Trade for Dominik Hasek
Coming off a first-round playoff exit against the Los Angeles Kings, the Red Wings appeared to be fading in 2001. That changed on July 1, when they acquired goaltender Dominik Hasek from the Buffalo Sabres for winger Slava Kozlov and a first-round pick.
The move helped lure free agents Luc Robitaille and Brett Hull as the Red Wings created a super team with nine future Hall-of-Fame players. The Dominator helped the Red Wings win the Stanley Cup before retiring for one season.
