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.
