I must have been born yesterday! Guess who (and guess before you google.)
09-Oct-96: Detroit Red Wings traded Paul Coffey, Keith Primeau and 1st round selection (Nikos Tselios) in 1997 to the Hartford Whalers for THIS PLAYER and Brian Glynn. 27-Jul-95: St. Louis Blues traded THIS PLAYER to the Hartford Whalers from Chris Pronger. 25-Jul-91: Signed as a free agent by the St. Louis Blues. 13-Jun-87: Drafted by the New Jersey Devils in the 1st round (2nd overall) in 1987.
25-Jul-91: Signed as a free agent by the St. Louis Blues.
Trivia for you. Shanny was restricted at the time and St.Louis already owed washington draft picks for a previous free agent signing so the standard compensation of first round draft picks was not available. What player or players were awarded to the Devils as compensation for losing shannahan??
