Keep in mind this was in 1992 after Eric Lindros held out after being drafted.

Flames offered:
Mike Vernon,
Al MacInnis,
Joe Nieuwendyk
draft picks

Toronto offered:
Felix Potvin,
Wendel Clark,
Dave Ellet,
Craig Berube,
$15M,
draft picks

Chicago offered:
Ed Belfour,
Steve Larmer,
Steve Smith,
7 draft picks

And the two that everybody knows,

NYR offered:
Alexi Kovalev,
Doug Weight,
Tony Amonte,
John Vanbiesbrouck (would be replaced with James Patrick if Vanbiesbrouck didn't re-sign with New York prior),
$12M
three 1st round picks

Philly traded:
Peter Forsberg,
Ron Hextall,
Mike Ricci,
Steve Duchesne,
Kerry Huffman,
Chris Simon,
$15M,
two 1st round picks

The 2 draft picks became Jocelyn Thibault (who was packaged to acquire Patrick Roy) and Nolan Baumgartner (the pick ended up being dealt to Washington).

This is all according to his CBC interview here:

Pretty interesting to look back now.
