Do you remember?
1988 The Great One gets traded. Edmonton Oilers center Wayne “The Great One” Gretzky is traded to the Los Angeles Kings along with Mike Krushelnyski and Marty McSorley in return for Jimmy Carson, Martin Gelinas and first-round draft picks in the 1989, 1991 and 1993 drafts.

Sportsnet did a great article on the whole trade and how it changed Edmonton, and hockey forever.
