Coldply,
Oleg was traded from the Ducks to the Jets for Teemu frickin Selanne in his prime. The Jets turned into the Coyotes. Gauthier, who was the assistant GM of the Ducks back in 94 and who was very instrumental in drafting Oleg became the Ducks GM and traded a first round draft pick (something which the team has never done before) in 99 to get Oleg back. Basically, Oleg has played for 2 org. before he was traded to the Devils. The reason he was traded is because he didn't get along with Murray. According to the Ducks beat writter Oleg, not Friesen, was the key to the deal. As a 10 year Ducks season ticket holder, I have watched Oleg play for many years and I know for a fact that the only years Oleg was playing under 10 minutes a game was his rookie years. Oleg loves to play and I can assure you no one is more upset about not playing then him.
