Suter had just been traded to Hartford from Calgary the day before, and Sutter said it was a three-way deal all the way.
"(Pulford) wasn't able to make the deal with Calgary," he said, "so he had somebody else do it for him."
Said Pulford: "Suter's a very good offensive defenseman as well as being a good defenseman. He should help our power play and make our team better." |
Every single player from that 89 team was traded for nothing right away, or eventually turned into nothing in subsequent trades. We were set up for a whole decade in 1990 but Reisbrough was trying to set the record for transforming a champion into a pile of ash as quickly as possible. It was actually pretty impressive how much of a hard on he had for losing trades.
Mega sports contracts with no cap would've screwed us in the end but players could still have been traded for value ffs. It's like every trade in the 90s was made with the sole intention of ruining the team now and going forward.
