Teemu Selanne Trade From Winnipeg Jets To Anaheim Reactions

They were paring down the team salary prior to the move to Phoenix!

it did seem like a good trade, young skilled defenseman tverdovsky and 4th overall pick kilger and a 2nd round draft pick

Not sure HOW that was a good trade....Teemu Selanne = Heart & Soul of the Winnipeg Jets, for 2 no names ( who turned out to be nothing...) and a 2nd round draft pick for the Coyotes.

How did you come up with your good trade scenario?

Bring'Em Back!

I sat through many losing seasons with the Isles, horrible seasons that weren't worth 2 dollars.

But sitting in those stands is always a treat, no matter if you suck or not, it's still hockey.

And hockey to me means everything........and I am American.

John "punching back" Paddock.

of course he has duck spirit

No such thing, no one gives two shits about hockey in Orange grove country.

The Kings, as horrible pathetic as they are, trump the Ducks fan base. That says a-lot since the Ducks actually won a cup.

I was a Selanne fan (and Jets fan) since his rookie year, having seen him score goal #40-something against the Kings in 93. Of course I was thrilled to have him come to Anaheim a couple of years later. (though I'm a longtime Winnepeg fan as well, thanks to him) It's a shame that Winnepeg had to break up the Olympic Line, but let's face it, trades are a part of hockey. (don't forget, Kilger, Kariya, and Tverdovsky were all considered "untradeable" by the Ducks at that time.)

What's funny is that the stands shown in this video still looks less empty than most Atlanta Trashers games, yet the Trashers claims they draw 15K per game

dumber trade is winnipeg for phoenix
