I read after the event that this was the reason why McCrimmon and Mullen were both traded for picks that summer. Apparently they were the ringleaders, and Fletcher felt that they needed to go.
Unfortunately, I can't tell you my exact source. I believe it was one of the Herald beat reporters, but if there is a searchable online archive of the Herald from 1990 and thereabouts, I don't have access to it. Sorry about that.
