Trading away one of the best goal scorers ever for a decent backup and an ageing defencemen isn’t great asset management. I doubt Fletcher knew what Hull would become or I doubt he would’ve made that deal.

Hull was considered an offensive talent, but lazy and poor defensively.
Now one thought he’d become the HOF he became.
Rob Ramage was a very good d-man at the time.
I don’t recall any push back on the trade at all from fans or the media.
Hey, if you make enough trades, you’ll eventually trade away some stars. Just the law of averages.
