Confirmed Trade: [CAR/VGK] Max Pacioretty and Dylan Coghlan for future considerations

[King'sPawn]

They couldn’t just move Pietrangelo? Oh right.

Have fun where you’re goin!

Give them 2 or 3 seasons to trade him

The VGK reportedly treat the players very well while they are here. Despite the rantings of fans (which are pretty much always wrong), it would be interesting to know what number of players have actually put the VGK on their no-move list. Otherwise, it is professional sports team made of players who are being paid to do their job, not an emotional support group for young millionaires.

There's quite a bit more overlap between those two things than you're giving credit. I'd agree that players probably aren't including VGK in their no-trade clauses. It's a very fun place to be rich; again see the bolded.

Vegas has probably the most inept management in the league. And that says a lot with Ken Holland still managing teams.

And hextall, and fletcher

 

[McDavid is too whiny]

The Golden Knights front office reminds me of the Joker in The Dark Knight. “Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I’m a dog chasing cars. I wouldn’t know what to do with one if I caught it. You know? I just do things.”

VGK is bit of a joke but I wonder Since they were trying to dump Patch, Patch likely wasn’t happy about it and since he can block a trade to 10 team he was able to block basically all team that had interest or cap space and somehow CAR knew they were the only team in the running, Is agent is also Fleury agent and he has a grudge with VGK.
Because if VGK call CAR and says I’m moving Patch and I would like a 2nd and a 4th or 2 x 3rd, unless you know they don’t have any choice, I can’t see anyone countering with how about future consideration… they probably take the deal or counter with one 4th or 5th rd pick but future considerations that is a pretty insulting offer… especially since CAR have tons of prospect.

Even if they don’t want to go to Vegas they likely don’t inclus it in there NTC, since guy that get NTC usually make a bit of money and VGK don’t have any cap space so it almost sure that they aren’t a potential destination and even if they were there likely a few place they rather no be + less taxes. so I don’t think Vegas in on many no trade is any at all, it most likely canadiens cities and BUF, ARZ and other rebuilding team or far from their families…

If it's getting the guy to help them go deep in a playoff run...Pacioretty is not that guy. He plays so he can swing his golf clubs comfortably and painlessly after the season's over, which he helps terminate early by not driving the net since after the Letang suspension.

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

Once again, Vegas is literally the only team that people complain about trading their players. It's truly baffling.

It's not that they're trading their players. It's that they're

* Trading guys away and not telling them prior to those players finding out on Twitter they've been traded.
* Giving away legitimate NHL players for literally nothing.
- Nate Schmidt for a 3rd
- Patches here for nothing.
- Fleury for nothing
* Signing Vadim Shipachyov and simply not using him to the point where he just was done with the team and went home.
* Trading draft capital like drunken sailors (1st, 2nd, 3rd to Detroit for Tatar to have him play like five games for them and none in the playoffs.

They were successful in 2018 because they pulled together a bunch of "junk" from other teams into a cohesive team that was really strong. They've since scorched through all of that chemistry and ran themselves headlong into the salary cap so hard they have to just jettison pieces for nothing.

This sums it up better than I ever could

There's a rumor out there that Max tore his achilles tendon today and is out until at least the all star break. The person that tweeted this has since deleted the tweet and is NOT a verified insider so take it with a grain of salt. But, he/she, has called a couple of things recently before others (the retention on Burns, who else was coming to the Canes in that deal and who the Canes were giving up in that deal, the Necas signing shortly before the Canes announced it, etc...) so we are a bit concerned about it. I guess we'll know how legit he/she is in a day or two.

I would certainly hope so. But I read the other day it's turning a little faster.

The world keeps turning is a euphemism for "More drama"

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

And now the Canes get to pull a Kucherov.

In all seriousness, if real then get well soon Max!

LOL, I know that. I was just being sarcastic and poking fun of your post.

 

[ForsbergForever]

A torn achillies for MaxPac would pretty much be career over at this point no? It's usually a pretty devastating injury and players never seem to come back fully from it, he's also 34 and just coming off a major injury.

 

[StorminSnvechnAho]

Pretty sure he's 33... the tweet looks suspect.... Unless the Canes are pulling a Tampa.. With Necas signing today and the aggressiveness we have had this off season I guarentee we at least make an offer for Kane.

So is the tweet suspect, or do you guarantee they go after Kane? Because both of those can't be true.

Do you mean, "As the world turns"? Which I believe was a soap opera?

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

That’s why it’s so damn hot out.

 

[montreal]

hope he's ok, have been a fan since we drafted him.

 

[hangman005]

I'd take it with a truck load of salt until confirmed by reputable sources. Thankfully I haven't heard any rumours of injury to Future Considerations so theres that.

 

[AppalachianFinn13]

It's just a scratch.

Who needs Achilles tendons anyway?

 

[StorminSnvechnAho]

They could easily both be true... The Canes make a serious push for Thatchuck after the Burns/Pac deals, Necas signing his bridge makes it more likely as he's one of the peices that others have requested in several different sets of trade talks.
