Re: Tuesday Fun- Best Trade You've Made (last 2-3 years)
Two very good deals.
2011 - First year of the keeper league I'm in. Decided to forgoe the season for the plan of building my keepers for years to come. Did a ton of wheeling and dealing that. Almost traded with the entire league and had so much roster turnover.
Traded my Iginla, Weiss and Orlov for Seguin and Ward. Later flipped Seguin for Giroux (when Giroux had a concussion).
Trade my Schneider, Kulikov, Read, 15th rounder for Lundqvist and a 4th rounder
But the biggest one was trading Benoit Pouliot, Dan Girardi, Tuumo Ruutu for Kaberle, Boyes and Shea Weber. Manager was making a run and wanted some player upgrades and was willing to pay Weber to do it. I happily obliged.
2012-2013 - Traded my Cory Conacher, and a 7th for Kevin Shattenkirk
Traded Charlie Coyle, a 4th and a 7th for OEL
2013-2014 - Traded my RNH for the 2nd overall pick. The guy who had first traded back to 4th overall and the guy who traded up to first ended up drafting Jones. So I happily drafted MacKinnon and walked away beaming.
Also traded for my 3rd and 9th rounders for Scrivens and an 11th rounder
