Gilmour trade sucked but the team was probably going that direction with the Canadian $$$ and no salary cap anyways.
Has another other team ever traded away the pick that became the player the wins the Conn Smythe trophy against you when you meet in the Stanley Cup finals.

The worst part is that we traded Weimer away later for a 3rd (4th?) round pick and used it to pick...yup, you guessed it. Hugo Carpentier!!!
Who's that you say? Oh he was great. He went on to play all of 61 games in the AHL, spending a large chunk of his first 3 pro seasons playing in the ECHL. He then went on to play in the LNAH...whatever the #### that league is. Apparently it's a ####ty Quebecois pro (semi-pro) league.
Our drafting is about a billion times better these days. WTF were we doing back then???
