Jean,

Wasn’t that trade David Poile’s mistake?

    agreed, that was Poile’s trade and the caps cinderella finals against detroit does not happen if Carey is not traded/Ranford hurt to let Kolzig shine AND it does not happen without Oates getting traded to washington as well.

    Getting Jurcina may be like when poile got johannson(sp) from buffalo and even Cote from hartford.

    It most certainly was Poile’s trade. Anson Carter, Jason Allison and Jim Carey were traded to Boston on March 1, 1997 for Adam Oates, Rick Tocchet and Bill Ranford. McPhee became GM on June 7, 1997. But hell, Mcphee gets blamed for everything else, might as well pin that one on him as well.

    My apologies - that blunder was Poile’s, I forgot exactly when McPhee took the reins. You have not assuaged my fears though - McPhee has presided over some of the worst trades in hockey history. (Jagr???) How long will we get to keep someone like Jurcina?

    Forgive me, but didn’t Anson Carter come back to Washington as part of the Jagr deal, only to be traded again after a mere 19 games?
