A forgotten trade between two struggling teams in 1998 ended up shaping one of the most unforgettable moments in Carolina Hurricanes history. While most players involved barely stuck around, Martin Gelinas—acquired from Vancouver—scored the overtime goal that sent the Canes to their first Stanley Cup Final in 2002. It’s wild to think a deal meant as a reset for both teams had such a huge impact. Trades like this remind us how unpredictable sports can be—sometimes, the right player in the right moment changes everything.
