Yes please!

Craig Rivet + 5th rd pick for a guy struggling to crack the lineup and unable to match up physically against strong Western Conference players + 1st rd pick? I'd do it again. Rivet was loved in SJ.

edit
Not that it matters, but that 5th rd pick turned into some guy named Jason Demers

What a warrior! Best defensive d-man we've had since Chelios IMO. I'm honoured that after a game in Calgary a few years ago, I got my picture taken with him and I chose him over a few more notable names. But I knew Gorges was a keeper and that that photo-op would mean more someday. Always loved Gorges. All heart, baby!

Good for you pal

I'd rather have a 30 goal scorer and the leading shot blocker in the NHL.

Does Rivet still play in the NHL?

And is Jason freakin Demers stronger physically than Gorges?

Child please.

An ageing Rivet + unproven Demers for a proven 30 goal scorer in Pacioretty and the best shot blocker in the league? It was one of the few trades Gainey won though.

Simply shows what the Sharks' management knew about player's evaluation...
