If you wanna make this better for the Leafs the Player drafted right after Daniel Brodin was only someone named Brendan Gallagher

Remember the trade. At first, Colaiacovo was the main part for the Blues, and Steen seemed like the throw in.

The Craig Rivet one is quite impressive : Montreal got a first (Pacioretty) and Josh Gorges for Rivest and fifth that happened to be Julien Demers (never played NHL).

Sharks traded Rivet to Sabres after two ok seasons for 2 seconds (2009 : William Wrenn, never played. 2010 : Traded to Hurricanes for 5th round pick [Cody Ferrerio, never played] and Niclas Wallin [10 points in 97 games for SJ]. The pick was Mark Alt [18 NHL games, 0 points].
With the Sabres, RIvet was picked up in waivers by the Blue Jackets.

Josh Gorges was a pillar in Montreal (wore the A) for a little more than 7 years as a defensive d (464 gp, 88 points, +35). Traded to Buffalo where he did not show up those numbers (-42 in 4 seasons) for a 2016 second round pick (Chad Krys, does not play in the NHL, and is not killing it in the AHL).
That pick, along with another second round pick in 2016 went to the Blackhawks for Andrew Shaw. Ok, that other pick was Alex Debrincat. Shush
But, Shaw was again traded by the Habs to the Hawks for a 2nd in 2020, a 3rd in 2021 and a 7th in 2021.

Pacioretty put up 226 goals and 448 pts as a Hab (was the Captain) in 626 gp. He got traded to the VGK (106 pts in 137 gp) for Nick Suzuki (41 pts in 71 games as a ROOKIE), Tomas Tatar (119 in 148 points) AND a second round pick in 2019 (which got traded to the Kings for a 3rd and 5th round pick in 2019)
The second round pick by the Kings was Samuel Fagemo (13 pts in 7 gp for team Sweden in the 2020 WHJC). Seems pretty good.
3rd pick for Habs was Mattias Norlinder. Played WHJC, no points in 7 games as a D. But highly ranked prospect.
5th round pick : Jacob Leguerrier. Good prospect. Double his total points in the OHL this year.

Furthermore, just because this trade looks to good for me as a Habs fan, i recommend the Gomez for basically Chris Higgins and Ryan Mcdonagh trade. It's a doozy.

Also, at the rate that Alex Galchenyuk is getting traded, the Domi deal will be a must in the future.

look at every Doug Armstrong trade. Its insane. Brayden Schenn for Jori Lehtera, Oreiley for Berglund. I dont know why anyone trades with him

Steve please do more of these. Best part of the channel right now

Alex Steen went to my school in Winnipeg...he was 3 years younger than me, so it's not like we hung out, but I did know who he was (because I followed the Jets, and at the time his dad was one of my favourite players). He didn't have an aura of fame around him though...thankfully, people treated him pretty normally, from what I could tell.

@atmosphere_0004 6 years ago

It’s kinda hard to be a Maple Leafs fan. I feel bad for them

@saintyVEVO 6 years ago

Yes. Just give us more of these.

@taffypool654 6 years ago

Blues fan here. Thank you, Toronto for our boy Steen...never was going to be an elite but has always been a consistently-awesome two-way forward and strong leader.

As for Splodeybones Colaiacovo, well, he gave us — and the world — one of the best GIFs ever. Look it up!

@chaffsalvo 6 years ago

Steen and Petro are the only players continually on the roster since 2008, Perron left and returned after several seasons. Shows how solid Steen has been for the Blues

@J-Rock12 6 years ago

That was awesome. These trade videos are incredibly interesting and I enjoy Dangle’s presentation so please keep them going!

@billverge7822 1 year ago

the only Leaf memory i have of Stepniak was he was either taking a penalty shot or a shoot out attempt (cant remember which) but is shot attempt ended up in the corner, missed the net by @ least 12ft LOL...brutal

What is the all time “Leafs draft
Picks drafted to other teams” team?

@shaunmattice6413 6 years ago

Can you laugh and cry at the same time? Asking for a friend.

@liltiger3 6 years ago

I didn't even like the trade when it was made. "Trader Cliff's" last move as Leafs GM handed the Blues a core forward for a decade and gave the Leafs squat. What a joke.
