The Rivet trade to Sharks sparked two threads that are still going today.
Craig Rivet --> Josh Gorges --> Andrew Shaw --> 2020 2nd + 2021 3rd
Gorges leading to Shaw: Habs got Gorges in the Rivet trade. Habs traded Gorges to Sabres for a 2nd. Habs then used that 2nd from Sabres in the trade to get Shaw. And we still have this thread going today.
Craig Rivet --> Max Pacioretty --> Tomas Tatar + Nick Suzuki + Mattias Norlinder + Jacob LeGuerrier
In the Pacioretty to Vegas trade, Habs got a 2nd Round Pick on top of Tatar & Suzuki. Habs then used that 2nd to get a 3rd and a 5th, where they picked Norlinder with the 3rd and LeGuerrier with the 5th.
The shaw part is misleading. Shaw cost us two 2nds not just one. And Shaw cost us two very early 2nds. We don't know where the Blackhawks 2nd and 3rd will wind up. Plus the 2nds we gave up for Shaw were in a draft that had Samuel Girard, who Timmins wanted to take, and Debrincat, whom we don't know if Timmins wanted.
