Montreal Canadiens: The stars of 1993 vs the players they were traded for

As crazy as it may seem, its been 27 years since the Montreal Canadiens won their last Stanley Cup. With an NHL season filled with superstars like Mario Lemieux, Wayne Gretzky, Ed Belfour, Paul Coffee, etc. the Canadiens came out on top against all odds, reeling off 11 straight OT playoff wins in the process.

However, things quickly derailed after that magical run, missing the playoffs 2 years later, and not making it past the 2nd round of the playoffs until 2010. Most of the core of that 1993 team was dissolved over a few years, and the hiring of Rejean Houle as GM and an overall sense of panic from the organization only made matters worse.
