Musing on McCabe

While hockey pundits east of Manitoba and west of Quebec sing praises of Bryan McCabe's fast start, I muse on the trade that once brought McCabe to the Canucks:

After 56 games with the Islanders, Bryan was traded on February 6 with Todd Bertuzzi and a third-round draft pick (Jarkko Ruutu) to the Vancouver Canucks for Trevor Linden.
Two all-stars PLUS one of the biggest pests in the league for Trevor. Safe to say that Islanders GM Mike Milbury didn't have his job long after that. Oh... wait a minute.

On a side note, anyone else find it interesting that Milbury's bio - the second paragraph in particular - doesn't mention the Linden trade. Or the Luongo trade. Or the Spezza trade.
