Are you saying it was one of Fletchers dumbest moves because Steve Bozek was also involved in that trade?
Obviously Reinhart's back problems were the reason for the trade, he only played 2 years for Vancouver before retiring. Can't fault Fletcher for moving those guys, it gave others more ice time and we won the Cup the next year.
