And one of those firsts was used to pick Jocelyn Thibault, who was the principal piece in the trade that brought Patrick Roy to Colorado.
The Lindros trade was so spectacularly lopsided, it even has
its own Wikipedia page. According to that article, by the end of the 2000-01 season, here's what each team had to show for the deal:
COLORADO:
Two Stanley Cups
Rob Blake
Ray Bourque
Chris Dingman
Peter Forsberg
Shjon Podein
Steven Reinprecht
Patrick Roy
Alex Tanguay
PHILADELPHIA:
One appearance in the SCF
Eric Lindros on IR (missed entire 2000-01 season)
Moral of the story: There is always a price too high to pay for any one player. Eichel is no exception.
