Milbury was destroying the Islanders before Charles Wang bought the franchise.
Milbury literally traded away a stanley cup winning roster.
Bertuzi - Spezza - Palfy
JP Dupont - Jokinen -
Ruutu
Chara- Redden
Berard- McCabe
Luongo
Salo
Mikes horrible trades:
- Traded Bertuzi, McCabe and a 3rd rounder that was Ruutu for Trevor Linden.
- Traded JP Dupont for Nabakov
- Traded Brian Berard for washed up Felix Potvin
- Traded Tommy Salo for table scraps
- Traded away Ziggy Palfy for players he'd traded away for table scraps (Oli Jokinen)
- Traded away Jokinen AND Luongo for table scraps in a single trade
- Traded Chara and 2nd overall (spezza) for Yashin
Mike Milbury made Kevin Lowe look like a freaking genius.
Highlight of Mike's career was climbing into the stands, taking a man's shoe off and proceeding to beat that man with his own shoe.
Why is Fletcher seen that bad exactly?
I mean, on the surface I don't see much problems... Overpaid for Risto but the Ellis and TdA trades were good, no?
Deslauriers signing was good too
I don't see anything drastic
You'd be scared to look at Dorion track record lol
I think part of the problem is that people here don't really realize how many horribly stupid things Milbury did back in the day. Or maybe some of them have somehow forgotten.
Went by the nickname '
Mad Mike'.
