Today we have a trade between the Vancouver Canucks and the New Jersey Devils. Why do we have this? Because it turns out this trade benefitted both teams in very different ways (at least as far as timing). What we do know is that the Canucks got themselves a goalie and the Devils got themselves a guy who could score. This moment comes from 24 years ago and just seems hard to believe this occurred right around training camp yet it did.
September 15, 1987
New Jersey traded Greg A. Adams and Kirk McLean to Vancouver in exchange for Patrick Sundstrom and Vancouver’s fourth round choice (Matt Ruchty) in 1988 Entry Draft.
