'''Craig Patrick''' (born May 20, 1946) is an American former [[Ice hockey|hockey]] player, coach and general manager, the son of [[Lynn Patrick]] and the grandson of [[Lester Patrick]]. During the [[1980 Winter Olympics]], Patrick was the Assistant General Manager and Assistant Coach under [[Herb Brooks]] for the [[United States men's national ice hockey team]], which won the gold medal and defeated the [[Soviet Union national ice hockey team|Soviet Union]] in the "[[Miracle on Ice]]". From 1989 to 2006, Patrick was the General Manager of the [[Pittsburgh Penguins]] where he oversaw back-to-back [[Stanley Cup]] championships in [[1991 Stanley Cup Finals|1991]] and [[1992 Stanley Cup Finals|1992]], as well as the drafting and signing of some players that would later win a Stanley Cup title for the Penguins in [[2009 Stanley Cup Finals|2009]].

==Amateur career==
After spending most of his childhood in [[Wellesley, Massachusetts]], he was sent at age fourteen to [[Quebec]] to play junior hockey in the [[Metropolitan Junior Hockey League]] for the Lachine Maroons and later the Montreal Junior Canadiens.

He attended the [[University of Denver]] where he helped guide the Pioneers hockey team to the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]] championship in 1968 and 1969. He played on the US National Team for 1969–70 and 1970–71 seasons, including the 1970 and 1971 [[Ice Hockey World Championship]] tournaments while serving in the [[US Army]].

==Career as a professional player==
Patrick's pro career was comparatively modest but he did play eight seasons in [[National Hockey League|NHL]] with the [[California Golden Seals]], the [[St. Louis Blues]], the [[Kansas City Scouts]], and the [[Washington Capitals]]. He also played briefly for the [[Minnesota Fighting Saints]] of the [[World Hockey Association]] in 1976–77 before jumping back to the NHL when the Saints folded. He amassed 72 goals, 91 assists, and 163 points in 401 NHL games during his playing career. He also was a member of Team USA at the inaugural [[1976 Canada Cup]] tournament and also played for the U.S. at the 1979 [[Ice Hockey World Championship]] tournament in Moscow, shortly before retiring from professional hockey.

== The Miracle on Ice ==
Patrick served as assistant general manager and assistant coach under [[Herb Brooks]] for the 1980 US [[1980 Winter Olympics|Olympic]] Gold Medal-winning hockey team, the ''[[Miracle on Ice]].''

Patrick was also the general manager for the 2002 US [[2002 Winter Olympics|Olympic]] team, also coached by Brooks, which won the silver medal – the first US hockey medal since the 1980 team. This tournament was further notable as it was largely the same roster that underperformed in the 1998 Olympics, yet aging players like [[Mike Richter]] and [[Phil Housley]] performed well beyond expectations and were named to the 2002 tournament all-star team.

During both Olympic tournaments, the Team USA defeated the Soviets/Russians. Interestingly, both games were played on Friday, February 22, in their respective years, with a one-goal victory for Team USA. Team USA would also play for the gold medal on Sunday, February 24, but would lose to Canada in 2002.

== NHL management and beyond ==
In 1980, he became director of operations for the [[New York Rangers]] and in 1981 became the youngest general manager in Rangers history. He also served as head coach of the Rangers for parts of two seasons (1980–81 and 1984–85).

He was named general manager of the [[Pittsburgh Penguins]] on December 5, 1989. During his tenure, the Penguins won two [[Stanley Cup]] championships, one President's Trophy, and five division titles. Patrick also served as head coach of the Penguins twice, during the 1989–90 and 1996–97 seasons.

His early years as GM of the Penguins are remembered as some of the most productive in the history of the franchise. In 1990, he spent his first round draft pick on [[Czechoslovakian]] forward [[Jaromír Jágr|Jaromir Jagr]]. He traded the Penguins' second round pick that year to [[Calgary Flames|Calgary]] for [[Joe Mullen]], a player the Flames had considered to be over the hill. Perhaps his most legendary trade occurred March 4, 1991, when he sent [[John Cullen]], [[Jeff Parker (hockey player)|Jeff Parker]] and [[Zarley Zalapski]] to the [[Hartford Whalers]] in exchange for [[Ron Francis]], [[Ulf Samuelsson]] and [[Grant Jennings]]. The move was viewed as a huge gamble. Cullen was the fifth leading scorer in the NHL at the time. However, the players Patrick acquired in the trade played big roles in the Penguins' Stanley Cup championship victories in 1991 and 1992.

===Later years as GM===
The Penguins also reached the conference finals in 1996 and 2001.

However his later years were plagued by the Penguins' financial woes as well as a series of poor trades.

Perhaps his most infamous trades came in March 1996 when he sent future NHL scoring ace [[Markus Näslund]] to the [[Vancouver Canucks]] in exchange for [[Alek Stojanov]], a role player with just two career NHL goals; a 2003 [[Sports Illustrated]] article described this as the "worst trade in NHL history".<ref>{{cite web |last=Steigerwald |first=Paul |url=http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/s_116086.html |title=Naslund trade no big deal back then - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review |publisher=Pittsburghlive.com |date=February 2, 2003 |access-date=September 23, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081207062224/http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/s_116086.html |archive-date=December 7, 2008 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> Then, in an effort to appease then player and captain Mario Lemieux, Patrick traded top scoring defenseman [[Sergei Zubov]] to the Dallas Stars for Kevin Hatcher, a slower moving and older version of Zubov with less upside at that point in their careers.

In July 2001, Patrick sent Jagr and role player [[Frantisek Kucera]] to the [[Washington Capitals]] for three minor league prospects ([[Kris Beech]], [[Michal Sivek]], [[Ross Lupaschuk]]) and nearly US$5 million cash. The deal was forced by the Penguins financial woes (indeed this saved the club much money as Jagr would fail to live up to expectations with the Capitals), as well as Jagr's growing dissatisfaction with the Penguins. The trade was nonetheless widely criticized in the Pittsburgh media, as the three prospects acquired in the deal never made any significant contribution to the Penguins' organization. Another reason for this criticism was that the New York Rangers allegedly were willing to make a deal which would have given Pittsburgh two established players and higher quality prospects. However, many believed Patrick resented the Rangers for firing him earlier in his GM career, which made him ask for a greater and to an extent unfair return.<ref name="sports illustrated">{{cite web|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/jim_kelley/05/22/craig.patrick.notes/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080526063916/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/jim_kelley/05/22/craig.patrick.notes/ |last=Kelley|first=Jim|
url-status=dead |archive-date=May 26, 2008 |title=Sweet vindication for Craig Patrick|publisher=Sportsillustrated.cnn.com |access-date=September 23, 2011}}</ref> One published report had Patrick demanding [[Petr Nedvěd]], [[Radek Dvořák]] and [[Mike York]], as well as two prospects for Jágr, which Rangers GM [[Glen Sather]] quickly shot down as Patrick's demands were unreasonable.

From the 2001–02 season onwards, Penguins missed the playoffs in the next four seasons of Patrick's term as General Manager.

After the 2004–05 lockout, in the 2005 off-season, Patrick drafted teen phenomenon [[Sidney Crosby]] with the first overall pick. Patrick also acquired veterans [[Ziggy Palffy]], [[Sergei Gonchar]], [[John LeClair]] and [[Mark Recchi]]. While 18-year-old Crosby became the youngest player in NHL history to score 100 points, the older free agents had little to show for the millions that Patrick spent on them (though Gonchar would remain a key player in 2008–09). The Penguins finished last in the Atlantic Division for the fourth consecutive time. After 17 years as Penguins General Manager, Patrick was relieved of his duties on April 20, 2006, when his expiring contract was not renewed by team president [[Ken Sawyer]].<ref>{{cite web|author=CBC Sports |url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/penguins-part-ways-with-patrick-1.584127 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121105071029/http://www.cbc.ca/news/story/2006/04/20/patrick-penguins060420.html |url-status=live |archive-date=November 5, 2012 |title=Penguins part ways with Patrick - CBC News |publisher=Cbc.ca |date=April 21, 2006 |access-date=September 23, 2011}}</ref> Succeeding GM [[Ray Shero]] praised Patrick's selection of [[Marc-André Fleury]], Crosby, and [[Evgeni Malkin]], but also said that work had to be done to build up the depth and third/fourth lines for the long-term, rather than a quick-fix.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/nhl/news/story?id=2457592&campaign=rss&source=ESPNHeadlines |title=Shero hired by Pens after talks with Bruins lapse - NHL - ESPN |publisher=[[ESPN]] |date=May 25, 2006 |access-date=September 23, 2011}}</ref>

Patrick was initially bitter about his firing and stayed away from hockey-related activities for a while afterwards.<ref name="sports illustrated" /> The Penguins returned to the postseason in 2007, with Crosby being named regular season MVP and winning the scoring title, though they lost in five games to eventual finalists, the [[Ottawa Senators]].

In 2008, Patrick accepted an invitation from owner [[Mario Lemieux]] to watch the game in the owners box where the Penguins defeated the [[Philadelphia Flyers]] to take the Eastern Conference championship. Patrick's later draft picks, Marc-Andre Fleury, Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby were credited with the team's advance to the Stanley Cup Finals that year, where they lost to the [[Detroit Red Wings]] in six games.<ref name="sports illustrated" /> In 2009, these players had instrumental roles in Pittsburgh's Stanley Cup win.

===Draft history===
His tenure as GM also saw a hit and miss record in the [[NHL Entry Draft]]. Sparkling first round picks early in his tenure such as Jagr, [[Martin Straka]] and Naslund were balanced by later first round busts such as [[Chris Wells (ice hockey)|Chris Wells]], [[Róbert Döme|Robert Dome]], [[Craig Hillier]], [[Milan Kraft]] and [[Stefan Bergkvist]]. Productive drafts in the early 2000s produced young talent such as [[Marc-André Fleury]], [[Evgeni Malkin]] and [[Sidney Crosby]], but could not reverse the growing opinion in the public or among team management that Patrick had lost his touch.
