Selanne, Roy, Neely, Messier are all pretty brutal (though I'd need to freshen up on contract statuses and the other considerations there)

Phil Esposito on both sides of two great trades for the Bruins, horrible trades for the other side.
They acquired Espo, Hodge and Stanfield from Chicago. Esposito then goes on to have a HHOF career, one of the very best of all time.
Then towards the latter part of his career, Bruins trade him for Jean Ratelle and Brad Park. Two future HHOFers.
