This Day In Hockey History (9/15)

Today we have a trade between the Vancouver Canucks and the New Jersey Devils.  Why do we have this?  Because it turns out this trade benefitted both teams in very different ways (at least as far as timing).  What we do know is that the Canucks got themselves a goalie and the Devils got themselves a guy who could score.  This moment comes from 24 years ago and just seems hard to believe this occurred right around training camp yet it did.
