Although it sucked seeing Adams traded, I was ecstatic about the idea of having Russ play with brother Geoff - although it wasn't for very long.<BR/><BR/>I remember being upset when Russ was traded in 1997 - Tikkanen was the problem in the Canucks dressing room, but Courtnall wanted to stay and loved playing in Vancouver. That was a bad deal made by Quinn - in return the Canucks got two other slower vets in Brian Noonan and Sergei Nemchinov. We should have hung on to Courtnall.C-fanSince88https://www.blogger.com/profile/12466109745674918581noreply@blogger.com
