I missed most of that 30 for 30 special on the Gretzky trade....why did it happen?

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Oct 13 '09, 06:23

the best player, in his prime, for a hugely successful team....why would you trade him?

That'd be like the Bulls trading Jordan in 1993

- wait, I'm wrong, it was $15 million. But just the same. -- nm - Reagen Oct 13, 06:31 4
  - Were the Oilers finances in trouble or just greed? - Will Hunting Oct 13, 06:33 3
    - Not so much the Oilers as Pocklington's other businesses - Reagen Oct 13, 06:39
    - Pocklington had a bunch of other business problems, if I remember correctly. - Subversive Oct 13, 06:35 1
      - The Oil were so stacked that they won in '90 anyway. -- nm - Shaun Oct 13, 06:37
