The One NHL Trade Every Fan Wishes They Could Erase—And Why It Still Haunts Their Team

Edmonton Oilers
2015 first- and second-round picks for Griffin Reinhart (2015)
This is the worst trade in the Connor McDavid era. The Oilers sent two high picks to the Islanders for Reinhart, a defenseman selected fourth in 2012 and someone the organization knew well because he’d captained the local WHL Oil Kings. Reinhart played just 29 games for the Oilers and was selected by Vegas in the 2017 expansion draft. The Isles nabbed Mathew Barzal at 16. Kyle Connor, Thomas Chabot, Joel Eriksson Ek, Brock Boeser, Travis Konecny and Jack Roslovic were still available, too. — Daniel Nugent-Bowman
