Perry Berezan was traded in March of 89, so wasn’t part of the Cup winning team. Otherwise your list looks correct to me FWIW.
Correct, and abysmal. Whoever decided lunkhead Reiser should take over as GM from Cliff Fletcher(who had spent almost 20 years in the job) is way more guilty than anyone else.
36 months after you hang up the blades, you’re in the GM’s chair. No prior management experience. Of course he got fleeced over and over. He was totally unqualified.
It would be like making Iggy GM of the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Sheer lunacy.
