How Signing Raphael Diaz Resulted In The Habs Acquiring Phillip Danault 4-Years Later | Trade Trees 

Then Montréal traded Gorges for a 2nd pick that was later traded with an additionnal 2nd pick for Shaw that got later traded for 2nd, 3rd and 7th pick, that was later traded for Jake Allen.....This trade happened 15 years ago and still keep on giving!!!

Let's not forget that trade allowed Montreal to draft Jan Mysak, Jacob Leguerrier, and Mattias Norlinder!

@@Ryukasan1 Damn that’s true. I was thinking he should a Pacioretty trade tree but I forgot that it started with Craig Rivet and I also forgot that the tree doesn’t end with him. That’s a big tree damn

I thought he did that already

@@adrianstevens165 i looked on sportsnet and couldnt find it, maybe it was on his personal channel?

very interesting, I didn't know that but it makes sense!

Actually Bergevin has mentioned during an interview that, since he was only Ass. GM, drafting Danault was his idea but he had to push for it to happen. What's funny is that MB was named Ass. GM only 10 days before the 2011 draft where the Hawks picked Danault.

I will miss when Michel Lacroix shouted in the bell center : le but des Canadiens compté par le numéro 22/Canadiens goal scored by number 22 DALE WEIIIIIIISE

He's returned anyway, thank god

@@Yomasi unsigned UFA :(

Big Bicep Bergevin played 4D Chess on that entire tree

I hope Stan Bowman writes a book one day and explains what he was thinking with this trade. I remember Danault stepped in for an injured Kruger who was a defensive 4th line center. He had a broken wrist and was primarily used to win d zone faceoffs. Danault stepped in and was just as good, if not better. Also Danault was younger, cheaper at the time, and not recovering from a broken wrist. But as soon as Kruger could return to the lineup he was put back in his old 4th line center role and Danault was viewed as expendable. I think you have to go back about 10 years to find a Blackhawks 1st round pick that is still on the team after their rookie deal expires. Schmaltz, Jokiharju, Hartman, Teravienen, and Danault. Not saying all those trades are bad, but it's a trend that has hurt the team over the last decade.

yes please!

I've seen it requested a lot, but maybe that's just it? It's still taking shape, hence he'd want to wait before doing it? (Just speculating here!)

@@ozma6918 Makes sense! I really a video about that trade gets done eventually. It's such an interesting one to break down.

Yeah but I’m glad he’s gone

He thrived under Therrien, lol.

Hi other me :)

100% d'accord Jean-Luc!

The Diaz to Eller suicde pass is engrained in my memory as well..

@@pixelj4877 changed the entire post season :(

Ellwr

Same lol

The Alaskan Legend :^)

It had to have been 2011. I think that's the only time in the past decade and some that they met in the playoffs

Rightfully so. He should've started a rebuilt years ago, when Plekanec and Desharnais were at their peak value, instead he resigned them along with Emelin. They got cash strapped. Should've traded them, hope for a tank, draft high and he got the extra cash to OVERpay for a top 6 UFA or an offersheet to a RFA. Should've NEVER let Pacioretty become captain. Should've never bridged PK, that 9 mill cash stapped him again. Should've never traded Sergachev, should've never signed Alzner, should've resigned Radulov and should've traded Price instead of cash strapping AGAIN. It took him 7 yrs to realize that Center is where it starts, then it's the top 4 D. Anywhere else he would've been fired a long time ago.

@@castrodenavarroneBro half of what you said could not be done haha😂 MB offered more to Radulov than the stars, PK was the Image of the canadiens along with price, they simply HAD to resign them, Sergachev.. meh, maybe, it ain't like drouin is a 3rd or 4th line winger, he's a 2nd scoring winger on a good contract, Emelin was never high in value, they easily got rid of his contract, paccioretty not being capitain maybe, but I mean he's gone now. MB started the rebuild when they started to get bad, are you seriously that much of an idiot that you would think they should've started a rebuild when they we're consistently a top 2 team in the atlantic, and a top 5 team in the east? and most importantly... NO BIG TIME UFA WANTS TO COME TO MONTREAL, NO ONE Brother did you seriously think he wasn't trying to get Tavares, Panarin, Pietrangelo, they all said no, tavares didn't even want to speak to MB. Marc bergevin has been one of the best and one of the most consistent Gm in the league for at least 3-4 years now, he's arguably done one meh-arguably bad trade which would be the sergachev one, the rest, he fleeced: -ARI (Domi) -Preds(Weber) -Hawks(Danault, romanov) -EDM(Petry) -VGK(didn't fleece them but Tatar, Suzuki, Norlinder) -CBJ (Anderson) -Jets (Armia) He also drafted well in general: -Primeau (7th round) -Romanov(2nd round) -Struble(2nd round) -Jordan Harris (3rd round I believe) -Caufield (15th overall) -Mysak (2nd round) -Guhle (16th overall, was really good in wjcs) -Mattias Norlinder (3rd round) KK is slowly becoming a really good player, with the potential of being one of the best 2nd line center in the league Poehling id a tough one, good pick, not a steal, but he's got potential

If MB sells high on Danault this year, my god.

@@Manbearpig00003 glad we didn’t do that cause apparently that wasn’t his high 💀

I second that

Rick Nash trade tree. Marion Gaborik is tied to it. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone

Chiarelli is not polarizing, everyone agrees about him
