Default The Gilmour trade - 25 years later

25 years ago today: the infamous 5 for 5 deal between the Flames and the Leafs that saw Doug Gilmour, Jamie Macoun, Ric Natress, Rick Wamsley and Kent Manderville traded for Gary Leeman, Craig Berube, Alexander Godynyuk, Michel Petit, and Jeff Reese.

Lots of coverage from Toronto (not surprisingly) -- some interesting (new?) info looking back, including interviews with Gilmour and Leeman:

As a Flames fan, this trade more or less crippled the team for the next several years
