The worst trade in San Franciso Pride history is both times they traded for Slavakov Vladimirashenko, but since that’s a bit too obvious we’re going to go with the worst trade in Dallas Stars history. In my opinion, the worst trade they made was trading Jarome Iginla for Joe Nieuwendyk. Now on paper it may not look that bad, as the Stars won a cup with Joe and he was the 4th best forward on that team behind Modano, Hull, and Lehtinen, and there’s also no guarantee Iginla would have turned into the Hall of Famer he is if he stayed in Dallas, however there are a couple of factors that make the trade a loss for the Stars in my opinion. First of all, Joe never hit point per game while on the Stars. Now during that time Iginla hit it once, in 2001, but he also hit that mark 5 times after that while Joe never did. Second was age. Joe is 10 years older than Jarome and the Stars could have been better for longer keeping Iginla. And third was team loyalty. Joe only stayed in Dallas for 7 seasons before being traded, whereas Jarome spent 17 seasons with Calgary. While not terribly one-sided, I do think long term Dallas lost the Iginla trade.
