One of the worst trades the Philadelphia Flyers ever made was trading away Patrick Sharp and a depth piece player to the Chicago Blackhawks for a third round pick and another depth piece player. In 66 games, Sharp scored 10 goals and didn’t show former general manager Bobby Clarke enough to hold onto him. Clarke’s impatience in dealing with young players, unfortunately shown through here.
How’d it turn out? Sharp became one of the centerpieces of a Blachhawks dynasty, winning three Stanley Cups. In his first full year in Chicago, he scored 20 goals and started a stretch of scoring 20+ goals in seven of the next eight years.
