Sam McMaster

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sam McMaster was the General Manager of the Los Angeles Kings (NHL) from 1994 to 1997. His tenure with the team was widely considered a flop as the Kings regressed to the bottom of the league's standings during his three years as GM. He is known in trivia sections for being the man who traded Wayne Gretzky to the St. Louis Blues for three prospects, two of which ended up leaving the NHL in three years. McMaster was fired in 1997 and replaced by Kings great Dave Taylor.
