Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Peter Forsberg was traded to Quebec for Eric Lindros in 1992. Along with Forsberg, draft picks and money with 5 other players. Which one of these was not part of the trade?

Answer: Martin Rucinsky

Steve Duchesne, Ron Hextall, Kerry Huffman, Mike Ricci, Chris Simon, future considerations, a 1st round pick in the 1993 draft, a 1st round pick in the 1994 draft, and cash were sent to the Quebec Nordiques for Eric Lindros.

2. Wayne Gretzky was traded from Los Angeles to St. Louis in 1996. Which of the following players was not received by Los Angeles?

Answer: Mike Krushelnyski

Los Angeles also received a first round pick in 1997 (Matt Zultek). The trade seemed lopsided in that St. Louis was getting Gretzky, but he only played 18 total games for the Blues. He went on to sign with the New York Rangers the following season.

3. Who did Ottawa get from the NY Islanders for Alexei Yashin in 2001?

Answer: Zdeno Chara

Along with Chara and Bill Muckalt, Ottawa received a first round pick that they used to draft Jason Spezza.

4. When Calgary traded Joe Nieuwendyk to Dallas in 1995, what prospect did they receive along with Corey Millen?

Answer: Jarome Iginla

Nieuwendyk ended up helping Dallas win a Stanley Cup in 1999.

5. Who did the Vancouver Canucks trade to the Pittsburgh Penguins for 1st round pick Markus Naslund in 1996?

Stojanov played a total of 107 NHL games scoring 2 goals and collecting 222 penalty minutes. Naslund had over 300 with the Canucks.

6. Who did Washington get from the NY Rangers in 2004 for Jaromir Jagr?

Answer: Anson Carter

Jagr was coming off a 121-point season when traded by Pittsburgh, but he never surpassed 79 points in Washington.

7. When the Vancouver Canucks re-acquired Trevor Linden in 2001, they traded a first round pick. Who did the Capitals select with this pick?

Answer: Boyd Gordon

Linden had been one of the most popular players in Vancouver Canucks history. His trade in 1998 (although an excellent trade for the Canucks - for Bryan McCabe and Todd Bertuzzi) ripped the heart out of the Canucks. It was no coincidence they struggled for a few years after the trade.

8. When Patrick Roy was traded to Colorado in 1995, what young goalie did Montreal receive in return?

Answer: Jocelyn Thibault

Roy was traded for Mike Keane for Jocelyn Thibault, Martin Rucinsky and Andrei Kovalenko. Roy and the Avalanche went on to win the cup that year.

9. Who did Toronto get from the Sharks in 2003 for Brad Boyes and Alyn McAuley?

Answer: Owen Nolan

San Jose also received a 1st round pick that became Mark Stuart.

10. How many times was Brent Ashton traded in his career?

Answer: 9

Ashton was originally drafted by the Vancouver Canucks. He was then traded to Winnipeg, Colorado (Rockies, not Avalanche), New Jersey, Minnesota, Quebec, Detroit, back to Winnipeg, to Boston, and finally to Calgary. He played 998 games in his NHL career, scoring 20 goals 7 times.
