The Gilmour trade was easily the worst, but while I realize this is the minority opinion, I would argue the Hull trade was right there with it.The historical narrative is that we won the cup because of that trade, I maintain we won the cup in spite of it. Yes they contributed, but seriously a back up goalie and number 4/5 d-man wasn't make or break that year. We were frickin' stacked.
Fletcher at the time admitted he knew what he was giving up... I think we could have more cup banners in the rafters had we not done it.
