Rundblad + 2nd for Turris
Rundblad was just coming off a 50P SHL season in which he won the Swedish equivalent of the Norris, and was considered among the best prospects in hockey.
Turris was looking like a major disappointment as a former 3rd overall pick, and was thought of as a longshot to fulfill his potential. I remember that the word bust was incorrectly thrown his way at the time.
Consensus was that it was a big overpayment by the Sens. Well Rundblad ended up busting completely and Turris ended up being a top 2 line center.
one interesting was Mikka Kiprusoff from San Jose to Calgary for a 2nd.... ended out being Vlasic.
I agree with the Lindros and Neely trades. Both were steals for the Bruins and the Nordique.
I had Isaiah above Kyrie for sure and at the time Crowder etc still had value. But it could still be a win for Cleveland depending on how they use the Nets pick.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 .
Mulletman strikes againMikael Granlund for Teddy Purcell was pretty bad...
Just think back to the reaction to Pittsburgh throwing away a third round pick for Justin Schultz.
What about Nieuwendyk for Iginla?
Proven 50 goal scorer for a prospect.
