Rarely would we put such a light hearted moment in on the day before free agency but this one just tops them all.  “Trading Places” fans will love this especially.  The moment occurred 18 years ago today and Detroit got a gritty player that helped them win titles all for a bargain basement price in exchange.  Indeed the gods were smiling with Detroit on this day in history.

With the Frenzy just a day away, we go back to a time where rights where actually traded surprisingly enough.  This moment happened seven years ago and it must still feel like a dagger to every New York Ranger fan.  Most probably still remember it like it was yesterday.  So here is a little video and moment time.
