Started my last year with the Oilers, a week into the season, their leading scorer, best defenseman and all around great guy with a nifty haircut was called into the offices of Steve Tambellini.

We were joined in Tambellini's office which actually resembled the Romper room from that kids show two decades ago by Kevin Lowe who promptly pulled Tambellini into his lap and jammed his hand up Tambi's back. After an hour of really lame ventriloquist jokes where he threw his voice at two pictures of Darryl Katz and the toilet bowl they let me know that they had traded me to the Kings.

I silently fist pumped 72 times before putting a saddened look on my face and asked them who was coming back to the Oilers.

Clearly I wasn't worth much as they garnered a first round draft pick Steve Bernier and a Wayne Gretzky sophomore card.

I politely thanked them for the opportunity and Tambellini promptly did a "Yer welcome" but I swear I saw Lowe's lips move as he tried to hide it behind a readjustment of his combover.

I them went to the dressing room to sadly break the news to my team mates, and did it in the kindest way possible, by dropping my pants grabbing each cheek and letting Mr. Butt break the news to them.
