Lockout and Gretzky trade, in that order.
I was mainly looking to keep it at front office/ownership/player movement type things cause the lockout is a pretty obvious answer.Does the lockout count?
On the Gretzky trade, was it expected he would be traded or did it come out of nowhere as a big shock?

What's the story on Maurice Richard's suspension?
The Richard Riot (or the St. Catherine Street Riot as some would prefer to call it), was a riot that had occurred in 1955 in Montreal, Quebec. Maurice Richard, the star ice hockey player for the Montreal Canadiens, was suspended for a violent attack on a linesman and it provoked a riot at the Montreal Forum that spilled out into the streets. Some commentators have linked the Richard Riot in the 1950's with the birth of Quebec nationalism and the Quiet Revolution.
Speaking of Richard, when is the Richard movie coming out on DVD?

Remember this beauty:
Before the 1989 waiver draft, Philadelphia trades Pete Peeters and Keith Acton (both of whom they didn`t have room for on their protected list and likely would`ve lost) to Winnipeg for future considerations. Winnipeg puts both guys on their protected list and after the draft trades them back to Philly for a 5th round pick.
***?? That's pretty nuts.

What Trade/Signing/cut/suspension is the most contraversial to you guys?
Was this the reason the rule was created that says a player that is traded from one team back to the same team later in the season cannot play in that season? Or was the rule already in place?
