First time I've ever heard the term "mid-round pick" used to describe a pick in the first round lol. I mean, I guess it's kinda correct in the way you said it but the term "mid round pick" in the hockey world means a pick in the middle rounds, not just a pick in the middle of any round.Why would the Habs do this? a mid round pick and another R hand player on defence who spent time in the ECHL? Or a winger that is a boderline NHLer? Come on.

As for Meloche "spending time in the ECHL". He's a 20 year old defensemen with major upside. He spent time in the ECHL (5 regular season games) because Colorado shared their AHL team with St. Louis and there were two groups of AHL vets taking time. By the end of the season Meloche was San Antonio's #1D as a 20 year old.
I mean it's a hell of a post. I hope you work in sales with the way you called 16th overall a mid-round pick and then discredited Meloche for "spending time in the ECHL" when he played 5 regular season games there compared to the 58 he spent in the AHL with the final 20 or so of them playing as the top defensemen on the team as a 20 year old.
I didn't act like anybody is the second coming. I explained to you that he was the #1 defensemen on an AHL team at age 20 after your tried to classify him simply as a guy who spent time in the ECHL. If you did the math on what I said and ended up with the answer that I called him the second coming you're about as intelligent as those that run your favourite hockey team.Giving up a 30+ goal scorer (minus last year) for a pick that is halfway down the first round and a right handed dman that is not offensive or a big puck mover is not a good trade.
You act like he is the second coming which he isn't. You are just pissed because your trade makes no sense for a team in desperate need of goals.
How does Pacioretty not make sense for Colorado? Assuming Jost is their #2C which as of now he is, Colorado's biggest need is a goal scoring winger who is also tremendous in the defensive zone to help shelter Jost and the 2nd line in general. You say Patches doesn't make sense for Colorado and then you follow it up by suggesting another winger who produces less and is one of the worst defensive forwards in the game today.Montreal could get more tbh.
Plus, Patches doesn't make much sense for us (Colorado). We would be better off putting together a package to acquire Skinner.

Avs are not in a "win now" mode. Getting a player that's supposed to be a core part of the team and will be in their thirties when the teams expects to enter long term contender status is sort of silly. He might satiate a need for the team now, but not in the grand scheme of the franchise. There are better options, and even that 16th overall could easily be more valuable to the franchise building plan (even if not technically more valuable overall)How does Pacioretty not make sense for Colorado?

With Bergevin it never hurts to ask.Why would the Habs do this? a mid round pick and another R hand player on defence who spent time in the ECHL? Or a winger that is a boderline NHLer? Come on.
For me it comes down to age and speed.
If Patches came in he would be the 2nd oldest player on our team.
I simply think Skinner at 26 is a better fit for our core.
I doubt Pacioretty returns that much. Given what they got for GalchenyukTo Colorado: Max Pacioretty
To Montreal: 16th Overall + Nicolas Meloche (or AJ Greer).
That could actually workAre habs fans going to propose
Max Pacioretty for 17th pick
Max Pacioretty for 18th pick
Max Pacioretty for 19th pick
.........
Till they find a taker?
