jennifer_rocket Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 I was listening to a podcast today and one of the hosts proposed Pacioretty to Dallas for Spezza + incentives. So, we take on Spezza's last year and Dallas has to give us some extra stuff to get it done. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts? seems like a pretty crappy return for one of the top goal scorers in the league for the past 6+ years. The problem is that Marc Bergevin has done such a great job at devaluing our captain its entirely possible the return will be underwhelming. Unless the "incentives" includes someone like say, Miro Heiskanen (which it wont) then im not interested. Interestingly, the other day Patches said he thought Matt Barzal was the "best skater in the NHL" - and the toughest assignment he had all year. Maybe max is hoping for a trade to the islanders. its the closest franchise to his family so i could definitely see him signing an extension there and we know MB & Lou had a tentative deal in place at the draft. The isles probably want to make a splash after losing Tavares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it sounds like they are dumping a contract and getting Pacioretty, it really depends what else we are getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennifer_rocket Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 ^^^ In regards to the responses. Yeah, we would obviously need to get more in return than Spezza and a draft pick. I'm not really familiar with any good young players in the Dallas system. Was Miro Heiskanen a pick from this year's draft? What would you all deem fair return for Pacioretty, assuming we take back the Spezza deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you all deem fair return for Pacioretty, assuming we take back the Spezza deal? Heiskanen was 3rd overall the previous year. He's probably on par (or possibly higher) than Sergachev. He's projecting as a top pair dman & would instantly make our defense respectable with Heiskanen-Weber and Mete-Petry as a strong top 4. But I just dont see Dallas moving him. Then again, who would have thought we'd have moved Sergachev. Its possible, if Dallas thinks their window is now, they move him, but i wouldnt bet on it. And i cant see Pacioretty signing a contract there, but who knows at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noob616 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 If they reportedly weren't willing to move Heiskanen for Karlsson we definitely aren't getting him for Karlsson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiLla Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Yeah, no way they trade Heiskanen for what probably ends up being 1 season of Max Pacioretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, yes... if this Heiskanen kid is too valuable to Dallas to move for Erik Karlsson we won't get him with Pacioretty. It's too bad because maas_art just sold me on him when he commented that he projects as a top pairing defender. Playing around... Would we want to offer something like Max Pacioretty + 1st round draft choice (top-5 protected) for Jason Spezza, Miro Heiskanen, and a 2nd round draft choice?

Id easily offer that but i dont think Dallas would be interested (unless it was an unprotected pick, which I wouldnt do). Smart GMs dont give up young talented puck moving defensmen... oh snap.

Honestly thats what I would do at this point. see if there was a bigger deal to be made. if we could really address a need I would give up a Mete or a Lehkonen or whatever. I think its obvious we arent going to get what we want for Patchy alone, and we really really need something to be excited about, If MB ends up trading patchy for a B level prospect and a 2nd rounder or something I think he needs to be fired on the spot. He had 1 job to do for this team this offseason and he failed spectaculary so far. we were told changes were coming and this team is going to be the identical pile of garbage it was last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its going to be worse than that. Watch for him to trade Patches for a 27-29 year old 2nd line centre + mid level pick because "thats all that was available." The next week we'll see a different GM trade a veteran LW for a top centre prospect. MMW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26NCounting Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 No way do we trade our pick this years draft, this team is soo bad we will have a shot at Jack Hughes, a top line C. If we move the first pick this year we would be setting ourselves back even further. Heiskanen will be a great D man but certainly not a first over all great. I just wish they would blow the team up totally in stead of MB doing the half assed rebuild. Move Price (as much as I hate to say that), Paks, Webber and do a full rebuild.
