Too bad they can't put a clause in his contract that docks him $50K for every overly long shift.
You can see the fire in his eyes when he talks about being traded by Boston a mere months before they won the cup in 2011
Something Wheeler and everybody else should keep in mind...
If Boston hadn't traded Wheeler and Stuart, it is possible even probable that they would not have won the Cup. I know that no athlete ever thinks of themselves as being part of the problem, but sometimes Wheeler is. And yes, sometimes he's part of the solution. Just saying, he shouldn't go through life thinking he missed out on the brass ring.
Your point has only the butterfly effect going for it. Peverley contributed fairly little to the Bruins and Valabik never even played for them.
I think the assumption that he missed out on the cup is pretty safe.
You're ignoring the obvious addition by subtraction part of the trade.
