Although I wouldn’t say the Gleason and Belanger for JJ trade sucked for LA, Carolina didn’t exactly lose that one either. Gleason is turning out to be a top 4 stay at home guy.

True. I really liked both of those guys.

That’s why I liked the Smolinski/Gleason trade. And I liked Smoke, too.

Wait till this year.

I can't believe

…you didn’t personally include the Dionne trade among the worst trades of the pre-1980s.
