I feel as a Hockey Fan, how would we have gotten away with a Playground Trade for an LA Kings Era Wayne Gretzky for a disgruntled Quebec Nordiques Eric Lindros Holdout Trade, eliminating the Coin Flip that got a reverant Stanley Cup instead of a troubling Postseason Hex uglier than Pelle Lindbergh's Loss.
To shatter a troubling, alternate history disbelief, Lindros and the Tara, Jill Settle Rusk, at the time Jill Settle was the only holdouts in 1991-1992. Trades to end Holdouts would not be unprecedented, but, they are not couth to the recipient.
What it would have made at the time, Wayne Gretzky would have been a greater International Hero than that of even David Beckham later on, and the wilderness in Crossing Paths wouldn't have been as clubby and Denver would have been in line for an NHL Expansion vs. 2 Stanley Cups they'd fought through and then some.
The downside is the Los Angeles Kings would have someone wreck the limo on the Sunset Strip. It would have blown a Wildfire of a Sports Page in the Early 1990s in Southern California more worse for wear and then some.
This trade would have caused pain, regret, and recrimination, and not just the Ice Oilers not raising banners well into my Young Adult Years like Konstinov and Fetisov would have for the Red Wings the same matter had they not been crippled.
The "King's Ransom" that stunted future Ice King Development came right before the NHL Players Strike in 1994, and ruined an All Time Great Sports Night in Los Angeles. The Ice Kings 2 Stanley Cup Banners seem unrealized by now, and there would have been a lot of history changed up for better or worse.
