You’re right! That’s what happens when I don’t double check my facts first. Funny enough, I preach this stuff to my kids all the time lol.You are mixing things up.
Pollock swapped the Habs 1st with the Golden Seals 1st for 1971.
But the LA Kings started to play even more poorly than the Golden Seals, so Pollock traded Ralph Backstrom to the Kings for basically nothing to boost them.
Habs won the 1970-1971 Stanley Cup and drafted Lafleur a few weeks later.
