Barry Pederson to Vancouver for Cam Neely and a 1st round pick (Glen Wesley)

Wesley was traded to Hartford for 3 1st round picks (Kyle McLaren, Jonathan Aitken, Sergei Samsonov)

McLaren and a 4th round pick were traded to San Jose for Jeff Hackett and Jeff Jillson. Hackett as a free agent, but Jillson was traded to San Jose for Brad Boyes, who later was traded to St. Louis for Dennis Wideman.

Aitken did nothing and eventually was released.

Samsonov was traded to Edmonton for Marty Reasoner, Yan Stastny, and a 2nd round pick. Reasoner as a free agent. Stastny was flipped to St. Louis for a 5th round pick (Dennis Reul), and the 2nd rounder was used to take Milan Lucic.

So, nearly 23 years after trading away Barry Pederson, this trade is still paying dividends in the form of Dennis Wideman and Milan Lucic.

Absolutely awesome bud

I just love the Wesley deal so much. B's got 7 damn good years out of him, and still cashed in to the tune of 3 1sts. Unheard of value.

All those big trades back then seemed to do well, but as we know, the free agent/system talent was never pieced together well enough to finish the deal at the end.

Just stole your entire bit about still "reaping the benefits" from the Wesley trade.

The B's need to get rid of Fernandez, I dont care for what, and try and free up some cap room to acquire a handed shot like Tkachuk.

I have been saying that for weeks, too bad he hasn't won a game in over a month, kinda makes his value go way down.

He sucks. Playing on your knees the whole time and trying to catch everything above it just doesn't get it done. He commits to his knees when they reach the circle.

B s get Recchi, Montador

The Bruins, who look like they are done dealing, have made two trades today -- getting right wing Mark Recchi (above) and defenseman Steve Montador while giving up Petteri Nokelainen, Matt Lashoff, and Martins Karsums.

I guess with the play of Hunwick, Lashoff became expendable. Nokelainen was having difficulty making an impact on the NHL level and Karsums has been lost in the system. Recchi has a proven track record in the playoffs and might be a stabilizing force in the locker room for the plethora of young talent the B's have (kinda thinking the Ron Francis effect in Carolina) and Montador has some playoff experience and some decent offensive skills.

Mark Recchi (R) scored twice as the Bruins snapped a three-game winless streak with a 5-3 win over the Blackhawks...

Who scored twice? That old guy...you know, the one you didn't want.

Who ever said we didn't want him?

Have I mentioned that Manny Fernandez sucks? He shouldn't be anywhere near the rink come playoff time. I wouldn't even give him endzone balcony seats.
