I have no ill will towards Pacioretty but I hope he is traded tomorrow for a good C prospect and a 1st 2018.

I can't see one more game of his inabilty to perform under pressure. This is not the type of player you build around but could be useful as the trigger man on a good team.

I was there last night enjoying a good game until even all the free food of the Club Desjardins couldn't compensate for a sniper's inabilty to shoot on a breakaway...Talk about leaving me wanting for more...

Did we do our deal and now we are done?

So many angles to that question. Are we better off walking away with the fair deal on Pleks and enjoy that, or do we go back to the black jack table?

We should be all over Karlsson. Weber's salary and cap structure would be perfect for Melnyck.

Very true. It would be more affordable for Melnyk to have Weber than to extend Karlsson. Weber no longer has any signing bonuses for the rest of his contract. He's at 6M for the next 4 years, then his salary falls to 3M for 1 year and then is at 1M for the final 3 years.

Ottawa will rightfully want, and will get, more than Weber, and there really isn’t much point of us going after Karlsson at this point in time. We aren’t contenders. I’d love to have him here but he’ll likely end up being the face of the Vegas franchise for years to come.

Ottawa will be looking for prospects though as they are the cheapest assets around. The way we can weasal in is by taking on Bobby Ryan... but just not sure whether that would even be worth it.

Well Point looks like he has true 1C potential, so we basically got what we were after from the trade

That "player" would be our number 1 center by a country mile. I would very much consider it since he's 21 and at a PPG.


That's fine. But Habs did a lot for this trade, they should get more. Picked up one of the worst contracts in the league and gave up their top scorer (and one of the league's top scorers) all to facilitate one of their division rivals to acquire one of the best players in the game. They need to get compensated more for their contribution to the deal. They should get a 1st for offering Pacioretty alone. And then add the 2nd for taking on Ryan's contract. And I'd insist on a prospect, as well.

So you take on Ryan's contract and give up Pacioretty and all you get is 1 player and a 2nd round pick?

No way we're getting Brayden Point for anything less than that.

Pacioretty should be going to Tampa in this crazy deal. Ottawa gets a 1st and Sergachev and a 2nd for Karlsson plus losing Ryan's contract (excellent trade for Ottawa still). Tampa gets Pacioretty and Karlsson for a 1st, Sergachev and Point (still not a good trade for them), Montreal gets Point for Pacioretty and taking on Ryan's contract (good trade for us)

Tampa with a top 6 of Kucherov, Stamkos, Pacioretty, Gourde, Johnson, and Namestikov, and Top 3 D of Hedman, Karlsson, and Stralman. Pacioretty would be their kessel...
