Moog Leaves Edmonton:
Unhappy with his role as a backup goalie to Grant Fuhr for the Edmonton Oilers
in the 1980s, Moog played out his option in 1986-87 and decided he wanted out
of Edmonton rather than to re-sign with the team as a restricted free agent
for the 1987-88 season. A few weeks before Edmonton's 1987 training camp
opened, Moog's agent, Herb Pinder, announced that Moog would never play for
the Oilers again. Edmonton
general manager Glen Sather was not looking to deal Moog, and he told Pinder
that Moog had better find another job because the Oilers would not give in to
threats and would take their time in trading him. Sather had learned his
lesson nearly six years earlier, when he met Eddie Mio's trade demand and did
not get proper value in return. Pinder insisted that Moog wasn't just
interested in money, but rather the freedom to choose his own team. Restricted
free agency did not give him that freedom, so he was taking more dramatic
measures by holding out. Although Vancouver and Pittsburgh both expressed an
interest in signing Moog, they were both unwilling to risk the compensation
owed to Edmonton, which would include at least a first-round draft choice. To force
the issue, Pinder announced that if a trade was not made before the season,
Moog would join Team Canada
for its 1987-88 pre-Olympic tour and the 1988 Olympics in Calgary. Moog went
ahead with plans to join Team Canada, where he was reunited with his former
Billings coach, Dave King, in September 1987, and stayed out of the NHL for
1987-88. Seeing
Moog would never come back, Sather waited until the end of the Olympics before
finally trading him to Boston before the 1988 trade deadline. Moog wasted no
time joining his new team, as he immediately signed a five-year deal with the
Bruins and returned to NHL action in Boston's March 12, 1988, game at Quebec.
He made 34 saves in a 4-3 victory. |
