Which trades won a cup?

[Philadelphia Ducks]

LA Kings getting the guys from Philly.

They only got one guy from Philly

 

[Captain Bowie]

I can see that there are two sides to a trade, and one side of that trade was a direct beneficiary of players that helped with a cup win. Perhaps it's you that can't reconcile that.

I can reconcile that you did it on purpose so you could be contrarian knowing people would assume you were ignorant.

 

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

Hossa signed as a free agent...

Ah fair enough thanks for the correction, I just remember him joining the team the year they won the cup

 

[LeafFever]

Not a cup, but despite the crap Kevin Lowe got, I thought his 2006' trade deadline was overall the best in NHL history. Guy made 2-3 big moves that paid off so huge for a team that wasn't even in a secured playoff spot and came within 1 win of a cup.

 

[MarAlain MongYeo]

LA Kings getting the guys from Philly.

The guy*

The only player they got from philly was Mike Richards. They got Carter from Columbus

I did it because he was the principal piece in that package, and there were many moving parts going back the other way, whereas Eric Lindros' name is incredibly easy to remember. I figured people would be smart enough to figure out the fact that the pieces going the other way were instrumental for the Avalanche. Instead, you're here arguing that I'm being contrarian.

 

[Gurilla]

Kessel to the penguins

 

[The Kingslayer]

Blake to Colorado put the Avs over.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Marian Gaborik to LA.

Last year when half the league would take the Penguins' trash in exchange for good, fast players.

The Leafs didn't get nearly enough in return for Kessel, The Bonino deal was a steal from the time it was made, and I have no idea how any team let alone Chicago would think Rob freakin Scuderi was fair return for Trevor Daley.

Not to mention The Perron-Haeglin deal worked out in spades for them, although that one was pretty fair value wise.

Wait until you see Kapanen develop. They used the Penguins pick to get Andersen, who's looking real good.

I think Kapanen will be a fine player but I don't think he will reach Kessel level. Its all moot at the moment but it was so stupid that the Leafs settled for accepting a protected pick in that deal. Plus Spaling and Harrington haven't turned into anything of use for the Leafs, outside of other teams accepting them in trades.

 

[Peter Puck]

Dryden to the Habs (from the Bruins) won Montreal at least 2 cups that the Bruins would have won.

 

[Preisst*]

Rob Ramage and Rick Wamsley for Brett Hull and Steve Bozak. I doubt the Flames win the cup the next year without this trade.

 

[Satan]

Iginla for Nieuwendyk

Of course not. But how many times does the team trading an elite player get a prospect back that is that good?
Also, they won the cup, so who cares if it was protected. There's a big jump between top 5 protected and winning the cup.

All you had to do was add "For the Avs". But you didn't, and you knew what would happen.

Eh, I still think they win. The talent was scary good.

You're entitled to your opinion. I don't think they win without the steadying influence of Ramage.

 

[amnesiac]

Pronger to Anaheim

 

[HisIceness]

For Carolina in 2006, Mark Recchi for spare parts and Doug Weight for Jesse Boulerice and a pick (I think), were instrumental. Both both veteran leadership and for Weight it was a shot at winning his first.

 

[JustABlackhawksFan]

Vermette to Chicago for Dahlbeck and a 1st round pick in 2015?

Kane's broken collarbone also helped

 

[The Toews Era*]

Hossa traded to pittsburgh. His frustrating experiences with two second rate franchises led him to the eras most dominant team and as many cups as crosby and zetterberg combined.

 

[KingDeathMetal]

Hard to argue against the Rangers acquiring Matteau and Noonan from Chicago for Amonte in 1994, or even MacTavish and Anderson.

Obviously we all know what Matteau did (2 OT winners in the '94 ECF, not just Game 7). Anderson had a game winner in the Finals. MacT and Noonan were solid and build for the playoffs. Of course, one might counter argue that the ECF and Finals were closer than they needed to be, and having Amonte and Gartner would have made life easier on us, but it's hard to argue with results and the role the acquired talent played in garnering them.

 

[TNT87]

Francis and Samuelsson to the Pens.

The following year Tochett and K. Samuelsson to the Pens.
