The Vancouver Canucks pulled an historical series of trade that ended up marking 20 years of Vancouver sports.
In 1999, the Canucks' GM Brian Burke, wrote history and a recent video highlighted what truly happened. Burke traded like he was playing on a PlayStation and ultimately landed the 2nd and 3rd overall pick, along with a guarantee that neither one of the Sedins would be going first overall.
Here's the explanatory video:
The twins ended up playing both over 1300 NHL games, each one of them with the Canucks. Together, they collected over 2000 points and ended up being inducted in the prestigious Hockey Hall of Fame.
Hard to say that this wasn't the craziest and best series of trades in Canucks history.
