After losing the seventh game in the series against the New York Rangers , the Canucks missed winning the trophy. After Antoski had started weakly in the 1994/95 season and only played a few games, those responsible for the club handed him over to the Philadelphia Flyers and received the Josef Beránek as compensation from the Flyers.
