Just thought this was kind of funny how it panned out


So I started a career with the Colorado Rockies in 76 and just finished the 78-79 season which was abysmal which is crazy because I really didn't try to tank.


Anyway went through the draft and obviously got Wayne Gretzky 1rst overall, but decided to look at the possibility of Gretzky pulling a Lindros and if a team in 79-80 would have similar pieces to that insane trade.


There was one the Atlanta Flames soon to be the Calgary Flames which is already odd to think of Gretzky in a Flames Jersey.


Ron Hextall = Dan Bouchard
Steve Duschesne = Al Sims
Mike Ricci = Ryan Walter (11th ovr in 78)
Two 1rst's
and the funniest
Peter Forsberg would equal Mark Messier drafted 5th overall in 1979 lol



obviously would have to force trade this but kind of has me kicking the tires try and build a dynasty in Colorado with Gretzky or Lindros it 12 years before that was a thing
