The story was out there the meetings to trade Tyler Seguin wasn't rubber stamped by one and all and there was one known dissenter who wanted to be patient and deal with the maturity issue.
I always believed Jim Benning was the point guy to move him and Peter Chiareli played George Bush to Benning's Dick Cheney.
I think the more I hear and even read we know who was the guy who wasn't all in. Don Sweeney
Gretzky behind the B didn't sem so eager to deal him either. But if that's the case its pretty ironic as all 3 of them are Gms as of today.
Conspiracy Theory ???
The conspirators might say Benning and others conspired to have PC fail and to get him fired by urging on the Seguin deal in hopes of landing the GM job in Boston but then Vancouver came calling.
It would eventually work after some more conspiring (Boychuk- playoffs)) but now PC has landed on his feet in Edmonton, where he can beat up on Benning for yrs to come and ultimately have a hand in his demise and in the end the better man all the time in Sweeney or better known as "The Don" wins, and gos on to win multiple cups in Boston....Although The question will always remain yrs later was "the Don" behind it all the time? Playing his best Keyser Soze?
