Which of these Leafs trades would you go back in time and stop from happening?

[LeafsNation75]

Kessel set us back 5 years.
Not that the player was bad - the deal in itself turned the team ready for a rebuild into a must win at all costs.

Then again; those draft years were tough to gauge. We may have been a team spinning our tires with this core of top end picks:

Taylor Hall
Jonathan Huberdeau
Griffen Reinhart

You do remember that Morgan Rielly was selected right after Griffen Reinhart was drafted by the Islanders and so far Rielly is looking like the better player, where as Reinhart was eventually traded to the Oilers and has been up and down between the NHL and AHL this season.

Rask

Off that list kessel. Wish the rebuild had started earlier. Nolan? No guarantees as to who we would have taken

 

[Radomon]

The Rask trade. Easily. Goaltending was our biggest problem for years and with Rask as our goalie instead of Raycroft or Toskala we would've been a much better team.

While over at hockeynews just recently, was checking team North America line-up. The swedes line-up has Steen included. It has a link note: Steen has the highest goals per game of all Swedes over the last 4 years.

That was a awfully bad trade that is affecting us now. Worst part was you could see him getting better year over year. I will just stop now though.
