It it were highway robbery than you do it for sure.

I'm thinking of a list of guys who looked like great young players than ran into problems that caused them to be traded. Just plucking a few random ones off the top of my head.

Pronger
Lindros
Thornton
Seguin
Phanuef
Heatley
Carter/Richards

Can you point out the example where the team that traded for the "problem player" lost the trade.

Richards looks bad now, but when you compare, Philly has perpetually underachieved and LA has 2 cups.

Phanuef is terrible now, but the Flames have next to nothing left from this trade, and the leaf's got the best player they just gave him a stupid contract.

Heatley helped the sens to the Finals, and Hossa is long gone.
