How do you trade the greatest player of a generation?
At the end of the day, sometimes it's not about talent, but about dollars and cents.
TSN and TSN.ca continue to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the trade that sent Wayne Gretzky to the Los Angeles Kings today with a look at how the deal impacted the business of hockey.
Tune in to tonight's edition of SportsCentre for "Dollars and Cents: The Gretzky Impact," a special look at the effect the trade had on the economics of the NHL.
When then-Los Angeles Kings owner Bruce McNall tore up Gretzky's 25-year, $25 million contract, it changed the game and the very definition of a player's worth.
TSN DRIVE host Dave Naylor hosts, as SportsCentre takes a look at how "The Trade" has affected boardrooms across the NHL to this very day.
TSN.ca will also be featuring a host of exclusive content all week long at www.tsn.ca/tradeat25.
Visit the site now for videos from 1988, including Gretzky's famous farewell press conference as well as vintage SportsCentre clips from the day the trade broke as well as clips from Monday's SportsCentre feature, "Gretzky's Kids".
TSN.ca will also be posting photo galleries all week long examining how "The Trade" has had a ripple effect through the NHL that is still being felt today.
Interact with TSN on various social media platforms as well - including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram - for vintage Gretzky photos, trivia questions and links to exclusive TSN.ca content all week long.
