Hawks still had gigachad belfour which is just unreal they had both at one point
Daze was a steal for a 4th rounder, even if he didn’t pan out in time.
He then went on to make me fall in love with hockey. Hasek was unbelievable during his height. Slinky for a spine!
For CHI: 25GP. 13-4-2
Lol, was a Blackhawks game in Chicago against the Predators and the fans were calling him Eric Daisy, and chanted Toby Keith!
And all they got was one SCF appearance….
A lot of people shred Chicago for this trade because in hindsight it looks really bad, but at the time when you have 2 high potential goaltenders with one being a vezina winner you gotta move one of them and it’s not the guy who won a vezina.
Shame they got so little for him but it’s not the first or last time a player became a franchise talent after getting traded for peanuts. The upsetting thing as a Hawks fan is that it wouldn’t be the last time it would happen either, Artemi Panarin comes to mind.
So, what’s the consensus on who won this trade?
Fun facts about the trade:
– hasek recorded +5.1 GSAA in 25 games in chicago which is an excellent small sample size
– in 1990 Hasek finished with a .921 sv% in the Czech league when league average was around .880
– Hasek in his draft year posted the highest u18 sv% relative to in league history, should’ve been drafted way higher
Nothing about hasek is hindsight 20/20 the league just collectively flubbed the situation horribly
The Flopper off to Buffalo.
Each team went to a final and basically fizzled out around the same time I believe after 1998-99.
As Steve dangle said the hawks did better in this trade than they had any right to and somehow they still lost.
