'The first time I saw it, I went, ‘What the hell is this?’'

Recency bias might point some Canucks fans to the Oliver Ekman-Larsson trade, which will have a deleterious effect on the Canucks’ salary cap through 2031.

Two years after the trade, the Canucks were in the Stanley Cup Final, with Tiger playing a key role. He was a burr in the backside of opponents with his chippy, physical game, but also put up 10 points in 17 games, including the overtime gamewinner in Game 2 against the Calgary Flames in the first round.

Then there was Vaive, who had already proven himself in professional hockey with the NHL’s rival, the WHA. His 59 points in 75 games led the Birmingham Bulls in scoring before the WHA collapsed and he entered the NHL draft as one of the top prospects. "That is one [trade] I wouldn't make again." Vaive scored 33 goals in his first season with the Leafs, then, in the 1981-82 season, he erupted for 54 goals. It was the first 50-goal season in Maple Leafs history and it stood as a franchise record for 40 years until Auston Matthews scored 60 goals in the 2021-22 season.

Or, in the case of the hockey card industry, the airbrushing efforts were significantly more rushed and slipshod. Hockey cards were for kids, after all, and could be purchased for pennies a pack at the time, so artists didn’t have a lot of time to produce beautiful results.
