Timmy would skate with his head up, instead of into Stevens' elbow.

Forgot about Ulfie.

Everyone does, underrated player in my opinion. I know he was a dirty (frank) but he was OUR dirty (frank) for a little while.

Yeah, funny how that went. I would have rather kept him looking back but Ulf was a decent consolation prize.

I actually understood the trade at the time. Definitely made in response to the Flyers intimidating us out of the building in '95 playoffs

Definitely. We had Ulf at the right time. Hated Kasperitis on Pitt, then when we got him, the game had passed him by. If only we had him in his prime.

Lindros was still almost a point per game player with the Rangers...crazy cause he was only 65% of what he was

That's some pretty good poop for the dark years. He was one of the few reasons to watch aside from Coke Fiend Fleury and Crazy Barnaby(Who almost cracked my all time list).

He did it over 2 seasons so I say he makes it if you want. Though I think everyone on my list appeared in more games.

Edit: Except Bure, but that was due to injuries and nothing else. He was a monster here despite the short life span.

so disappointing they let Verbeek walk, but they signed Gretzky that summer and it completely overshadowed it

See my edit but I didn't even realize Verbeek was so productive.

You retain a lot of information.

That is nuts, how is 3ish mil per year overpaying for that production? Other players made a lot more around that time with similar production.

I will see if want to run one of these. To me, it’s like throwing stuff at the wall and hoping some sticks. Not my bailiwick but know others like it.
