LA seems like a good bet for Pacioretty after that deal IMO. They improved their D, losing only a middle of the pack forward and traded young depth for veteran depth. This makes it clear that they are still in a win now mode.
Clague + JAD + 1st is a realistic package IMO. I don't think we can get Clague + Vilardi and the drop off from Vilardi to JAD is smaller than Clague to their next best D prospect.
Pacioretty - Kopitar - Brown
Pearson - Carter - Toffoli
Iafalo - Kempe - Lewis
Clifford - Thompson - Mitchell
Forbort - Doughty
Muzzin - Martinez
Phaneuf - Ladue
Thats a pretty good lineup.
LA feels like a team who just wanted to slightly bolster its depth without giving up much. The Robitaille/Blake management has yet to make a significant move at all. I think teams in general are increasingly aware that the right way to build a succesful team is through draft + patience. Opposite of a team who would make a big splash for MaxPac. Imo. Your package is a lot lore realistic than the usual Vilardi pipe dreams tho.
