PT#0 – Written Task - 160 Words

So, the worst trade that I can think of related to my team was when Peter Chiarelli traded Tyler Seguin, Rich Peverley, and Ryan Button to the Dallas Stars for Loui Eriksson, Joe Morrow, Reilly Smith, and Matt Fraser. To this day, I cannot fathom why they thought it made sense for them to move on from such a young promising talent in Tyler Seguin, especially in a deal with no draft capital coming back in return. It was a massive floundering by the professional scouts, and that trade should have ended Chiarelli’s tenure as General Manager that day. Some rumors have emerged post-trade that Seguin had engaged in indecent acts with a teammate’s wife, and the daughter of the General Manager, so that may have played a part in the GM fuming and sending the young Ontario-born forward down to Texas. Despite Seguin’s extracurricular activities, I still cannot tolerate the abysmal return he brought the club in that trade.
