Looking back at trades and seeing how they end up is always a fun time if you’re willing to put in the time to do the research. Every team has them, and it’s interesting to look into the series of events (sometimes unfortunate), that led to certain players joining your organization. The Montreal Canadiens have had a couple of these happen throughout their history.
I’ve looked into how the team had the chance to add team captain Max Pacioretty which was a process that started 15 years before he was drafted. There’s more than that came from.
