Can't wait for a Jack Eichel trade tree in like 10 years

[ndrocca]

I’ve missed new trade trees and as a Flames fan I am doubly excited.

Also, ironic to hear Matteau without the MATTEAU MATTEAU MATTEAU mention.

As a life long flame fan I was born in cgy in 85 iginla was our best guy in the 90s glad he played most of his career here and his jersey retirement ceremony was special my two all time favourite flames will always be iginla and kipper

I think there’s a clip of a reporter betting Kent he couldn’t hit the cross bar from the blue line or maybe center on 3 attempts he does it with ease on his first shot and kinda smirks and skates off it’s great

Who the hell is Kent Nilsson? He's the Original Magic Man, that's who...

[mazukakai]

One of my favorite all time players...the magic man!

[ExtremeViper]

So excited about the trade tree videos coming. Take care and enjoy your time away Steve!

Stephane Matteau is actually the father of Stefan Mr. Dangle

Trade trees are back!!! They are amazing and wonderful to watch. Always very informative and give a great history on the historic players involved and shows how much the league has changed in its history

[ulmwilliams]

Not having Iggy pop up when you made that call at the end was a missed opportunity Steve #victorypuppy

Kent Nilsson might be one of the most underrated players in NHL HISTORY. He had 131 points one season, the Flames franchise record. Back in the day Gretzky said Kent Nilsson was the most skilled player he ever played against. Nilsson also had 2 dominant years in the WHA & when Nilsson went to Edmonton, which was one of the weirdest things ever to see (think of Gretzky or Messier in a Flames jersey), Kent played on a line with Messier and Anderson which was one of the coolest and most talented lines in Oilers history

I’m an oilers fan but iggy was and always will be my fav hockey player of all time. My idol growing up. Everything a hockey player should be on and off the ice! Thanks Steve!

Taking a look at the Craig Rivet to SJ trade tree would be interesting.

[canyonero]

Kent Nilsson was a beast. "The Forsberg" from the 94 olympics shootout is actually "The Kenta Nilsson".

[NLSNcs]

Wow I really really like the new intro and thumbnail. It looks so cool

[AW-shce]

Super excited for the Ryan O'Reilly trade tree; the second round pick that the Blues sent to the Sabres in 2021 changed hands 4 times before it got used so it should be a fun watch.

[OskarHellstroem]

Fun fact for y'all: Kent Nilsson inspired Peter Forsberg's trademark penalty shot 😊

[joshhale]

As a Stars fan, it would've been cool as hell to see Iginla as in a Stars jersey, but the Stars got a cup and Conn Smythe winner in that trade. So, I'd say both teams were winners there. I still have my Nieuwendyk signed Stars shirsey on my wall I've had since I was 6 when I got to meet him.

I like that you added music to these videos. Fun!
