Regis22 Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 I guess he thinks if Weber wasn't hurt , Price, Max, JD, and the entire D played better this IS a playoff team and then anything can happen but doesn't . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caperns61 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 At this point just moving players out, anyone over 25 makes sense, I am not even so much worried about the return,draft picks or young prospects, I am more interested in starting over,with a brand new motto No Excuses ?

BigTed3 Posted February 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Elliotte Friedmann confirming that Florida has interest in Pacioretty and adding that MP has a home there and some family with homes there, so that it could be a good fit for him to re-sign long-term... he throws out a possible fit could be a Pacioretty for Bjustad trade, with the hold-up being that the Panthers have been moving Bjustad back and forth between center and wing and that this concerns the Habs, who absolutely feel they need to get a top 2 center back for Pacioretty. So after the failed AG and JD experiments at center, the tea cannot afford to get a player who can't play down the middle. Henrik Borgstrom remains another possible target from Florida...

Noob616 Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Pacioretty for Bjugstad would be a disaster. I have a hard time seeing a fit between the Habs and Panthers, Trocheck is maybe the only semi-realistic fit but I can't see Florida moving him.

There are some interesting pieces there but I think it would take several top end prospects like Borgstrom + Schemitsch + + but i think we want at least one established player in the return. Id happily do Pacioretty 1 for 1 for Barkov or Trocheck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally i would call that "vote of confidence", the death blow. I don't think that applies with Molson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habsisme Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Unfortunately I don't think Vilardi is available Boston: first-round pick in 2018, a seventh-rounder in 2019, prospect Ryan Lindgren, and forwards Ryan Spooner and Matt Beleskey to New York for Nash That has to be the absolute floor for what Pacioretty is worth. I'd already be interested though I think he's worth much more and I wouldn't want Beleskey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gotten used to not watching hockey. So if it takes longer, it takes longer. The only sad thing is we really have some nice pieces that we can get a good amount for and we're losing that window of return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one wants Beleskey, but the Rangers are paying only half his salary and they can bury 60% of that in the AHL if they choose, so it's only costing them 875k or so per year. Not a huge deal considering how much salary they're dumping. So basically a 1st, good prospect, and decent middle 6 NHL player for Nash, who is himself older and an upcoming UFA. Pacoretty is younger, a better player, and has another year at a reasonable salary. He's got to be worth way more than Nash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also better contract, one more on an amazing deal. I honestly think that there are a bunch of teams that want him, there has to be. He is the best player available. Only issue is he didn't have the best season THIS YEAR (still better than Nash) and he's a winger (so is Nash) and I think smart GMs value Centers and Dmen much more than wingers.
