Eric Lindros

Forsberg got traded before he came over...

Indeed, Forsberg got traded for Lindros. Both were essentially unproven NHL rookies with a lot of potential. Hindsight being what it is, would anyone take Lindros over Forsberg?

Not likely even though Pete has had plenty of injuries himself...... another wonderful trade by Bobbie the punk.

I think Lindros coulda been better than Forsberg. Even Forsberg as good as he is played behind Joe Sakic.

but, yeah- quite a wonderful trade, 'sarcastically speaking' of course... since Philly went to the basement and Colorado won a few Stanley Cups largely because of the players that went Colo's way.

Forsberg was part of like 5 players plus millions of dollars for rights to Lindros... grossly over-compensated...

Sundin was mainly traded for Wendel Clark if I can recall...

Although not popular at the time, I think we can agree that was a great deal for the Leafs.
