Chia created the mess that forced the Hamilton trade. It was highly rumored that the Oilers were going to prepare an offer sheet that would have made it tough for the Bruins to match.
Chia got lucky he ended up fleecing Burke on the Kessel trade getting the picks that turned into Seguin and Hamilton. The Seguin trade was a disaster for the Bruins as they sent out a top centre for literally zero assets 4 years later.
This isn't just a Chia thing but it would be 4 prominent young budding superstars traded at 22 or younger if Pasternak is moved.
