I wouldn't trade Patches for 2 BjugstadsMore like Bjugstad for Pacioretty.
This and good luck getting a borderline top pairing D signed long term for that.
Saying we don't need Patches with the pieces already in place and the fact they missed the playoffs is a bit like saying we don't need to make the playoffs imo
I agree, but Bjugstad is younger and cost controlled.
I'd prefer for the Habs to grab picks over established players like Bjugstad.
How about Adam Mascherin, 2018 1st, and a conditional 2019 1st if he signs with Florida or 2019 2nd if he doesn't?
Mtl gets no established players and assume all the risks. Florida can always trade Patch at the deadline and easily recover their 1st and a prospect
Pacioretty is signed for another year. So unless you’re talking about a sign and trade done after July 1st(in which case Montreal would have to retain salary on all 9 years of his contract) there is no way for Montreal to retain on his new contract. Plus, I can’t imagine a single reason why they would do something like that.So if it takes more than $6 million to sign him, do the Habs retain the difference? Let's say he won't sign for less than 7.8 for 8 years. Do the Habs retain $1.8 m for 8 years? Would the Panthers give much up for a Pacioretty @ $6 million for 8 years?
