What has been your best trade? What was your worse trade?
Couple of mine have been:
2012-13 Season (I only made 2, and they have been my best)
My H. Sedin for his Rask
My pominville and jeff carter for his Backstrom (Wash) and Skinner
2013-14 Season (season of terrible decisions)
1 week into the season I did My Miller and Jeff Carter for his Bernier and Dupuis.
My Tarasenko and a 12th for his Voracek and a 14th
My Skinner and a 9th for his St Louis and a 12th.
I was close to getting a 3 way deal done this season which was I ship out Skinner, Fowler, 14th for Hall, McDonough, and a 15th. It went through until one guy veto’d it because the 1 team that was giving up the least wasn’t getting enough. He didn’t understand the concept of the deal. He’s admitted to it now.

One trade I will always regret - a few years ago I got Frolik and Dalpe for my Voracek...not so good.

Best trade I've made was 2013-14 sending Reimer + OEL + Lupul +8th rd pick in return for JVR + Fleury +3rd rd pick. Already had Letang in limited keep 6 so OEL was wasted on my team.
Worst was also this year sending Iginla and 7th in exchange for a 4th rd pick.

Yeah... in sum: I tend to be really good at trades, except for the Ovechkin one. I still can't sleep at night over that one! I traded him a dozen or so games into the season when he was doing shit all (after owning him for the previous 3 years and seeing his numbers across the board continue to drop). Those consecutive years of decline made me trade him, and man oh man how stupid was that.
Oh well, live and learn.
I traded Holtby and Doan for Quick at the start of this year to a Caps fan while Quick was off to a slow start.

I made some very nice (and big) trades this year in my keeper. The best 2 for my team were:
1. My Backstrom(Wash) and Cam Ward for Eberle and Quick
2. My H. Sedin and D. Brown for Giroux and Hall - pretty much the ultimate buy-low, sell high. Sedin was on fire to start the year, Hall was hurt and Giroux was at his most awful a month into the season.

Worst:
2013-2014: Traded Couture, Barkov and Brobovski for Getzlaf, Holtby and a 2014 1st (we keep 18)
And a new spin:
Best Trade I Never Made:
2013-2014: Offered Varly + Barkov for Holtby prior to the start of the season. No way I win my league if that gets accepted
Worst Trade I Never Made:
2012-2013: Was offered Quick + Weber for my Toews + Fasth. I turned it down because Fasth looked to have stolen the starter's gig in Anaheim at the time and Quick and Weber were having down years

Oh man I have a few, we'll start with the bad in my 1st year of GMing - the year J.Neil gets traded to Pit.
I sent Neil and I got Briere, Horton, Kunitz, but I didn't even keep any at the end of the year; they all ended up getting dropped(OUCH)
I sent H.Sedin(Art ross year), Spezza, M.Koivu for Enstrom, Kesler
I also traded Fleury for Luongo which doesn't look so good now but it was a sideways move at the time and my goalies are gold now so no biggie.
------------------
Now my better trade's which now finally outweigh my bad ones.
I sent Eriksson, Cammalleri for Kessel, Dubinski; Later I ended up trading Kessel, Horton for for a package of Duchene, Pavelski, Ward, a 3rd round pick then I flipped Ward and Enstrom for JVR.
Sent Jvr+Luongo for Backstrom (was).
Sent 1st+2nd(Pick 10 and 11) Seabrook+Gagner For Parise and a 3rd..
Sent Eberle and my 1st for Giroux (Still living this one up).
Duchene+Marchand for Taveras right after he got injured to the leader in our league just before some crazy last day miracle of the reg season where I ended up making playoffs.
As the last seed(#6) I knocked out Seed #3, seed#1(Tavares guy, who had Duchene get injured right before our match Muhahaha), then I went on to win the championship this year knocking out seed #2 who's team was 60% injured. So hands down my best trade, I feel like I got Tavares for free and a championship to boot.

Last offseason, traded my Tavares for Perry and Benn (despite most of the Dobber community, including Dobber, saying don't do it). Fast forward to the end of the year and in our scoring format Perry finished 2nd in overall points behind Crosby and Benn finished 7th behind Ovechkin, Giroux, Getzlaf, and Pavelski. Even if Tavares stayed healthy, this ended up being a huge win for me and I took home the title this year despite getting 1/4 Anaheim starts in the final week (Damn you Hiller).
