Olympic Break: Although Hannan had already been in the NHL for 10 years, he had a rare opportunity to represent Canada at the 1992 Olympics in Albertville, France.
In January 1992, Team Canada coach Dave King expressed an interest in having
Hannan as a checking center at the Olympics, and Toronto was willing to loan
him to King's team. Hannan, however, was feuding with the Leafs over his
contract and was awaiting results of a Nov. 27, 1991, arbitration
hearing to determine his market value. Making $180,000 for Toronto in
1991-92, Hannan felt he deserved more, particularly since the team had
signed free agent Mike Krushelnyski to a $450,000 deal and free agent Mike
Foligno to a $300,000 deal. Hannan, who had cleared waivers, requested a
trade prior to the All-Star break and even before King offered him an
Olympic roster spot on Jan. 15, 1992. Still hoping he would be traded,
Hannan initially turned down King's request. ... But five days later, on
Jan. 20, 1992, it was clear to Hannan that he would not be traded until
after the Olympics. He then agreed to join the Canadian Olympic team, and
Toronto loaned him to Team Canada from Jan. 20, 1992, to Feb. 28, 1992. He
came back to Toronto with a silver medal, and was traded to Buffalo less
than two weeks later. |

| HOW HE GOT AWAY |
| TRADE/WAIVER DRAFT:
Pittsburgh traded Hannan, Craig Simpson, Moe Mantha and Chris Joseph to
Edmonton for Paul Coffey, Dave Hunter and Wayne Van Dorp on
November 24, 1987. Just under a year later, Pittsburgh got Hannan back when
it claimed him from Edmonton in the NHL Waiver Draft on October 3, 1988, and
the Pens returned Dave Hunter to Edmonton as compensation to avoid the
waiver fee.
Pittsburgh lost Hannan again when it left him unprotected for the 1989 NHL
Waiver Draft, and he was claimed by Toronto on October 2, 1989. |
