Didn't work out that way - but the Kidd over Brodeur thing is one of the classic examples of the benefits of hindsight.

For me it's just the hockey gods being cruel to us.
The fact that we traded up with New Jersey to draft Kidd and the fact that they took Brodeur with our pick - that's just mean. No one did anything wrong at the time, but how it worked out is pure cruelty.
