To The Calgary Flames - 1989 3rd Round selection (Veli-Pekka Kautonen)
To The Vancouver Canucks - Paul Reinhart and Steve Bozek
This trade has always stood out to me and obviously winning the Cup that year negates anything but I always thought Vancouver fleeced us in this deal as Reinhart and Bozek were both solid players. I've always felt Reinhart is one of the most underappreciated Dmen of the 80s. Injuries will always give you a 'what-if' with him. Granted neither one of these guys were in the league beyond the 91-92 season but I still think CGY should have gotten more than just a 3rd Round pick back, no?
