Rumor: Canadiens informed Pacioretty they will not negotiate a contract extension with him

[yvrtojfk]

Montreal turned:
Pacioretty
Subban
Galchenyuk
Sergachev

Into:
?
32 y.o. Shea Weber coming off another major surgery (with 8 years left on a $7.85 cap hit)
5'9 winger Max Domi
winger forced center Jonathan Drouin

bring on the pain of the Pacioretty return

This is so f***ing sad to read.

Can we add that they turned Zadina into Kotkaniemi? I realize that it isn’t technically what happened, but it’s pretty close.

 

[SteadyFreddie]

Yeah I mean wanting to win a Stanley cup doesn't make any sense at all.

You think that Pacioretty would be the difference between the leafs winning or losing the cup ?

The leafs are fine without Pacioretty, they don't need another 3rd line winger to play with Kadri next year.

Plus he's a defensive liability.

It doesn't fit on the list because the list is a compilation of bad moves.

 

[Boxscore]

What could Buffalo offer for him?

The leafs are fine without Pacioretty, they don't need another 3rd line winger to play along Kadri next year.

Plus he's a defensive liability.

Wait who are you talking about? lmao HFboard will never stop impressing me with stupid statement.

Pacioretty, 3rd line, Defensive liability, is 3 things that don't belong in the same sentence.

 

[Devilsrock17]

i honestly was just going to right i feel like a random team like New jersey would jump in... Not realy high on your trade proposal but i realy feel like new jersey will secretly pop out of nowhere!

At this point the devils have to do something to get better lol

Not surprising to see another Leaf fan that knows nothing about Patches.
LMAO. He'd be your best winger ,best goal scoring winger while being your best defensive winger all at the same time. Some one needs to put the pipe away.

 

[rent free]

LMAO. He'd be your best winger ,best goal scoring winger while being your best defensive winger all at the same time. Some one needs to put the pipe away.

he'd be neither of these

Not even Max Pacioretty's family thinks he's a better hockey player than Mitch Marner.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Is this really a surprise? He's going to be 30 when his extension kicks in and it's going to be a high dollar, long term deal. MTL is right not to sign him to an extension given where they are right now. Try to trade him now, and if that doesn't work out, trade him at the deadline for a late 1st+.

 

[SML2]

"I quit!"
"You can't quit, you're fired!"
"You can't fire me, I already quit!"

 

[SteadyFreddie]

Pacioretty, 3rd line, Defensive liability, is 3 things that don't belong in the same sentence.

I mean, Pacioretty only put up 37 points in 64 games while getting 1st line minutes, if he were to go to an elite offensive team like the leafs, he wouldn't be getting anywhere near the amount of icetime he got while playing for the habs.

If you wanted to compare him to Kadri, Kadri was only getting 16:46 minutes per game while Pacioretty was getting 19:01 a game. Plus Kadri was playing against the other team's top offensive lines, in a defensive roll, while still being able to score 32 goals and put up 55 points in limited minutes. Pacioretty was playing on the first line, I mean if he were to go to the leafs, he'd be on the third line.

Lol come on buddy, our best winger? I think you're the one that needs to put the pipe away...

He's certainly a better overall player than Marner. Better defensively and a much more accomplished goalscorer.

 

[Dynamite Time]

Amazing to see things stoop so low for both Montreal and Ottawa, in such a short amount of time. It's like they're racing eachother to be the worst-run team in Canada.

Of course I guess this is just a rumor thread but I totally agree with you. What is MTL doing?

 

[Viqsi]

This seems like a very odd way of running a business. Assuming the reporter is accurate here, why would the team take this stance publicly? What if Max took a bargain deal to stay? Not saying he would but to just come out and publicly say your done with one of your players obviously destroys his trade value and pigeon holes you into letting him walk for nothing. Stupid stupid decision making going on.

Technically, they didn't make this public. Seems like a leak to me.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Dallas?

Something around Dellandrea?

yeah because we have never seen a player have 1 bad season and rebound... the guy needs credit for the numbers he pull off without any 1C in his whole career and you stated defensive liability when he's defensive game is on point... Pair him with any of Tavares, Matthews or kadri and you'll be suprise how good of a complimentary winger he is.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

If this is true, why haven't they traded him yet?

Because they are run by idiots

 

[Dr Pepper]

Dallas?

I sure hope not.

Why would Dallas trade their most recent first round pick, for a pending UFA?

I'm not opposed to the Stars chasing Pacioretty - especially if they don't land Karlsson - but not at the cost of depleting a prospect cupboard that's already sorely lacking.

 

[didimentionlarseller]

Bergevin can't even trade away a top scoring winger for profit

If you want to compare points or P/60 , for the habs you need to add because you wont get points playing with this D squad. Weber/Alzner/Benn/Schlemko/Juulsen are not PMD. The puck goes out by the glass, Pac was good with the stretch pass coming from Subban/Markov/Beaulieu. Anyway, i don't want habs to sign that guy. Trade him for future, and add picks and prospects. Watch out Sens you'll have competition!

 

[Reality Czech]

Is this the hockey equivalent of saying "you're fired!" before the employee says "I Quit!"

Tfw these 2 tire fires are so awful everyone forgets Hall-Larsson Barzal-Reinhart and Eberle-Strome. Yikes.
