![]() So what could the Flyers give up in this situation? However, due to the Canadiens not panic-trading him in this situation, the ask will be slightly higher than that. The return on him from the Avalanche was Andrei Kovalenko (a 3rd line forward at best), Martin Rucinsky (had his moments but was mainly a middle-six forward) and Jocelyn Thibault (average to eh goalie). Due to the falling out, as we know, Roy was traded for essentially nothing in hindsight. Therefore, I think it would be safe to assume that regardless of their falling out, the Canadiens might have been looking to trade Roy anyway. I can see why Roy would never want to play for Montreal after what Tremblay had done to him.Īround this time, both with and without Roy, Montreal were a bubble playoff team at best and by the end of the decade, they would frequently miss the playoffs. Not only is that appalling behavior, but it’s just plaid rude. He and Roy were known for their disputes, and reportedly Tremblay “regularly mock Roy’s English speaking abilities”. I will assume that Roy’s relationship with Montreal could not be resolved, since I won’t give Tremblay any credit where it is not due. Instead, Roy simply sits out the rest of the 1995-96 season waiting for a trade. This is due to the Avalanche not being the powerhouse that they were due to not making the Lindros trade while they were in Quebec. However, in this instance, Roy is not traded to Colorado. In the sense of fairness, I will assume that Roy and Montreal coach Mario Tremblay still fall out in that famous 11-1 loss. However, before making this trade, the subject of his career must be addressed. His name was mentioned in the comments on Chapter 2 a fair number of times, and I think he gives the Flyers the best chance of winning. Though in reality he was traded the season prior, I am thinking of trading for Patrick Roy. However, Belfour is not the guy whom I am interested in acquiring. With nearly 50% of the vote, you have chosen to make one big splash in the market for a goalie! However, unlike last episode, this player does not necessarily need to have been moved during the 1996-97 season.Įd Belfour was suggested in the comments, and interestingly he was moved during the 1996-97 season (traded from Chicago to San Jose). Below I have provided a list of options for things the Flyers could do heading into this year. ![]() With the 1996 NHL draft upcoming, and the 96-97’ season looming, I once again turn control over to you, the readers. They still have a core led by Peter Forsberg, Markus Naslund, John Leclair, and Eric Desjardins. “Though, despite this, the Flyers’ chances at a cup run are not dead. Last week on “Choose your own adventure…”
