This is not a DOD thread (Dish on Darcy)... just curious about two up and coming D-men that were very highly thought of that are no longer with the organization. Former first rounder Keith Ballard and Cory Sarich. I remember being upset when we let Cory go, but since it was so long ago i don't really remember the circumstances of that trade, etc. Was that one of the Andreychuk moves, or something else? Also, what did we get in return for Ballard?

Corey was the key to getting Gratton. He was the player that TB required as part of the deal. Holzinger and Primeau and the draft pick exchange (2nd to Buffalo, 3rd to TB) were more or less throw ins.

 

As has been posted before, Ballard went to the Avs for Reinprecht. Reinprecht and Warrener went to Calgary for Drury and Begin.
