Why did he start to suck after he was traded to Detroit, by all rights he seemed to have been headed for a hall of fame career.

Seriously, he was headed in the right direction, then who knows what happened. One of those players I always thought was a shame.

Jimmy Carson
Martin Gelinas (drafted 1st round 7th overall in 1988 by LA)
1st round selection (Jason Miller) in 1989
1st round selection (Martin Rucinsky) in 1991
1st round selection (Nick Stajduhar) in 1993
and cash.
Basically, five 1st round picks (including Carson who was one...) and Martin Rucinsky became the best scorer of the bunch. That's just sad.
I wonder what Edmonton has to show for this today... edit: Ethan Moreau is about all that is left.
