The Shocking NHL Trade Blunders That Could Cost Contenders the 2025 Conn Smythe Trophy

The case for: The Sharks offer quantity and quality. Burns has been a key piece for the Hurricanes, not to mention the league’s top OGWAC story. Walman has been a key addition to the Oilers’ blue line. And Granlund has been one of the deadline’s biggest impact players, including having a hat trick in a crucial 3-1 win against the Jets.
The case against: While those are all good players having legitimate impacts on this year’s playoffs, were any of those trades bad for the Sharks? That’s part of what the “Conned” in Conned Smythe is supposed to mean, and I doubt the Sharks want a do-over on any of those deals. Burns was a salary dump, and Mike Grier added first-round picks in the other two moves.
