Good goal scorer in his career.
He found his stride in 1987. He was a great fit on the LW with Neely and getting better every month. I was happy to get Moog, but that was tough to part with Courtnall based on the season he was having with Neely. And then very tough to take in 1990 after what Ranford did to the Bruins.
Other than some brief flashes from a few players, Neely's LW was never quite filled again at that level.
What's funny is that Edmonton didn't even need him. He was buried on the roster, did nothing in those 1988 playoffs and was dealt to Washington that summer for a vastly inferior player who would only score 12 more NHL goals.
The Bruins probably could have re-acquired him then, as they had several comparable players to "the other" Greg Adams in stable. Courtnall scored 42 that next season and was a point-per-game playoff player from 1989-94. That sure would have helped the contending Bruins.
Acquiring Moog was a good move, but what may have been if Sinden left one of Courtnall or Ranford out of that deal.
