Rumor: Pacioretty on the move?

[Linkens Mastery]

Blues should not trade Thomas at all unless it's in a package for a guaranteed top 6 C with term. Thomas is the ONLY top 6 projected center in the Blues system.

 

[Baksfamous112]

Bergevin has no idea wtf hes doing

He traded subban bcuz he didnt get along with therrien and patches.
Now they both will be gone along with subban
Lol

Montreal have too many wingers and two BIG holes at C. Pacioretty is an excellent hockey player but you gotta give to receive. Let's wait and see what he gets in return then we can judge him.

 

[NobleSix]

If this is true, which is a big If, then the offer must be substantial for the Habs to be willing to deal him so far away from the deadline.

I would think... but it's Bergevin so substantial to us may not be very substantial at all...

 

[Baksfamous112]

Actually, "attend" in French in the verb for "expect"... I can't speak for what was said on the air but that translation is not that "he's going to be moved" It's that "he's expected to be moved"

You're right. I have updated the OP.

Not only this, but if they lose/trade Pacioretty too, then that's minus Radulov, Pacioretty, Subban, Sergachev, and Markov in such a short window. That's a contenders core right there just let go, and not for a good return (Some for no return). Not only that but then he lets all of those players go/trades them away and then signs Carey Price to an absurd contract and goes on a rampage where he just acquires 3rd/4th liners

As a Blues fans I'd be pissed as well is Thomas is moved. He's a nice piece to have but so is Pacioretty.

Well, if Thomas (big if) is on the table then it makes sense to make the move now. You don't want DA to change his mind. You pull the trigger now.

 

[Nucker42]

I like really Pacioretty but if I'm St Louis, I would not trade Kyrou.... the kid looks legit....

 

[lamp9post]

Rumours like this never seem to turn out to be true. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

I am guessing to St. Louis.

MTL
Thomas
2020 1st rd pick

STL
Pacioretty
2018 2nd rd Pick

Montreal keeps their 2nd rounder and St. Louis adds a 3rd this year.

Come on. Markov and Radulov walked. Subban got us another #1 D in Weber and Sergachev got us Drouin. It's not like Bergevin gave these players away.

 

[Legend123]

I am guessing to St. Louis.

MTL
Thomas
2020 1st rd pick

STL
Pacioretty
2018 2nd rd Pick

ur guessing horribly wrong.

 

[Irishguy42]

The rockets are 11 points out of a playoff spot. I doubt they make it.

If Patches was on the Rocket, he'd be getting 11 points a night and they'd be in the playoffs.

Habs would not be able to keep them all anyway

Price 10.5 million
Pacioretty 11 million
Pk Subban 9 million
Radulov 7 million
Weber 7.6 million
Sergachev 10 million

 

[SpezNc2]

Exactly Lavoie even said that Bergevin does not not when and if Pacioretty going to be traded. But in the same time wanted to add some mustard by saying Pacioretty would not be surprise to be traded in the upcoming days. Nothing set in stone.

Thomas to MTL would be a dream. Hard to know if STL could be willing to trade him.

Kyrou, Fabbri are others interesting names.

Fabbri is a very good player but he is injured. Will he return 100%? He is intriguing, Young, can plays center.

 

[Legend123]

Yes, they did. You understand French? Watch the video, starting at 6:15. It's pretty clear what Lavoie said.

The french dude said pacs camp is expecting to be traded not told. I speak french. And thats what was said and what i understood.

Il s'attend = He expects

 

[Baksfamous112]

I guess we'll find out soon enough. At this point of the season, it didn't make sense for Bergevin to fly out and watch a 3rd round pick play live. That's absurd and a big waste of time, especially when your team already played himself out of the playoff and you're about to sell.

Was he there to scout Thomas or Bitten? With all the rumors of Pacioretty to St-Louis and St-Louis being aggressive for a top 6 scorer, its only adding fuel to the (already big) fire. What are the odds that with all the rumors, MB scouting a junior game live where a top C prospect (exactly what Montreal needs) and a couple days later said player is reported to be on the move in the next couple of days?

 

[Legend123]

Habs would not be able to keep them all anyway

Price 10.5 million
Pacioretty 11 million
Pk Subban 9 million
Radulov 7 million
Weber 7.6 million
Sergachev 10 million

in what world does Pacs makes 11M?? And how exactly do u see Sergs alrdy making 10M after his elc? Ever heard of Bridge contracts, plus I doubt he ever makes that much.

If pacs is getting so far away from the deadline (1 full month or so), its for a lot more than Thomas. It has to be an offer that convinced Berge that he wont get any offers better.

Even ignoring the completely ridiculous figures you're throwing around, is this supposed to justify some of Bergevin's moves?

 

[Baksfamous112]

Or he really is sold on Thomas.

Agreed. Although, the Habs have to hit a home run with this trade. They absolutely have to, especially after losing their last two big trades.

11 million for Pacioretty? I feel bad for the team who pays him anywhere close to that. There's no way he gets that. Id say 8-9m would be a lot closer.

Also, Sergachev would not come anywhere close to 10 million if he were still in Montreal. Maybe on his 2nd contract, but he would not come anywhere close to that coming out of an ELC in Montreal.

Edit: Legend beat me to it.

 

[Habaneros]

If Pacmans camp is saying this, gotta be a reason.
Next few days is pretty specific time frame ...

 

[Shaffer]

Lavoie is one of the most trusted sources . . . no way he says that live without knowing Pacioretty is actually going to be traded.

 

[Habaneros]

Agreed. Although, the Habs have to hit a home run with this trade. They absolutely have to, especially after losing their last two big trades.

Yeah Pacman will get 11 million .....Austin Matthews is a goona set the new bar .....

and yes, if Sergachev keeps racking up points wins some hardware this year or next...yes, next contract he will be 10 million per year ..... Karlsson and Doughty will set the new bar...heck PK Subban got over 9 million a year...

 

[Legend123]

Or he really is sold on Thomas.

which he can wait for at the TDL
