I don't know how many of these are good examples though. If memory serves Beech wasn't really a high end prospect at that point, the Guerin trade didn't net a high end prospect in return, same for the Hossa trade (Erik Christensen was three years in the league at that point). Bernier may have been considered a good prospect, so I guess there's room to argue there.
The Smyth trade is probably a good example however with the inclusion of Robert Nilsson and to a lesser extent O'Marra.
