The "I Hated That Trade" Thread

[Toronto Maple Leafs]

Here is where you can point back to a trade on this site that you hated and here you can vent about it, if you desire to do so. It's also a trash-talking section so everything, other than proboards rules, is fair game.

[Winnipeg Jets]

I have an issue with this trade.
Because it was my first trade. 
And it was a boring trade. 
I wanted my first to be more exciting. 
Fireworks. 
Something. 
Involving many men. 
Lots of them. 
A blockbuster first if you will. 
Oh well, c'est la vie. 
At least my next trade was..... what's the word I'm looking for? 
Orgasmic.

TO: xx - Former Calgary Flames
21 Sergei Fedorov 93 F 19 YR
23 Curtis Joseph 91 G 19 YR
21 Yves Racine 83 D 8 YR
23 Nelson Emerson 81 F 12 YR
31 Brad McCrimmon 80 D 7 YR
'91 1st Round Pick (Kings)
'92 1st Round Pick (Wings)


TO: Detroit Red Wings
24 Joe Nieuwendyk 90 F 17 YR
27 Mike Vernon 90 G 12 YR
32 Sergei Makarov 88 F 7 YR
27 Steve S. Smith 83 D 11 YR
'93 1st Round Pick (Oilers)
'94 1st Round Pick (Flames)

This was like the fifth trade I made when the site launched. This is my first hockey site and I wanted to do what was considered a blockbuster. I got what I wanted, but regretted it immediately afterwards. The only thing I even kept from the pile that I got back was Sergei Makarov, who I am happy I acquired, but I lost out on Sergei Fedorov and some good first round picks. Had I known what I do now, I dont think I would have made many of the trades I have on this site, but sometimes I enjoy trading a lot and I get caught on a whim. Such is life on a hockey sim site. #liveandlearn

[Chicago Blackhawks]

This one when I was GM of the Jets:

To PHI

Glen Murray 86 F 14 YR
Teppo Numminen 83 D 16 YR
Jason Smith 81 D 15 YR

To WPG

Anson Carter 84 F 14 YR
Mathieu Schneider 85 D 17 YR
Ken Klee 80 D 16 YR

Murray went on to win the Maurice Richard trophy that season.


This one kinda sucked too:

To Hartford Whalers

Curtis Joseph 91 G 15 YR
Chris Drury 87 F 17 YR
Jassen Cullimore 80 D 17 YR

To Montreal Canadiens

2nd overall pick (Miikka Kiprusoff 89 G 18 YR)
3rd overall picks (Marc Savard 88 F 16 YR)

I thought Kipper would be a 90, and he had a really bad rookie season. Savard's pretty good though, so its not all bad.

[Toronto Maple Leafs]

Not really hate, but I sort of regret this one now:

To

Jason Allison 88 F 12 YR
Ville Peltonen 79 F 14 YR

To

Tomas Vokoun 88 G 19 YR
Janne Laukkanen 81 D 9 YR

I feel like Allison has strangely been a very talented player on this site, and then I moved off Vokoun to eventually settle with Hrudey and Kidd lol best fucking weirdest tandem ever.

But in all, I am happy with who I have acquired and who I have traded. It was fun getting them, and like I said, I don't want to lock players onto a team forever. So now they are on their way out.
