Chuck Fletcher Award (best trade) & Glen Sather Award (the worst trade)

Chuck Fletcher Award (best trade)
- Goes to Toronto for picking up Rinne which could be a franchise changing trade next season. In no way was this a bad move by Nashville as they picked up 2 early picks in the draft and two good young players

Glen Sather Award (the worst trade)
The worst trade came down to these three for me.

This trade was done just prior to the entry draft last year. It is a good trade for Vancouver if the players were still on their team and I still would have liked to have Schneider as a starting goalie at 2m for 2 years.

This trade was good at the time but now I would much rather have Luongo who should get traded and become a starter in the off-season. Lindback has been relegated to a backup role with acquisition of Bishop by . Calgary also received Edler but gave up a top defensive prospect in Murphy and likely won't retain Edler into next season. This trade just ended up not working out due to actions in the NHL.

Moving out 4 goalies in a deal will ultimately get you considered for this award. 1 of the two Minnesota goalies should be a start in the next 1 to 2 years due to the age of Backstorm and the health of Harding. Couple that with the 3 solid prospects given in Cerevanka, Foligno, and Chiasson along with an upper round pick. Philly did get Crawford but at one heck of a price especially since Crawford has been the 20th overall goalie since the trade.

After all that being said I am going with the for The Glen Sather Award as that trade just didn't work out for them.

I don't agree with the idea of voting for a best and worst trade - everyone has their reasons for making the deals, and reading the comments you made on my trade that you nominated is proof that you are not looking at things with the circumstance that the trade was voted in.

And if a deal is really that bad, we have the trade committee to keep things in place.

So I say we have a discussion on the merits of having a best and worst trade award.

It is simple an opinion based award but I transferred it from league vote to commissioner vote because GMs don't like being mean. I don't think any of these trades were horrible deals. I also was trying to eliminate circumstance and just look at the deal.
Sorry didn't mean to offend.

Which is why I feel we do not need this award.

Oh I see, your talking about dissolving these 2 awards. I thought you wanted a league vote on it instead of commissioner vote. I would be ok with dissolving them as I was debating doing that before I changed it to commissioner decided.
If anyone has other awards we could add, I find these awards (overall) one of the most fun parts of the league.
