Michael Farber at Sports Illustrated,
When asked recently during a radio interview if the Roberto Luongo trade to Vancouver prior to the 2006-07 season was the worst in the history of the sport, Florida Panthers coach and general manager Jacques Martin answered “True.”
Maybe this is a stretch. After all, the Montreal Canadiens handed Colorado what amounted to three Stanley Cups when they traded goalie Patrick Roy to the Avalanche in December 1995.
continued… *a look at a few other “worst ever” trades around the NHL, plus a closer look at what’s happened in Florida

joe thornton for marco sturm, brad stuart and wayne primeau. and by the way, Tony McKegney was part of that Oates trade too. don’t want to forget about the impact that he had.

I’ve been reading Farber for years, and all this time I never knew he couldn’t count.
