The Hockey Writers recently published an article highlighting the most iconic trades in the Winnipeg Jets franchise history.
Randy Carlyle is a legendary member of the NHL. Carlyle retired in 1993 with 148 goals and 499 assists. He spent his career as a formidable force on the blue line, and had much success as a head coach, winning a Stanley Cup with the Anaheim Ducks in 2007.
Late in the 1983-84 season, the Jets acquired undersized but offensively adept defenseman Randy Carlyle, who had recorded as many as 83 points in a single season.
In return, the Penguins received a 1984 first-round pick they used to select Doug Bodger and future considerations that turned out to Moe Mantha. Those players weren't busts at all as both played four-plus seasons in Pittsburgh and were good contributors there.

Randy went on to become a legendary member of the Jets 1.0. He captained the team in the 1983-84 season and Carlyle is regarded as one of the best trade acquisitions in the history of the franchise.
