On this day back in 1932, when times were a little different, there was a massive trade that involved big money, well for the time...
The trade would send Boston Brus Center, Ralph "Cooney" Weiland to the Ottawa Senators for Joe Lamb and $7000 in cash.
After four years with the Bruins, he was traded to the Ottawa Senators for Joe Lamb and $7,000. On November 26, 1933, Cooney was dealt to the Detroit Red Wings for Carl Voss and cash. Two years later, he was traded back to the Bruins

Weiland would end up playing 510 games between 1928-1939, he socred 173 goals and 160 assists for 333 points. Over his 10 year career he played for the Bruins (1928-1932), Ottawa Senators (1932-1934), Detroit Red Wings (1934-1935) and then again back with the B's (1936-1939).
Joe Lamb had a less successful career playing just under 500 NHL Games. He racked up 108 and 101 assists for 209 points.
