Taro T Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 i dunno stranger thing have happened. like really how do you trade gretzky? whoops. Ummm, you're broke. (The 'you' being either the owner or the team.) That's why he was traded the 1st 3 times. Not sure if he'll get moved from an oldtimers team or if Janet will look to upgrade, but it was the reason for the 1st 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To LA and then to St. Louis. He signed as a free agent in NY, didn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 And the events of August 9, 1988 WEREN'T a sale? At least it was disguised around a bunch of first round picks (and wow did they bomb on those picks) and a legit scorer in Carson. Nothing but cash went in the Indy trade, right?

Nothing but cash went in the Indy trade, right? As far as I can tell, Skalbania only got cash (~$850k) but Pocklington got Eddie Mio and Peter Driscoll as well. Apparently if Skalbania had been a better backgammon player he'd've gotten an ownership stake in the Eulers as well. (At least that's the deal that the Winnigeg owner Michael Gobuty turned down.)
