It's tough between the Schneider trade and the one we made today. Probably today's deal though, I can't stay it's not the best.
I'm still laughing at how after 2 years, someone said we could have had a great forward instead of Schneider and listed Curtis Lazar as one of those names. As if Curtis Lazar is anything good or has done anything more noteworthy than eating a hamburger thrown from the stands and onto the ice.

Nope, still embarassed
The Palmieri trade was petty larceny compared to Hall
I still the the Schneider trade was :O more so than Hall.
It took me hours to digest that.

While Hall > Palmieri, Lars has a lot more potential than a 75 year old Jagr though. We basically traded Jagr for Palms.

It is Cory for me. Horvat looks like he is going to be a good one, but Cory is a top-5 goalie in the league.
I think Hall and Lars are closer in worth than Cory and Horvat(or whoever was on our board at 9) are.

Definitely the Cory trade. I think it's too early to say on the Hall/Larson trade. Hall is a hell of a player, but he has yet to play a game for us.

Hall/Lars isn't a steal. It is a hockey trade that we got more value out of, but not light years more.
The Cory/#9 trade legit doesn't even make sense. I still don't know what Van was thinking.

I did say today's trade was the best, but I was pretty conflicted between today's and the Cory trade.
Either way, I think the Cory trade wasn't too far off. Especially with even less proven goalies/ones that aren't as good having also been traded for first round picks recently. Now it seems like everyone is trading a first round pick if you want a goalie that's under 30 years old.
It was something like....
WE HAVE TWO OF THE BEST GOALIES IN THE WORLD, AND THEY BOTH DESERVE TO START. WE OBVIOUSLY NEED TO GET RID OF ONE. Let's trade our young backup for a lottery pick so our superstar goalie can be happy.
Now, what they were thinking when they decided to get rid of Luongo, I can't say.

Either Schneider or Palmieri would be my pick for the bigger steal. Hard to say if the 2nd round pick for the 30 goal scorer or the 1st round pick for the Vezina-caliber starting goaltender is a bigger steal.

aka Zippo
Dupuis and Hossa for Christensen, Armstrong, Esposito and 1st
Niskanen and Neal for Goligoski
Iginla for Hanowski, Agostini, 1st
His worst trade by far was Douglas Murray for 2 2nds. The rest have been stellar.
The schneider trade for a draft pick was imo the biggest steal. That was the last of Lou's great deals for us. Correct me if I'm wrong but he made the Vancouver gm stay silent as the trade was made the day before, but lou wanted to announce it at the draft at the rock.
I'll admit that I wasn't a fan of the Schneider trade at the time. I was worried that Schneider might leave after his deal expired, plus Marty was still around for at least another season. Unfortunately that first year was a bit wasted with Marty getting more starts than he should have.

The team went through the curse of losing Kovalchuk and Parise for nothing.
Yet, somehow have added Schneider, Palmieri, and Taylor Hall. I mean, that's incredible considering the fact that there was only a 3.6% chance of even getting Larsson in the first place which later lands us the first overall from 2010.

Iginla did limit Calgary's options on that one. Calgary thought they had a deal with Boston, but Iginla blocked it and Calgary basically had to deal him to Pittsburgh. And then Iginla signed with Boston a few months later.

That was my first thought. I didn't like the Schneider trade for the first 60 seconds, despite wanting him for years before this. Only because I knew Marty would wind up starting more games than he should have. I also had it in the back of my mind immediately that if he decided to play after that season, it would be in another jersey. Even though later on in that year I didn't want him back at all the next season. But I was a little sad thinking about it, before seeing how stupid the whole situation wound up turning into that season.

This Hall trade wasn't a steal. If he stays relatively healthy and Larsson struggles to break 30 points over there, then it would be a steal.
