The All-Milbury Team

[bonham1963]

Interesting information, that a friend compiled:

It took a bit of sorting through old transaction
records, but here is the team Milbury has traded away
since he became GM on Dec. 12, 1995:

Four forward lines:
Ziggy Palffy, Todd Bertuzzi, Martin Straka
Brian Smolinski, Trevor Linden, Brad Isbister
Tim Connolly, Claude Lapointe, Robert Reichel
Jan Hlavac, Olli Jokinen, Sergei Nemchinov
(honourable mentions: a young-ish Kirk Muller in 1996,
a second-overall pick that became Jason Spezza)

Six defencemen:
Wade Redden, Matthew Schneider
Darius Kasparitis, Bryan McCabe
Eric Brewer, Zdeno Chara
(honourable mentions: Bryan Berard with both eyes,
Scott Lachance)

Two goalies:
Roberto Luongo, Tommy Salo
(honourable mentions: Kevin Weekes, Chris Osgoode)

There are a few old guys sprinkled in there, but the
majority have many productive years ahead of them.
Think that team could win a cup?

what you have to remember is that Milbury had awful owners who couldn't afford to pay these players what they would demand once they became as good as they are now.

bad owners ruined it, not Milbury

You can't include players that were traded for each other....

Bryan McCabe, Todd Bertuzzi, and a draft pick going to Vancouver for Trevor Linden
