Jagr was unranked by NHL scouts during that draft LOL
this isnt true, can you prove this? Jagr was ranked very highly there was just questions about when he would come over to the nhl.

Speaking of hypotheticals, what if we pick up cujo, who was available, instead of beezer?
Mind....blown!Or taken M. Brodeur in the 1990 draft. Would Brodeur have then been dealt to Quebec in the Lindros trade?

Was he projected to be a generational talent? That doesn't really fit the flyers drafting mold.
Goalies are different because of sheer numbers but the Flyers had Hextall and Wregget. Rumors had one being traded to either Detroit or Vancouver to move up in that draft (Nedved rumors) but neither team bit. Brodeur was taken at 20 but no, I don't think anyone had him positioned as one the game's all-time greats. In fact, he was projected to be picked in the second round more so than first round. I recall one summary of Brodeur was "that he lacks polish." I think Trevor Kidd had a much bigger can't-miss label, too.
Coming out of junior hockey, Trevor Kidd was projected to be one of the greatest goalies of the generation.

I looked back at the 1990 Draft. Top four goalies taken were Kidd, Brodeur, F. Potvin and Mike Dunham. New Jersey took Brodeur and also Dunham at 53.

If you could go back to the day of the trade would you undo it and have Forsberg play his entire career as a flyer? tough call Lindros and Forsberg were both dope players. I personally would have kept Forsberg, Lindros' cuncussions are what make the difference for me
If I could go back in time and undo the trade? Hell yes I would keep Forsberg and all the other players and draft picks. And I was all over the trade back then, loved it. What made the difference for me now was that he did not bring us the cup and he was a Mama's boy.
PS What does dope mean? Out of your mind?
"Dope" means "excellent" in the vernacular of our times.
Unless the Flyers get a great goalie, like Roy, I don't see how undoing the trade makes any difference. Hell, drop Roy on the Flyers and maybe they get a Cup.
