Basically, what are some trades that seemed lopsided at the time that they happened that ended up being lopsided, but for the opposite team?
Does the Fedorov to Columbus deal qualify? Looked like a cap dump by Anaheim at the time, but then Beauchemin turned out to be huge contributor as Fedorov's star faded.
I remember the initial shock and outrage here when Linden got traded for Bertuzzi/McCabe. Worked out well for us
Not at all lol. If anything most people thought boston got the better player, then 6 months later when IT plays its proven that yeah, boston got the better player .Can’t think of any NHL off the top of my head but Isaiah Thomas+ for Kyrie Irving stands out in the NBA.

Ryan Callahan + 2 1st round picks for Marty St. Louis.
The Bolts traded both picks to the Islanders and as far as I know, only one player is semi-notable. The Rangers avoided giving Callahan a massive contract that we knew we would regret.

Not for the Bolts....The picks became Ho-Sang and Beauvillier. Both notable. Ho-Sang is a top prospect, and Beauvillier scored 21 goals this year
Okay. A ton of future production? Its a 3C. My point is, its hardly the super lopsided trade it was originally made out to be. Not to mention, Tampa is stuck with Callahans albatross. In the end, it was a lot closer than it originally appeared to be.This isn't correct at all. Both teams went to the finals but lost with each of the main pieces, St. Louis and Callahan. Tampa received two 1sts from New York while New York got a 2nd from Tampa. Tampa did eventually trade both of those picks to the Islanders but one of the picks they received is Cirelli who's their 3C right now in the playoffs and they have two good prospects waiting in the wings. Callahan is also contributing but is overpaid but the contract isn't hurting us. New York used the 2nd in the Yandle deal but never won the cup. Tampa won this big time as they got more current production from it and look to have a ton of future production.
Nah, Rangers got hosed bad. Giving two 1sts for a player who would only agree to wave his NTC for the Rangers anyways is way too much.Ryan Callahan + 2 1st round picks for Marty St. Louis.
