Which trades won a cup?

[Blade Runner]

07 Brad May to the Ducks

 

[amnesiac]

Doubt that.

you have a short memory, sir.

 

[goonybird]

You can't see how that was unclear?

if you thought that was unclear wooooboy

 

[emeyezee]

Timonen and Desjardins to Blackhawks.

Is this sarcastic? I love Timonen but he was... uh.... bad in the 2015 cup run.

 

[Halak Ness Monster]

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.

Yikes

 

[Syckle78]

Shanahan to Detroit.
Hasek to Detroit

Shanahan to Detroit was huge. I remember the exact moment the trade went down and knew it would put us over the top.

 

[Crosbyfan]

If your takling immediate impact/same yr disregard below.if not,
Dryden to the Habs from the Bruins.
Dryden traded to the Habs a few days after being drafted by the Bruins in 64.Finished his university before stepping on the ice for the Habs
The only player in the history of the game to win a Hart and in the next season win the Calder.

Not Hart, Conn Smythe.

Frank Mahovlich to Habs:

Frank Mahovlich was a big part of that '71 win and came to the Habs mid season from Detroit. He would probably have won that Conn Smythe if not for Dryden getting it (not that he would have been in position to win it if not for Dryden)

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Definitely Paul Coffey and Keith Primeau for Shanahan in 97 for the Red Wings.

 

[jacks*]

Not Hart, Conn Smythe.

Frank Mahovlich to Habs:

Frank Mahovlich was a big part of that '71 win and came to the Habs mid season from Detroit. He would probably have won that Conn Smythe if not for Dryden getting it (not that he would have been in position to win it if not for Dryden)

Ya i know. Was typing fast as i was on the move and just typed in Hart.
Of course i meant Conn.
Fixed.

 

[Maukkis]

Pittsburgh's wheeling and dealing last year was quite helpful.

I mean, if you don't agree, imagine a Perron-Sutter-Kapanen line being the major headache for other teams. And while you're at it, a Scuderi-Letang top pairing.

Well if you want to evaluate these topics on chaos theory levels, then yeah it mattered as a trade to win a cup

 

[Nordic*]

Hagelin to Pittsburgh.

 

[Terry Yake]

07 Brad May to the Ducks

lolwut

pronger to the ducks best defines this question. pretty much everyone figured the ducks were going to win the cup after that move

 

[oconnor9sean]

Nieuwendyk to Dallas for Iginla put the team over the top. I don't think we would've won the Cup without him.

 

[DJN21]

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.

Came to post thiS.

Butch Goring for Dave Lewis and Billy Harris- Billy Harris was the first ever Islanders pick in 72 and Lewis joined the team in 73 and by 75 the Islanders were one of the better teams in the league but they could not get over the hump, than in 1980 they were traded at the deadline for Goring and the Islanders went on to win the next 4 Cups, I am sure it must have been a very painful thing for those guys to see

 

[Jee]

Nieuwendyk to Dallas was the first one that came to mind.

 

[1909]

Frank Mahovlich to the Habs in 1971.

Roy to the Avs in 1995.

Yep. Somehow didn't show up. My bad.

 

[mexicohockey]

Noonan and Matteau to the Rangers 1994

 

[Alwalys]

Bourque to the Avs was instrumental in their 01 Cup win

Blake to Colorado put the Avs over.

it's interesting to think which of these trades is the one that is the trade that won that cup.

 

[brodano]

kessel to pens

 

[The Head Crusher]

Now just throw some "errs" and "arrrs" in there.

Fowa suppah, I er ah, wanna a pahty plattah!!!

As fowa trades, I er ah, say 97 Detroit trading "future considerations" to ah Toronto fowa Larry Murphy.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

The Pens have to one of the only teams to build so much of the team through trades. It seems like all of the important pieces besides Malkin, Letang, Crosby and Murray were from trades

Pens had five rookies play pretty important roles last year. Sheary, Rust, Kuhnackl, Dumoulin, Murray. They've made some good impactful trades but a good part of the team is home grown as well.

 

[danielpalfredsson]

St.Louis acquiring Ryan Miller at the deadline in 2014.
