Yeah, Hodge scored 742 in 748 after the trade (674 with the Bruins), Martin scored 699 in 871 after the trade (627 with the Hawks). I think it's fairly fair to call them a wash. Hodge was named to the First All-Star team twice, played in the All-Star game three times. Martin played four times, although never named to the team.

Still need to account for Esposito. He won the Art Ross five times. He lead the league in goal scoring for six consecutive years. He played in the All-Star game ten times. Named to the First Team six times, second team twice. He retired only behind Gordie Howe in goals and points.

And the Bruins were able to turn the aging Esposito into Jean Ratelle (more or less replacing Esposito's production) and Brad Park. Brad Park himself was an All-Star for the Bruins three more times and scored 417 points in 500 games for them as a defenseman.


Pretty much the 70S Bruins were built on Orr and that trade. They were President Trophy winners three times, lead their division 7, made it to the Stanley Cup finals four times and won the Stanley Cup twice in that decade.

For some perspective, Gilmour scored 452 in 393 games with the Leafs and less than 800 points after leaving the Flames. Esposito put up 1416 after the trade.
