Tremblay was Jacques Lemaire's assistant in Minnesota and then in NJ in the second go-round.
Wasn't he basically a glorified secretary though?

Well...
Lumme was caught in a numbers game and traded for a 2nd pick, which isn't bad value.
And he had Kevin Haller for Svoboda, which is not that bad.
It's not?
I thought it was. Svoboda, right or wrong, is an ATD staple. Haller has yet to be selected 1500 picks into ATD2010.
Can't believe it's been 15 years alread. Heck, I can't believe it's been five years since I commemorated the 10-year anniversary!
Ahh, I remember it so vividly. It was a Saturday night, and the Leafs were playing the Ducks. CBC was cutting in for updates to the Habs/Wings game seemingly every 5 minutes.
Maybe that has more to do with at what position Haller was drafted and the fact that he had to retire early as opposed to being bad value compared to Svoboda.
I think I remember that Leafs-Ducks game.
Did Todd Krygier have to leave the ice to get his skates sharpened?
I was surprised when I just checked and saw that Svoboda was a career 20-minute man and Haller averaged about 19 (in a much shorter career, of course)
I don't think Haller warrants selection at this point in the draft that we're at (where Barret jackman, Jeff Norton, Mike Rathje, Paul Cavallini and Kyle McLaren are recent selections) but then what does this say about Svoboda? Why is he an ATD staple in the 500-600 range?

The events that led to the worst trade ever happened.

Anyway, if I also remember correctly, Roy missed a team meeting and practice the next day. I never did understand the Canadiens' reaction to that. I mean, sure - fine Roy's ass and/or suspend him for insubordination. But, TRADING him??? Seemed a bit extreme. I know what Roy said to Ronald Corey and all, but I can't believe that couldn't have been smoothed over a bit, given time.
