 guy got a pretty decent return
Marc Andre Fleury is literally the Chris Osgood of this era. Also 3 cup wins, 5 total finals, also disrespected at times, also should be in the hall of fame, also played amazing when he left his original team (Osgood had winning records with St Louis and the Islanders and proved he wasn't just succeeding cause of Detroit) and holy shit, Draper,,, 1 of the 'Fab 5' you could call them with Maltby Holmstrom Lidstrom and McCarty, the only 5 guys to be on all 4 of those cup winning teams... yeah Detroit can forever say THANKS WINNIPEG
Kevin Lowe trading Ryan Smythe because Smythe wanted an extra 100K a year, and Lowe didn’t wanna pay him. That was a weird one. Dude didn’t deserve to have his number retired for doing that.
@@scooterelway9191 The whole point of a ring light is to give a 360degree light source on the face. It essentially works like IRL airbrushing and makes practically everyone look amazing. It does require the light to be close up right behind the camera to actually do that though. If you can't have it there (cause of glasses, etc.). It really is better to just get another lighting solution. Because a ring light only works under those specific circumstances. Used any other way it's just a massively overpriced floor lamp, and about as useful for studio lighting as one, too. The other solution is to always look slightly off camera. But since Rob's style is to always have eye contact, that's not applicable here. Hope it's still refundable, I guess? Or just always record without glasses. That's what a lot of ASMRtists who normally wear glasses do. Cause they love their ring lights more than their ability to actually see things. Rob Hockey/Dog ASMR channel coming when?
I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for the Every Child Matters shirt on the wall. As a Métis woman, it means so much to see support like that, thank you.
Kris Draper's first career goal was in Detroit, when he was still a member of the Winnipeg Jets. And he wore the #91 then. He had to change numbers when traded to Detroit, obviously.
Yeah, back in the day, GM's would be like- GM1: "Hey, whatcha got there?" GM2: "It's this new thing from Starbucks. They call it a mochaccino." GM1: "I'll give you Mike Sillinger for it?"
I'm shocked that some fans are shocked that players have been sold for a dollar.. I mean I thought everyone knew about the Kris Draper trade... Look, Winnipeg literally gave Draper to the Wings for free, and I doubt Winnipeg ever received that dollar... The thing is for a legal contract to be transferred (regardless of the asset) it has to be sold for a dollar or more to make it a "legal sale" - presumably for tax reasons. So yea, it was a dollar "on paper" but I doubt there was an actual dollar exchanged. I'm sure it was something like "we'll get together next week and you can buy me lunch" type deals.. Now as to why Draper was "sold" for a buck??... I would presume Winnipeg was at their roster limit of 50 contracts and they wanted to sign a guy so they had to get rid of a contract to make that happen, so they just gave Draper to Detroit for "free".. Of course for all I know Draper was lost as a bet in a card game -- yes, that has happened -- players have been won and lost via GM's and owners gambling.. Look, players have been traded/sold for much weirder things than a dollar.... Back in the 60's or 70's (I forgot) a player (I forgot) was traded for a Zamboni and a Net... So yea, I'm sure many players have been traded for odd stuff behind the scenes, or lost as bets or lost gambling.. Obviously you cant tell the media you lost a player gambling or you traded him for off-ice stuff etc... That's why you saw a lot of "traded for cash" pre-1993 or so -- it wasn't always "cash" lol.... Also, if a team puts in a waiver claim for a player the team would have to pay $100,000 to buy that contract.. At least the price used to be $100K, it's probably more now.
@@jaggr1287 Even by that logic, trading a second round pick, which is basically what #31 is in theory, for Ryan Reaves when your two time cup winning coach has a system revolving entirely around speed is asinine. Jason Robertson and NIc Hague were still on the board. Trading that value for a player who does nothing but hit fight and take penalties in today's game is mind numbingly stupid
You mentioned binningron at the beginning, then went into the Scott Stevens deal. Stevens turned into shanahan, shanahan turned into pronger, pronger turned into Eric brewer, brewer turned into a 3rd round pick who was Jordan binnington. That should be a video by itself. That’s 7 cups for the three hall of famers for the blues to finally get there cup.
@@loosetube5417 nobody cares about baseball, football, or basketball. You must mean Hockey, Strongman, Bodybuilding, and watching paint dry since those are all much more enjoyable and more popular
As a blackhawks fan… not really confusing but just bad… the Seth jones trade. And Jones isn’t bad by any means, but to trade two 1st round picks, a 2nd and one of the best defensive prospects in the nhl is insane
Adam Oates trade for Detroit still is a mystery. A team needing whatever talent they could net from bottom of the ocean. Oates had close to 200 points in 4 seasons, traded for Bernie Federko and Tony McKegney. There had to be more backstory to this legendary bad trade for Detroit.
Ok Shanny went to Hartford and would be traded for Paul Coffey Keith primeau and a first round pick which ended up being a wash as the whalers were no longer a franchise shortly after
Pocklington wasn't a billionaire, he could barely be considered a millionaire on paper. That shyster was so leveraged out his ass he couldn't get a bank loan for a Chevy Cavalier.
Yes. But the abject disrespect showed to the greatest player in their franchise history is just inexcusable. Fuck the Golden showers. Fuck every single thing about them
Now Drapes is known as one of the best 3rd line centers of all time and is assistant GM next to Stevie Y, who together just drafted his son, Kienan Draper. LGRW.
You could have added the Patrick Sharp trade to Dallas in which through a series of moves after that, the Hawks ended up with essentially getting a cap hit on Rob Scuderi.
I had to look up the Kris Draper trade. Was REALLY curious who the Jets kept on the team that their GM thought made Draper expendable. The Centremen the Jets kept are: Alexei Zhamnov, Luciano Borsato, Stu Barnes (38 games), Ed Olczyk (#2C, 25 games, then traded to NYR), and Troy Murray (29 games, then traded to Chicago). So you're telling me Borsato and Murray were worth keeping over Draper? Mind blowing 😕
I was 20 at the time, nobody even cared he got traded. Zhamnov, Steen, Borsato and Barnes were the centers they went with. Draper was not staying with a third/fourth line center who could score 15 goals at the time without playing a full season (Borsato)
@@Actionronnie Correct, Draper was below the 4th line at the time. Well, for 1992-93, the 4th line centre was Mike Eagles. I think Barnes played some wing and centre and so did Borsato that season. However, Draper was traded just after this season.
Pocklington owed a balloon payment to the bank for loans he got to bail out his other businesses. He used the oilers as collateral for the loan and the bank was calling in that debt. So the 15 million paid off the balloon payment and the Oilers stayed in edmonton.
I don’t understand why the Flyers traded cam Talbot he was young when he got traded but had great potential he’s a solid goalie now and would have at least helped the flyers get in to the playoffs a little more
Remember when there was a rumor he might even retire if that trade went through? Starting to look like that might have not been a bad idea. He at least would have ended his career on a high note
It's not Fluery, It's the Hawks shitty defense. The last 4 years they can't win a board battle, the can't get the puck out of their own zone. They constantly turn the puck over. Terrible
Isles fan and we have too many bone head trades: Trading away a young chara a bum and a 1st that ended up being Spezza for Alexei Yashin. The isles trading away SPEZZA AND CHARA for an overrated player with an attitude problem. Trading away a 1st and 2nd to protect scrubs in the 2017 expansion draft Trading moulson a 1st and 2nd for vanek knowing he wouldn’t resign and then trade vanek for nothing the same year. Trading the pick that ended up being Marchand for a 4th and 5th. Trading away olli jokinen and Roberto Luongo for Mark Parrish and Oleg kvasha. I feel like you attacked me asking if my team made dumb trades. I’ve seen it all with millbury and snow. Dark times.
Odds are very good the Jets are on this list more the once. See GM Mike Smith on his deals and draft picks. Shanahan was cutting Craig Janney’s grass so he couldn’t stay in St.L.
To call this player nothing he’s better than you he’s stronger than you, and me. This is an insult to players who work all their lives only to have it bashed by a silly guy on TH-cam, who always has to correct his video during the editing process.
In beer league I got traded because I stopped giving my captain rides to and from the airport. In my defense I am self employed so this was taking time away from earning money and he wouldn't pay me fairly for my time. This had negative consequences for both teams. Both went from "meeting in the finals" to "first round fodder". I went to a team where the captain and I fucking hated each other for a long time prior. I booted him off my team in another league for being a locker room cancer, so I guess this was his revenge? Thank God I was rescued by another team in the off season.
As a Leafs fan, this was awesome but it made no sense statistically for the Flames... Gary Leeman, Craig Berube, Michel Petit, Alexander Godynyuk and Jeff Reese to Calgary for Doug Gilmour, Jamie Macoun, Ric Nattress, Kent Manderville and Rick Wamsley. Most confusing? Toronto trading Lanny MacDonald for Bob MacMillan and Don Lever .
Nice specs! Video idea - X Times something happened in a game where there was no rule to decide what to do. Would love to see something like that, although I assume most of the examples would be much older.
what's crazy about the fleury trade to Chicago is that hakkarainen still plays in chicago's system and not vegas' and I think he was still under contract with chicago maybe? not 100% sure about that second part
I feel like along with cap space, the knights management were furious that Fleury sort of gave Montreal a game in the finals that would've sent the knights to the Stanley cup.
Fleury trade wasnt confusing at all. Hes old and was maybe retiring and they wanted to *_*clear cap space*_* (a player who may only play 50 more NHL games for a return makes a lot of sense) .
Brand new hockey fan from 2019. I needed a new sport to watch, and never have watched a single hockey game. I picked VGK, as I loved knights and medieval stuff in general, but also because they had no history. Past 2 years were amazingly fun for me! But after this trade? We can't figure it out, and I'm totally upset on astronomical levels that we traded fleury for nothing! I'll remain loyal to his team of course! I won't be surprised if we miss the playoffs this year. This management needs to be gone, and get some people that respect the best players, and whom Dont trade hot players, on hot teams....it's really really unbelievable in all of the years I watched sports...miss you Fleury!
@@alec1430 welcome to the fandom. I grew up a Kings fan. There's so many years where i was absolutely po'd at the mismanagement or watched my favorite player traded away. It works in cycles. If you remain loyal you're gonna hit some lean times along with the joys. Before you know it, 10, 20, and even 30 years will pass and you'll see things reset every 5 years or so. I waited 33 years to see the Kings win their first Cup.
Sure, cap space, I get that. But the abject disrespect showed to the greatest player in their franchise history is just inexcusable. Fuck the Golden showers. Fuck every single thing about them
And now that Lehner got injured right in the middle of a wild card hunt and your team DROPPED, and is likely not going to make playoffs... how do you feel now? I think keeping him would’ve made a lot more sense... especially with the fact you’re so far over cap, but what did you want to do with that extra cap space once you cleared fleury? They wanted to bring in Dadanov... and then they wanted to ship him out when he didn’t perform for half a season... to a team that was on his NTL 🤣🤣🤣 This organization makes joke decisions WAY too much... they’re SO eager to get back to a cup final... they’re SO impatient... it’s clearly hurting them...
That's not how it happened. Penguins traded McCann to Toronto because they figured he was very likely to be plucked from their roster by Seattle and they wanted to get something for him if they were gonna lose him, they got Filip Hallinder and a 7th. And GM Ron Hextall all along wasn't trying to offer other assets up to Seattle along with losing a good player just to further protect a guy. Where the whole thing went fuckey for the Pens was when Toronto left McCann unprotected and Seattle picked him anyway just as the Pens had suspected that they would. Ultimately Pittsburgh should have just left Tanev and McCann both exposed and forced Seattle to choose, but alas, Ron Hextall fucked the dog😑😑
What is the most confusing trade you can think of?
Anything Mike Milbury
flower...
Michel Bergeron to the Rangers?
Jagr for Carter. STILL not sure what that was about because it couldnt just be cap space...
in 1990, Ray Sheppard was traded for a dollar too between the rangers and buffalo
You can check his wiki info on it
Draper for a $1... greatest trade steal ever imo
Yup.. no wonder why that jets organization collapsed and moved to Arizona where they still are cursed

We all thought Murray was the future. Thank God for Jarry and DeSmith.
As a diehard Vegas fan with a fleury jersey I am still furious even though it was a cap dump
Blackhawks trading Brandon Saad away to Columbus. Getting him back for Panarin, then trading Saad again.
I've had a lot of hockey fans that say the Knights are gonna regret trading the flower.
Brand new hockey fan from 2019. I needed a new sport to watch, and never have watched a single hockey game. I picked VGK, as I loved knights and medieval stuff in general, but also because they had no history. Past 2 years were amazingly fun for me! But after this trade? We can't figure it out, and I'm totally upset on astronomical levels that we traded fleury for nothing! I'll remain loyal to his team of course! I won't be surprised if we miss the playoffs this year. This management needs to be gone, and get some people that respect the best players, and whom Dont trade hot players, on hot teams....it's really really unbelievable in all of the years I watched sports...miss you Fleury!
@@alec1430 welcome to the fandom. I grew up a Kings fan. There's so many years where i was absolutely po'd at the mismanagement or watched my favorite player traded away.
It works in cycles. If you remain loyal you're gonna hit some lean times along with the joys. Before you know it, 10, 20, and even 30 years will pass and you'll see things reset every 5 years or so.
I waited 33 years to see the Kings win their first Cup.
Love the Every Child Matters shirt 🪶
Thornton was traded during the best season of his career. Only player to win a scoring title playing for 2 tags
Probably should’ve just given Vasy the Vezina
Nice vid rob I’m back my old channel was deleted by TH-cam so I got this one and subed
Oh my god that last trade with the conditional pick just kept going and going and going I couldn’t help but laugh the more complicated it got
Glasses and the reflection could not be ignored.
I believe Ray Sheppard also got traded for $1. (And he later scored 50 goals a few years later lol)
Idk if it’s just me but the whole explanation for the Scott Stevens situation was confusing as hell while just listening to the audio.
The Fleury trade was for cap space and he's getting old and already have Lehner it makes sense
The return still sucks. At least a prospect with nhl potential should have been part of that trade
Sure, cap space, I get that. But the abject disrespect showed to the greatest player in their franchise history is just inexcusable. Fuck the Golden showers. Fuck every single thing about them
And now that Lehner got injured right in the middle of a wild card hunt and your team DROPPED, and is likely not going to make playoffs... how do you feel now?
I think keeping him would’ve made a lot more sense... especially with the fact you’re so far over cap, but what did you want to do with that extra cap space once you cleared fleury?
They wanted to bring in Dadanov... and then they wanted to ship him out when he didn’t perform for half a season... to a team that was on his NTL 🤣🤣🤣
This organization makes joke decisions WAY too much... they’re SO eager to get back to a cup final... they’re SO impatient... it’s clearly hurting them...
@@BoboMcBooboy I'm not a Golden Knights fan
I live in Victoria, I may have to begin a quest to find this bus
Deslaurier is the only grinder who defended the ducks until they traded him
Forgot to mention how good kris Draper was on face offs even if they wouldn’t be allowed so much now.
Penguins trading tanev so kraken would take mccann even tho kraken most likely wouldve taken him. We gave up 2 key players for nothing
That's not how it happened. Penguins traded McCann to Toronto because they figured he was very likely to be plucked from their roster by Seattle and they wanted to get something for him if they were gonna lose him, they got Filip Hallinder and a 7th. And GM Ron Hextall all along wasn't trying to offer other assets up to Seattle along with losing a good player just to further protect a guy. Where the whole thing went fuckey for the Pens was when Toronto left McCann unprotected and Seattle picked him anyway just as the Pens had suspected that they would. Ultimately Pittsburgh should have just left Tanev and McCann both exposed and forced Seattle to choose, but alas, Ron Hextall fucked the dog😑😑
