Sadly for Barry Pederson he is mostly known for being traded (with his messed up shoulder) for Cam Neely who would become one of the most popular players in Boston Bruins history. What is forgotten is that Pederson had two consecutive 100 Point seasons for Boston, finishing in the top six in scoring both seasons and he had a 1.10 Points per Game Average there. His messed up shoulder took him out of All Star status, but he was very good for a spell as a Bruin. It is a shame that he is not remembered for that more.
