Quote:WRITTEN TASK: Tell me about the worst trade your team has ever made. This can be your SHL team, or any professional hockey team you cheer for in real life. If you choose your SHL team, please don't use this to flame your GM - they're doing their best!

Well first of all, let me thank you for bringing up some traumatic events as a Canuck fan. Let's see. Worst trade? Should I go with Cam Neely for Barry Pederson in 1986? I was only 9 at the time though and I wasn't really a Canuck fan yet. So I think I will go with a more recent disaster.

Have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Eriksson the Goat? You mentioned worst trades. Well before we can talk about the trade we need to discuss the worst free agent signing first. Loui Eriksson signed with the Vancouver Canucks for $36 million over 6 years. Little did Jar Jar Benning know that Loui would turn out to be a member of the dark side. The six years dragged on as the Darth Eriksson drained the Canucks lifeblood before one final dark spell. A trade. The trade. One that was suppose to bring balance to the team but instead it brought us only more darkness by the name of Oliver Ekman-Larsson. An evil so abysmal that it needed to be cauterize completely from the team to fully heal.

The team is unlikely to survive.
