In the history of the NHL, what was the worst succession plan? By that, I mean in what scenario was a team counting on replacing an established star player with a rookie with a lot of pedigree only to have the whole thing fail spectacularly and cost the team dearly? By this I'd use an example like the Flames bringing in Trevor Kidd to replace Mike Vernon only to have him bust or the Canadiens trying to replace Patrick Roy with Jocelyn Thibault.
