Leafs hire a secret Nazi/Communist as the Zamboni driver. Beginning of the end.

Those two were the guys picked ultimately with the 1st and 3rd traded from Philly for Versteeg

Because If we didn't trade stalberg we would have beat la in the cup finals this year



And purcy is a bust

Take off the blue and white glasses and stop drinking the kool-aid

By that logic we are a shoe in for Weber..... offer a 2nd rounder (It's better position than when they drafted him). They are obliged to take it.

Maybe showing that Versteeg was worth a ton more than Stalberg because he is a better player?

Think there was more to it than that. Something we are not aware of that was the reason Chicago, and Toronto never really warmed to him.

He cried for a year when we traded Kaberle's heir apparent and future Norris Trophy winner Stralman away.

Parent for Favell and a box of marbles was wretched that anyone could have seen coming. Nothing against Palmateer but the chance for a cup went out the window with that deal.
The Kessel for Knight, Hamilton and Seguin deal will likely go down in infamy, though Kessel is a solid player.

Yeah, that was a bad move acquiring that guy. Glad we were able to get a first from Philly (which turned into Biggs, no?) for him, but he was clearly disinterested and even alluded from the get-go that his heart was still with CHI after winning the cup.

He'll do well in FLA: no pressure, lots of ice-time, cool blonde highlights in his wavy surfer hair.

He can play center too if I'm not mistaken. I think he asked for a trade. He wasn't happy here. I remember some fans messed with his car or something
- maverickJ


I don't think he asked...he seemed pretty surprised when he was traded again.

Bringing Punch Imlach back and letting him dismantle a team that was on the cusp, because of his personal vendetta.

barr none it ruined the Leafs for a decade and contributed to a large number of these poor deals listed here

- stevecarpetman


Excellent point. Probably too far back for most to remember...I think Mike Augello is old enough to know this though.
