The One NHL Trade Every Fan Wishes They Could Erase—And Why It Still Haunts Their Team
Utah Mammoth/Arizona Coyotes
Danny Briere and 2004 third-round pick for Chris Gratton and 2004 fourth-round pick (2003)
The Coyotes soured on Briere in a down year and shipped him to the Sabres for Gratton at the 2003 trade deadline. Gratton only stayed for one underwhelming year in Phoenix. Briere, meanwhile, immediately became one of the Sabres’ top scorers, including a career-best 95 points in the 2006-07 season. To make matters worse, the third-round pick the Coyotes sent became Andrej Sekera, who carved out a strong 842-game NHL career. — Harman Dayal
