Thread: 2021-22 Kordic for Courtnall v2
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Gee, it's hardly a Kordic for Courtnall comparison. Wilson was infinitely better hockey player than Kordic. Courtnall at the time wasn't playing well for the Leafs, Nylander was the best Leaf in last years playoffs.
But lets go back to the history of the Kordic trade. The game before the trade the Oilers had come into MLG and manhandled the Leafs, and targeted Borje Salming. Remember her the trade was made in the mid 80s where fighters were a necessary part of the game/team. So the Leafs traded for Kordic whihdc for that year and especially the next gave the Leafs necessary toughness.
Personally I don't think the trade ws a bad as many make out.</div></div>

That's absolutely ridiculous and unscrupulous

1. Obv acquiring an enforcer is one of the easiest things ever and shouldn't come at the cost of a promising 23 year old, who hit 40-70 points yearly

Dave Semenko was traded for a late 3rd in 1986 when he was 2x as coveted an enforcer as Kordic, had two Stanley cup rings and hit 20ish points yearly

2. The league using enforcers to 'pol*ce' the league instead of department of player safety discipline, was a human rights violation and completely misguided

You actually just defended one of the worst trades of the Har*ld freaking Ball*rd era like... I'm kinda in shock that someone did that in 2021... 😳
