Wayne Gretzky played for the Oilers for most of his career, so it was a big deal when he was traded to the LA Kings. With the great one playing for them, the kings saw a rise in their popularity in the city. Some people actually think the trade helped make hockey popular in places that it traditionally wasn't. You know, like places that don't get snow. 
So my question is, what is Gretzky was traded to a Canadian team? According to his father, who knew about the trade before Wayne did, one of the teams looking to get him on their team was Vancouver, so it could happen.
What affect would this have on the past two decades of Hockey history? How would NHL expansion have worked out?
ps- I just had the most awesome thought, Wayne Gretzky playing for the Winnipeg Jets!
