Quoted in 'Davidson's ability to give viewers what they craved helped him earn spot in hall'

The Edmonton Oilers would have been without a great array of players that we picked up in the trade, plus the $18.5 million Canadian that small markets definitely need. I wasn't looking forward to breaking up the greatest team, probably, that ever was in the hockey business. But that's the reality of economics.
