| TRADE (2): Toronto traded Reese, Craig Berube,
Gary Leeman, Michel Petit and Alexander Godynyuk to Calgary for Doug
Gilmour, Jamie Macoun, Rick Nattress, Rick Wamsley and Kent Manderville on
January 2, 1992. The 10 players exchanged was the largest number of players
to change teams in one NHL transaction. Seven years later, Toronto got Reese
back when the Maple Leafs signed him as a Group III unrestricted free agent
on January 5, 1999. Eight months later, Toronto lost Reese a second time
when the Maple Leafs traded Reese and their 2000 ninth-round pick (later
traded) to Tampa Bay for Tampa Bay's 2000 ninth-round pick (Jean-Philippe
Cote) on August 6, 1999, so that he could retire as a member of Tampa Bay
organization and become the team's goaltending consultant for the 1999-00
season. |
