Steve Dangle goes back and looks at the 2011 Alexei Kovalev Trade that saw the Ottawa Senators send Kovalev to the Pittsburgh Penguins for a conditional pick and how that deal turned into goaltender Matt Murray 9-years later.

these trade trees are banger videos, keep 'em coming
Kovalev should have finished his career as a hab
Bro can we get some different music on this thing? Change it up a bit?? I really like trade trees tho so respect ✊
Matt Murray sucks anyway
How about the Gretzky trade tree.
Hurts to watch Matt go for a freaking second and a fringe third liner…
In 2010 the Senators traded backup goalie Alex Auld to the Dallas Stars for a 6th round pick. The Sens used that pick to draft Mark Stone.
In 1992 the expansion Ottawa Senators drafted Alexei Yashin with their first ever draft pick. Yashin was then traded to the Islanders for Chara and a 1st round pick (Jason Spezza). Spezza was then traded to Dallas for Alex Chiasson, draft picks and prospect Nick Paul. Paul is still with the Senators. So when you see Nick Paul, remember that he's on the team because Ottawa drafted Yashin 28 years ago.
how about the Gretzky trade . That would be cool.-
Why do I hate being a penguins fan after this years draft
Markstrom leaving to sign in Calgary ends Trevor lindens trade tree from the 90’s
Not sure if you have done the John Kordic for Russ Courtnall deal… but do it 🙂
As a Pens fan, I think signing Matt Murray to that contract is going to be a collossal mistake for the Sens. Ottawa's done a lot of building this season but as you're going to see, it's gonna take more than a decent team to make up for his glove side. If you don't believe me just watch.
Kovalev was the o.g dangle n the sickest
I liked Kovalev growing up but now I always think of his playoff dive first when his name comes up
We don't talk about that 2017 Sens run, that was Hankie's final shot to get a cup in NY 🙁
Still waiting for the tree of Ron Francis, Ulf, and Grant Jennings to Pgh from Hartford for John Cullen & Zarley Zalapski. Grant Jennings wound up on the Maple Leafs, and the Pens would end the tree with losing Marc Andre Fleury to the expansion draft. ~15 year span.
oh look another video thats a part of the BIGGEST trade tree ever.
Definitely a great player…my go to memory is always the hand shake D bump that resulted in a goal tho 😆…who's with me? Can't doubt that skill tho
Trade tree got bigger they traded that 2021 2nd for Stephan
Flash forward 2 months and that other 2nd rounder pick from Columbus is traded for Stepan
Duclaire staying in Ottawa tho, that should be a dang it Steve lmao
Wait…wait…Ottawa has an NHL team?
Is every video required to mention the 2019 Blue Jackets/Lightning series at some point?
Senators in last place, did getting Murray really change anything?
I absolutely love these videos ❤️ keep them coming !!
Matt Murray not doing so well yet…
Murray isn’t worth a second rounder
Pittsburgh has gone from Marc-Andre Fleury who was left unprotected in the expansion draft and drafted by Las Vegas, to Matt Murray who was then traded to Ottawa but looking so far as a bust to the Senators. To Tristan Jerry and Casey DeSmith in goal for Pittsburgh while Ryan Dzingel has gone from Ottawa, Columbus to Carolina and Anthony Duclair who has gone from Columbus, Ottawa, Florida
Do you think you can upgrade this trade tree for this year
Can you do Eric Karlsson trade tree
I'm still waiting on certain trade trees such as Linden returning to Vancouver. The Vancouver trade of Bure to Florida. The Brett Hull trade to St. Louis
I know this didn't happen at the time of the video but I love that Ryan Dzingle is back haha
To everyone wondering about that second rounder 2021 pick… Unless I am wrong it was traded to AZ for Derek Stephan and the Coyotes used it to pick up, Josh Doan! Neat story! The trade tree continues!!!!
Murray didn't play all that good for Ottawa this past season and ended up sharing the net with both Hogberg And Daccord. Nevertheless, I think he will be more hungry for a bounceback season this fall, or spring for viewers in the southern hemisphere.
Edit: Murray was traded to Toronto along with a 3rd and a 7th in exchange for future considerations, which is basically nothing, but the trade tree continues because of it. And Duclair signed with the Panthers during the 2020 off-season before the 2021 season started in January, so his branch is done. All that's left is the 2021 2nd rounder to keep the tree going.
Ryan Dizingl for Kovalev is kinda a good trade for ottawa
I like watching your videos. You're funny.
I think Duclair ends up in Florida, sneaking suspicion
And the answer for Duclair is…..no he did not go back to Ottawa and signed instead a 1 year deal in FLORIDA to play with the Panthers. Just got a three year extension too in July of this Year, 2021. So yeah walked away and Ottawa got NOTHING for him.
i wouldnt say underrated as much as he couldve been so much better. guy had the filthiest hands but lacked the dedication at times
Time to add the robbery trade from Ottawa (Murray) to Toronto.
Well now the senators traded Murray to the Toronto Maple Leafs and through and I believe a seventh round and third round pick just saw Toronto would take the hunk of junk off their hands, They got absolutely nothing in return except future considerations but they did rid themselves of a horrible contract and terrible goalie, While I’m freeing up valuable caps space to sign their core players…
Funny how these trades turn out. Dzingel trade by itself was fantastic, BUT:
– Duclair lost for nothing
– OTT gave up a 3rd and 7th to move Murray with salary retention to TOR
– 2021 2nd could've been moved for Arvidsson or Graves at the expansion draft. Instead, it's 20 games of Derek Stepan.
