Commandant Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I still don't see how a younger winger who has 70+ points in all three years of his career, and 80+ last year..... is worth Pacioretty (who has zero 70 point seasons in his career) in a straight up trade. That's madness. Bergevin would be laughed off the phone for proposing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 2 hours ago, dlbalr said: Let's just say Pacioretty's trade value isn't at its peak right now considering the year he had - that made it go down, not up. Panarin, meanwhile, left Chicago and excelled which proves that he's not just a 'system' player. That only helps his value. Let's look at it this way - one year from now, Panarin's probably looking at upwards of $10 million a year on his next contract. Pacioretty's getting a raise but his next contract isn't coming close to that. If they're not close to equal on their next contract a year from now, they're not equal in a trade. How much does 2:00 on the PK/game vs none on the PK factor in to contracts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panarin's last 3 seasons: 88 goals in 243 games Pacioretty's last 3 seasons: 82 goals in 227 games They are pretty close to the same level of goal scorer, but Panarin is a much better playmaker. But nah, same value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDriveFor25 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Ok, we can all agree to disagree, but the trade value is NOT CLOSE. It would take multiple pieces plus Pacs to get Panarin. Fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXx..CK..xXx Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I think back to the Saad for Panarin deal with Chicago. It involved some prospects and draft picks going both ways. I think Pacioretty is better than Saad. I also don’t think it makes sense for Montreal to trade Pacioretty and anything else for only Panarin since his contract ends after this season as well. The trade would most likely include two or three players going each way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my view too. Last year, for example, he tries being a play maker for a while and he also tried being the energy/puck-hound on his line to contribute otherwise than with scoring (because he wasn't scoring) It screwed up his game, but he was trying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 He tripled his hits totals per game last season. His scoring fell off the map. His shooting percentage plummetted like a rock. It wasn't lack of effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I'm not sure where Ouellet would fit in (he's a fringe guy at best) but Rieder could be an interesting fit as a speedy 2nd/3rd liner. The Habs are pretty deep already on the wings, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many left-shot d-men do they need in Laval? They already have six (assuming Valiev/Taormina clear waivers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 As many as they can get: 1) they haven't hired Montreal & Laval D-coaches 2) they need to rebalance, rebuild their D prospect pool 3) we will lose a D or two through waivers 4) with the upcoming expansion draft we will lose a roster player too. Might as well stockpile LDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well stockpile LDs 1) I don't think having a D coach or not having one should impact their pursuit of a player. 2) I agree that they need to rebuild their prospect pool but Ouellet is not a prospect - he's a fringe NHL player. 3) They might lose a D on waivers - Taormina will go unclaimed and I think Valiev will as well. Lernout's (RD) a little iffy - all the more reason to focus on getting a RD (or two...or three), not more LD's. 4) Chances are that Ouellet, if signed, wouldn't still be in the organization by the expansion draft so he wouldn't be a factor for it. He'd get a one-year deal and then with arbitration eligibility next summer, would probably get non-tendered (as we saw a lot of on Monday).

Commandant Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Simon Despres, another LHD, is also out there asking for an AHL contract to play in Laval He had a bunch of concussions, went to Europe last year, and wants a path back to the NHL No word if the Habs are interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine of Loving Grace Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 All the Roussel and Rieder talk makes me think there has to be a trade coming soon to clear out some wingers, and if Pacioretty is the one getting traded, we won't be getting a forward back for him. Roussel is a gritty LW, Rieder can play wherever. There's a serious logjam on the left when you look at either natural left wingers or guys who can play the left side: Pacioretty, Domi, Hudon, Lehkonen, Deslauriers, Drouin, Byron, Danault, and DLR. Drouin can play RW (and supposedly C), Byon can play RW, Danault can play C, and DLR can allegedly play C. 9 guys for four spots. There's too many bodies before we even get into adding someone.

Here's a thought, We keep putting center onto the wing why don't we move winger's onto center. Lets put Pacioretty as our top center? I think I got heat stroke if I am thinking like this.

Spezza, Ennis, Hagelin (1 year deals) or Callahan (2 years)..... by 2020-21 I want to be ready to start competing again. Cobourn and Girardi would be another two good ones. Matt Moulson is another (1 year, $5 million), but the sabres don't need space. Kronwall and Nyquist but the Wings don't need space. Lehtera from the Flyers Mason from the Jets, but we don't have room for goalies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
