Prompt 2
My favorite trade tree is the Teddy Cuddles/Mike Izzy trade tree, which is of course a completely biased choice. The trade happened back in 2017 after the S36 entry draft where now notorious villain Mike Izzy and a 2nd round pick were traded for newly drafted Teddy Cuddles and a 1st round pick. Mike Izzy was probably the best prospect in the SHL at that time and was seen as a potentially franchise player, whereas Teddy Cuddles (myself) was mostly a nobody at that point. Many people believed the Calgary Dragons fleeced the Blizzard, and honestly it did look like an amazing deal for the Dragons. In return for a first next season and Cuddles who was drafted in the late 2nd round, they got a player as close as you could get to a guaranteed franchise defining player. While Mike Izzy did end up fulfilling this expectation, eventually even becoming the GM of the Dragons, the Blizzard made out well in this trade too. Teddy Cuddles went on the become a huge part of the Blizzard and the 1st rounder they received ended up becoming Tor Tuck, one of the best defenders of his generation. The 2nd round pick Calgary received became an inactive player, All three of Izzy, Cuddles, and Tuck made the Hall of Fame and helped their teams win challenge cups in the S40's and S50's. @DeletedAtUserRequest @ErM |
