Awesome job tracking that back. Very interesting read. I remember wanting Crosby so bad. I believe at the time Thornton was coming off a huge season and a CPHL scoring title. Nabby was a prime time goalie. I was so mad having to give up these assets when the previous Pens GM traded the #1 overall pick that turned into Sid for a bag of pucks right before I took over.
I also remember Mike Richards as the key piece in both deals that he was part of. Sid was not moving either way unless Richards was coming back.
