It was a move that sent shockwaves around the NHL.
When Winnipeg Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff made his first NHL player for NHL player trade, it turned out to be a blockbuster.
That move — which brought defenceman Tyler Myers, forwards Drew Stafford, Joel Armia, Brendan Lemieux and a first-round pick that turned into centre Jack Roslovic and sent defenceman Zach Bogosian, forward Evander Kane and the rights to college goalie Jason Kasdorf — was made one year ago Wednesday.
It’s obvious that the two clubs were in very different places at the time of the trade.
