FIVE YEARS AGO: March 8, 1994
The Petr Nedved Saga (1994 Edition) ends (at least from his side) as the
23-year-old center signs a four-year contract with the St. Louis Blues.
Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement then in place, compensation to
the Canucks is ordered. The Blues offer Craig Janney and a second round
pick. The Canucks ask for Brendan Shanahan. Arbitration is all but assured.
And one has to wonder if Nedved will pull this crap again in the summer of
1997, when his new contract is up.
