Great vid. So basically the Lindros trade was a Herschel Walker-like dynasty-maker.

Steve Dangle does a whole series of them on his Sportsnet YT channel. The Gretzky one is nearly an hour long due to how massive the tree is. But they are all well worth the time if you're a sports/hockey nerd, like I am. The Kent Nilsson from Calgary is my favorite one, if I had to choose.

Two things: first, those Sportsnet trade tree videos are fantastic. I'm patiently waiting a few more years for a Jack Eichel to Vegas one. Second, "what if" QC stuck in Quebec? Imagine instead of the fierce Western Conference Colorado-Detroit rivalry, it was Detroit-QC in the FINALS!

One big question you ignored when asking if Roy would accept a trade to Quebec City, is would the Montreal trade him to a provincial rival, my guess no

I said that in the next sentence! But Roy is definitely THE biggest puzzle piece around Colorado's '96 Cup that might not have been intact if the Nordiques don't move.

Sorry I guess my reading comprehension is not as good as I think it is.
