Description
There's no denying the impact of dramatic trades on NHL success and Stanley Cup glory. From their evolution as simple player-for-player swaps to the current version of trading draft picks, cash, future considerations, salary-cap space or actual human beings, the art of swapping assets in the NHL has become a science, an art and an accounting exercise.
From Phil Esposito to the Bruins (1967), Wayne Gretzky to the Kings (1988), and Patrick Roy to the Avalanche (1995), Deal With It tracks the back stories behind the most impactful trades in modern NHL history, from 1967 expansion right up to the present. There's also major transactions such as Doug Gilmour to the Maple Leafs, Frank Mahovlich to the Red Wings and the trade-inspired birth of the Vegas Golden Knights, that get delved into.
With detailed analysis and keen insight into eight monumental deals, Deal With It recalls the moments when hockey history was irrevocably changed. There also is a ranking of the Top 25 trades in NHL History with the authors presenting their own differing lists for comparison. The father/son duo of Bruce and Evan Dowbiggin create a fitting sequel to the highly-rated Inexact Science.
