Was the Gretzky trade from Edmonton to LA the biggest sports trade ever?

I just watched the 30 for 30 "Kings Ransom" and that shite was insane.

I still think Wayne was a bit of a prima donna.

Montreal was the last Canadian team to win the cup beating the Great One in '93.

I've always thought that the Cowboys trade of Herschel Walker was a pretty big one. Started a pretty dominant era for Dallas when the Cowboys drafted Emmitt Smith and Darren Woodson with two of the many picks they received.

wasn't too familiar about the Gretzky deal, but the Walker one I always thought was the biggest.

Not sure the Ruth trade changed MLB like this one changed the face of the NHL.

Agree. I would also put the Walker trade pretty high on the list.

Warrior to Celtics:

Robert Parish
Kevin McHale (draft)

Celtics to Warriors:

Joe Barry Carroll (draft)

It was total theft.

Seeing as how Gretzky is one of the GOATest of GOATs, I'm going with yes.

He and Mark Messier won 4 cups in Edmonton. He won the Hart trophy 9 times. Crazy. Took the last place team to the finals in a few years which basically assisted in expanding the league to 30 teams.

Ruth is the GOAT of all GOATs. Gretzky is up there, but the Babe trade was the biggest ever.
