Okay, this is going to be a random one but stick with me. 

The trade tree that I'm going to talk about is the Jose Theodore trade tree. For a lot of us younger Hab fans at the time, Jose Theodore was an incredible goalie (I'll never forget the behind the back save against Boston in the playoffs or the time he scored!!)

But, due to off ice issues (propecia use...propecia is a hair loss medication that contains finasteride, a common masking agent for steroids) and rumors of mafia connections (never proven) and poor play, he lasted only four and a half seasons with the Canadiens as a starter when he was dealt for David Aebischer straight up. Aebischer is still playing, albeit in the Swiss league. Theodore fizzled out but he had an incredible peak.

I guess the tree isn't that interesting, but it gets more interesting if you include Theodore's replacement, Cristobal Huet.

Huet was traded for a 2009 second round pick due to the emergence of Carey Price. That pick was then traded to Anaheim for Mathieu Schneider and a third round pick swap. Schneider played one season with the Habs before moving on. Schneider, of course, won the cup with the Canadiens in 1993.

Nice little trip down memory lane there.
