Editor Note: This is a re-post of something I put together about 4 years ago. In a couple days I'll have a post up about how quickly the Canucks disintegrated after their Stanley Cup run of 1994. First things first. Check out these beauty moves by Pat Quinn back in the day.
Here are some pieces that the Canucks put together to create their 1994 SuperTeam:
September 1987- New Jersey traded Greg Adams and Kirk McLean to Vancouver for Patrick Sundstrom and Canucks' 4th round pick Matt Ruchty. (Matt who??)
Montreal traded Gerald Diduck to Vancouver for draft pick Vladimir Vujtek in January 1991.
In March 1991, St. Louis traded Geoff Courtnall, Cliff Ronning, Sergio Momesso, Robert Dirk, and futures to Vancouver for Dan Quinn and Garth Butcher. Thanks Blues!
June 1991- Minnesota traded Dave Babych to Vancouver for Tom Kurvers.
March 1993- Hartford traded Murray Craven and a pick to Vancouver for Robert Kron. Vancouver then completed the deal in May by sending Jim Sandlak to Hartford.
January 1994- Vancouver signed Martin Gelinas off of waivers from Quebec.
February 1994- Vancouver signed Brian Glynn off waivers from Ottawa.
March 1994- Vancouver traded Craig Janney to St. Louis for Bret Hedican, Jeff Brown, and Nathan Lafayette.
Wow...then combine these guys with the likes of Linden and Bure and head into the 1994 playoffs to whoop some serious ass! Canuck fans should toast Pat Freaking Quinn for this once in a while!!!

Wow, lots of guts and character players on that cup run.

Most of deals did resemble Houle's, some were worse.

Don't forget...
…Janney was awarded to Vancouver for St Loius’ signing of Petr Nedved. So basically it was Nedved for Hedican, Brown and Lafayette in a forced deal.
Gods, I’m still pissed off with Nedved.
Really? I’m very thankful to the guy. We wouldn’t have made the finals without Brown and Hedican MAJORLY bolstering our D.
Here’s how I think it went down:
“Hi guys, I’m Petr Nedved and I’m a total douche and a cancer on the team, so why don’t I just go elsewhere and in return, mind you after a lot of wrangling, you can get integral pieces that will allow you to make it to game 7 of the SCF! Ok bye!”
As a result, our D was
Lumme-Murzyn
Brown-Diduck
Hedican-Babych
with Glynn (who ended up playing a lot and well) and Plavsic as extras.
Such a SICK D-core we had!

I don’t think we’ve had as good a set of defenders since then… perhaps this new group?

Nedved, what a clown. Hated that guy. Yeah this current group is the best Canucks D I’ve seen. On paper anyway.
Just think though, the Rangers had Leetch, Zubov, Beukeboom (although he got injured), Karpovstev, Gilbert, Lidster, and Wells. Insane!

If you mean Greg Gilbert, he was a forward, boss.
A creep from the cradle, but a hero's what I want to be
why do I repeatedly mix that up? huh. Thanks, Smo

no not at all. I’ve had this mixed up for years

This dates back a long time. I thought he was a D on the Islanders even. Ah…drugs

Don't ask me about the Canucks 1994 Stanley Cup run, I was too young for it.
it makes me sad. On one hand I’m glad for you that you’re so young but on the other hand, that 1994 experience was so insanely fucking cool
