Trades are dumb and stupid and let's talk about my least favorite trade I've ever seen in the SMJHL. So these two complete goofballs, @sve7en & Fuzz. The absolute genius Sve7en decided to trade his S61 6th away because it was just a funny thing to do for a meme trade, I can't even find the official trade. However, this caused a problem because some seasons ago, the wonderful @FuzzSHL decided to make a trade the S61 CAR 6th round pick to the perfect @_Blitz_ because of some shenanigans to get the 69th OA pick to STL if at all possible. https://simulationhockey.com/showthread....pid2867614 However, their conditionals did save their asses, CAR traded a 2nd and a 6th, with a ton of conditionals on the 6th, for a different 2nd from STL. The conditionals with the 6th were that it is: A reddit pick, 69th OA, and if it isn't 69th OA, then the pick becomes a 5th rounder in the next draft after the reddit draft in question. "So tl;dr: if CAR trades their s62 5th then they're dumb and deserve the inevitable punishment" were my summary words after that debacle.

Prompt 1:

So this is still incredibly early and impossible to say whether it is actually the worst trade but with the recency bias it's hard not to look at the Florida and Calgary trade in a vacuum and feel a little bit hopeless about the entire situation. Given what was known about other offers available to Calgary for Tkachuk, it's hard to imagine another scenario where there's a clear cut scenario where they win out especially with how they knew they needed to get value from a player who was going to leave in a year.

However you have to question what sort of thought would go into bringing somebody like Huberdeau in when the coach you had committed to at the time played a style that was so against the strengths of a player. Weeger, Schwindt and a 1st round pick meant that there was quality, though in several different pieces as part of the roster, but Huberdeau appeared to never have a chance under a coach like Sutter. Just an unfortunate attempt all around.

In the NHL my favorite team is the Columbus blue jackets. Looking back at all of their trades that they have made throughout the years there is one significant trade that stands out as one of the worst trades in franchise history. This trade included the blue jackets sending Jakub Voracek, a 2011 1st round pick and a 2011 3rd round pick to the Philadelphia Flyers for Jeff Carter. What makes us trade one of the worst is that the first round pick turned into Sean Couturier, who has been valuable to the Flyers organization and the third round pick turned into Nick Cousins. As far as the Blue Jackets side of the trade, Jeff Carter only played the 39 games for the Blue Jackets totaling 15 goals and 10 assists before heading to the Los Angeles Kings that same year. With that being said, this goes down as one of the worst trades in Blue Jackets history.

PROMPT 1:

So I believe in my SHL GMs that they all are doing their best and most trades for our team have been successful or there are clear upsides to them. So no worst trade here. But in real life, I definitely know a trade that the Washington Capitals made that is, to me, the worst trade in team history. Back in 2013, during the Capitals peak team seasons, they made a deal at the trade deadline in hopes to boost their chances at playoffs. Washington traded their 2012 1st round pick, Filip Forsberg, to Nashville for Martin Erat and Michael Latta...... OMG even typing it out is terrible. Erat was just a huge disappointment. In the 62 games with the Capitals, he only scored 2 goals. He was also traded to the Coyotes late the following season. Filip Forsberg turned into a star for Nashville. Forsberg. Every game that the Capitals faced Nashville, Forsberg reminded me of just how terrible that trade was. It was like he wanted to prove to the organization what a bad move it was. Truly it still haunts me

This is a tough one for me but I'm going to have to say the Kings trade for Milan Lucic. Lucic would play in LA for just one season, filling a top 6 role and playing pretty good hockey. But they paid way too much for a one year rental. Colin Miller would become a very solid NHL defenseman, Martin Jones would instantly be flipped to division rival, the San Jose Sharks, and the first round pick could have been used on a true building block such as Matthew Barzal or Kyle Connor. The first round pick is what stings the most. The Kings were linked to Connor and Barzal, either of whom would have been a huge addition to the teams forward group and would have soon become one of the teams best offensive players. Jones' inclusion seems like a rushed move by Dean Lombardi who probably could have included somebody else and found another suiter for Jones thus maximizing the teams assets.
