Tyler Seguin just lit up his former team, the Boston Bruins, for a hat trick. His performance revived the big trade debate and Steve Dangle explains why it was a mistake for the Bruins to trade him.
I would have never traded Seguin. If they let him aged he would a been a star in Boston. It's like Kyle Turris with Arizona. They didn't like his attitude so they traded him to Ottawa. And 4 years later he is a star and the number one center in Ottawa
Had BOS traded him just after drafting him, yeah sure. But not after he showed he had the potential to be the best player on BOS in a few years. That was a huge huge huge mistake.
I'm pretty sure Seguin doesn't care if he makes $5.75M or $8M. He will still make a filthy lot of money AND maybe money isn't all for an athlete. Sure, someone like Ovi may have more fun when he checks his bank account, but then again, Seguin has won the cup.
Bruins are more of tough gritty pain in the ass team, while the Stars are good defensively they are dynamic rush team. If Seguin goes back to the Bruins today does he still put up 80+ points? Maybe??? But you can't compare his point totals cause it's a completely different system, team (players), and conference.
So let me ask a simple question. Would you still take Taylor Hall ahead of Tyler Seguin? My answer then and now is NO NO NO!!! Boston may not have allowed him have the freedom on the ice he gets in Dallas but still he would be their best offensive player. As a Hawk fan Patrice Bergeron will always be #1 in Boston.
Dal gets Seguin & Peverley(Retired) Bos gets Eriksson,Smith(Traded to FLA for Hayes)Fraser(Gone)Morrow
From first glance of the original trade Bruins def lose, Seguin is one hell of a player,But He would of never gotten to be #1 C here cause the Bruins Love Krejci & Bergeron too much, I think they could of got a lot more with the trade(same goes for hamilton)
Honestly,I still like the deal the way it has turned out, its makes Boston a more complete team,Eriksson is finding his game & has been the most consistent forward for Boston in all 3 zones, Hayes has looked great (Never liked Smith) Morrow has the potential to be a top 4 d man.
I'll take a well balanced team over just one superstar any day of the week,but if the Bruins don't resgin Eriksson or trade him for something good,this deal will haunt the Bruins for a long time.
I remember hearing about the trade when it happened, and I spent days trying to figure out what rational reason the Bruins had to trade Seguin to Dallas. And even funnier, Boston kinda did a sequel to that this past summer in getting rid of Lucic and Hamilton, while they aren't on the same level as Seguin, it still makes as much sense as the Seguin trade, in that it doesn't make a lick of sense.
For one thing, and although I know this doesn't really answer the question…How do you like them apples?: Brad Marchand? MORE goals than Seguin AND Benn as of March 12, 2016! Ok, now Loui Eriksson is having a great year. 26 goals, 3rd in Boston. He's up there with Tavares, Duchene, Malkin, Perry, and Gaudreau. He's a huge offensive force for the Bruins, and he deserves credit.
Seguin also didn't really fit the Bruins style. They even said in a behind the scenes during the trade that he was going to be an amazing player but he didn't fit the style of play. Having said that, it still stings that they traded him. If we would've kept him we could've put him on a line with lucic for a while and made sure that nobody took runs at him
The reason he was traded was 1 his 2013 playoff performance 2 always in the news off the ice 3 they were screwed with he cap that year they had to lose Andrew ference Nathan Horton and seguin they signed Bergeron and krecji to insane contracts they also couldn't re sign jarome iginla because of the cap
Not even hindsight. Was always a stupid choice. Perhaps he would not have flourished as strongly in Boston, but he'd still have become a damn good player and a bargain for his salary.
This is the first video I saw of Steve. It's interesting to see how Seguin is called a defensive pariah in here 3 years ago. I suppose Montgomery didn't see that in him. I still like the trade.

Seguin was stupid to sign that long of a deal. He should have signed a short deal – then stuck it to them in UFA. Hope he is a leaf one day….

Don cherry gets slashed
1 goal in 22 games in the 2013 nhl playoffs? no thanks
Im so glad they traded him. I love watching him play on my Stars with Jamie Benn. Its always fun to watch them

Of course it was a mistake… Besides Ovechkin, he's the best goal scorer in the league.
FCing Loui erikson
As a Bruins fan, it hurt just to read the title of this video. I'll never get over that lost trade.

I justify seguin being traded because he didn't fit and my favourite player went to my now favourite team from my least favourite.
Seguin was traded bc he had an affair with hortons wife
I could not agree with you more
I know someone that trained Tyler Seguin….He doesn't even know If he's good… and forgot his name…
Not even hindsight. Was always a stupid choice. Perhaps he would not have flourished as strongly in Boston, but he'd still have become a damn good player and a bargain for his salary.
The Seguin trade is the worst trade Boston has ever made
How dare you not mention Patrick Kane in the scoring hello. He won the Art Ross trophy that year and the stanley cup 3 times yeah
This is the first video I saw of Steve. It's interesting to see how Seguin is called a defensive pariah in here 3 years ago. I suppose Montgomery didn't see that in him.
I still like the trade.
Ya know he should have scored that hat WITH BOSTON but they traded there star prospect for a bunch of junk
I can justify it simply because my team benefited from the trade!
Here we are 4 years later, and now he's in the Stanley Cup Finals again, this time with Dallas! #GoStars
Seguin was messing around with hortons wife. Thats why he was traded. Both guys needed a fresh start.
I'd like to see this trade tree. Benn being so prominent is so nostalgic these days lol
Seguin was traded because he had an affair with Bathan Horton's wife
