Zubov, Davidson Agree to "have a cup of coffee,"

On Aug. 31, 1995, Pittsburgh traded Luc Robitaille, who had only been a Penguin for one season, along with defender Ulf Samuelsson to New York in exchange for Petr Nedved and Sergei Zubov. The Rangers added snarl on the backend while the Penguins added offensive prowess to theirs. horrible deal and basically done as a result of that physical series (forget the year) where are blue line got man handled by the legion of doom.
That was the 1995 playoff series vs. Philly, coming off the Cup.

 

Rangers were coming off the Cup hangover and the lockout. Plus a bruising 1st round series vs. Quebec. It was an overreaction by Neil Smith, who started to make bad trades after not making many bad ones leading up to the Cup.

 

Nedved and Kovalev both couldn't hack it in NY. Hated trading Zubov, don't know why he was included. Ulf was at the end of his career.
