Chia utterly screwed the team to get a slight improvement on D, and it wasn't nearly enough to make up for the loss of scoring ability that Hall provided. Pistol Pete should never work in this league again unless it's for the Flames or Leafs.

Ya, I think a bunch of us tried to convince ourselves he was an elite shutdown D on a fantastic contract. It made us feel better and took a bit of the sting out of the trade.
I even convinced myself he was a first pairing guy with the right partner, specifically one who could move the puck.
A few years later he is looking closer to Russell, an overpaid third pairing player.
