What trade did the Chicago Blackhawks make and why is it significant?

Adam Wylde 0:06
It truly is amazing that in consecutive decades, the Chicago Blackhawks have made the worst trade of a decade. And you know what's great about this is that they both happened on the exact same day, nine years apart. Sod for Panarin? Sod for Panarin happened June 23rd, 2017.
See, sometimes, you know, the negative nantes sitting next to me always take the negative side of things. You know, they always lean into what they are. And you should look at this. How did I get lumped into this? What did I do?
Adam Wylde 0:46
You should look at this as. You did a whole video about how it sucks ass. Yeah. I know.
Thank you for answering the question. Garbage. Fleecing. No. This is. Back to back. What is it? How long was it?
Adam Wylde 1:04
Eight years? Nine. Nine years.
2017 to 2020. Wow. Nine years after he did the fleecing the first time, Yarmulke does it again. This is a celebration of the trade master dumping on Chicago. We should be celebrating Yarmulke because he made both of these trades. And that's fucking insane. You know, it's great to all the fame trading.
Adam Wylde 1:30
You know what's great too? Yarmulke has one good trade a decade and this is it. It's amazing. Back to the regularly scheduled programming. There it is. There it is. This is the first time that a team knowingly traded a top five pick in 18 years. Right. They've been traded. Plenty of teams have been stupid and done it by accident. The Leafs. Stutzla and also, yeah, the Leafs. Yeah, but for reference, the Chicago Blackhawks during the Conor Bedard era, his ELC, have not finished higher than 31st.
Oh, can you give us that player, the top five traded pick? You should know it. Wait, which? Luke Shen. 2008. That's when the Leafs swapped the pick. Oh, they got the pick. Yeah.
Jesse Blake 2:11
Sorry, I thought you were talking about Tyler Sagan. No, they didn't.

How did the negative impact of previous trades affect current decisions?

Jesse Blake 2:13
No, I guess, actually. No, they did at the time. No, no. Like when they made the Kessel trade, they didn't know they were giving up the second overall pick. But when they acquired the fifth overall pick for Luke Shen, they didn't know.
That's the 2008. That's the last time it happened. Right. That's Luke Shen. So Leafs always involved. Yeah.
Adam Wylde 2:28
So again, for reference, the Chicago Blackhawks have not finished higher than 31st for the entirety of Conor Bedard's entry level contract, which has expired for those who do not remember. And this is where I find fans like I'm like, I know how old you are. Hmm. Because people were like, excuse me, because I called Stan Bowman a not great general manager because he's not. And people are like, he won three cups. What the fuck are you talking about? And I'm like, yeah, when you step into a loaded Ferrari that's already warmed up, you probably can just manage to keep the wheels on for a few years. But eventually you got to change tires and you got to change head gaskets and you got to put brakes on the thing.
Adam Wylde 3:06
And. Stan Bowman's team truly was the post-2015 team where Taze and Kane were starting to make $10.5 million. Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook were starting to fall off, and he was not able to keep it together.
Jesse Blake 3:19
$10.5 back then was a lot.
Adam Wylde 3:22
In a $70, $65 million cap era, right? For those who do not remember, let me give it to you. June 2017 to the 23rd of June, blockbuster trade Artemi Panarin from the Chicago Blackhawks to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for Brandon Saad. In addition, Tyler Mott and a sixth rounder also went to Columbus. Tyler Mott. Tyler Mott, who was a player. He was very much a thing. Panarin, Mott, and a sixth. Mott never... White hit what we thought he could be, but he had a career. And Anton Forsberg, who turned out to be a pretty good goalie from time to time, and a fifth-round pick went to Chicago. Now, Saad went on to play three more seasons with the Blackhawks. He had 220 games, 62 goals, 106 points. Nine playoff games in that time, five points.
Adam Wylde 4:09
Since the trade, including his entire career, And he was in the Stanley Cup Finals this year with the Vegas Golden Knights. 297 points in 616 games since that trade. Which is half a point a game. Good. Respectable. It is guy. Artemi Panarin played two seasons with the Blackhawks.
