THE STORY
In 1986, the Vancouver Canucks traded forward Cam Neely to the Boston Bruins. Neely went on to become a Hall of Famer and a franchise icon in Boston. The Canucks received Barry Pederson in return, who played only 20 games for Vancouver before being traded again.

WHY IT MATTERS
The trade is often cited as a significant misstep by the Canucks' management, as Neely's success in Boston highlighted the disparity in value between the players exchanged.
