The Pittsburgh Penguins knew what they had to do. And the means by which they did it will be talked about until the end of time. A once-in-a-lifetime player awaited the team who would finish last in the league.

Older fans will recall the controversy surrounding the end of the 1983-84 season where the Penguins tanked to secure the services of a player that, in his final season of QMJHL play, broke records and posted 133 goals, 149 assists, and 282 points.
