The Day after the trade, I was running for the elevator in Manulife Place to get to my office. The elevatoer was closing and I wasnt gonna make it. An arm came from within the elevator door to hold it for me.....It was Wayne Gretzky. That is what a class act that man was. You would think with all the media attention that the "Trade " created, he would want some privacy, but not Wayne. All he could think of at that second was to hold the door for me. I will never forget it.

You could compare it to the New england Patriots trading away tom brady after the 2004 Superbowl or you could compare it to the Boston Red Sox trading way Babe Ruth. Gretzky being traded was shocking and truly signalled the dismatalling of one of the great teams of the 20th Century.

this guy had to be the biggest idiot in all of pro sports right up there with the schmuck that trade babe ruth to the yankees

Wayne Gretzky apparently was given the option to back out of this trade before we all knew he was being traded,according to what he said in the King's Ransom documentary,but decided it would be a great business move and not to mention a new challenge for him.Yeah,we can all speculate about what might have been in Edmonton had they kept that together,but that team wasn't destined to retire together in Edmonton.

Despite this trade, the Oilers STILL won the Cup AGAIN in '90 with a player I STILL say was better, Mark Messier! Mess proved TWICE he could win without Gretzky, carrying the '94 Rangers in Game 6 against the Devils. Gretzky was great, I won't dispute that, but he could not carry a team the way Mess could! Gretzky would NEVER win another Cup. Sad!

This trade fucked the NHL and made it so we have to watch bullshit teams play in front of 10k fans in some of the most non hockey markets ever fucking Nunavut could sell out more then Atlanta and Florida

@raddman20031960 Still don't comprehend your criticism dude and yes I have a college education! Like what are you trying to state in your critque? What are you trying to state "trash talking me"? Wayne was sold off buy Pocklington and that scum bag ended up behind bars! He was never going to pay him 10 million bucks a year like the Kings did! He was better off financially in the long run so really do not COMPRHEND your cricism and I am a EDUCATED person idiot so please explain smartass?!

[raddman20031960]

@TheGeorgecostanza it means exactly what it says. Learn how to read and maybe you will comprehend it.

@raddman20031960 What the hell is that suppose to mean dude? What I stated is true! I've met Walter out here many times as he frequents Vancouver on many occasions for local kids hockey tourneys so what the hell is your remark supposed to be stating?
