Rumor: Max Pacioretty nearly traded Tuesday night at the draft - TVA Sports

[Sugi21]

That trade would make absolutely no sense.

don’t Oilers need scoring wingers?

 

[Erep]

And people think there is a market for guys like Tyler Johnson...

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

With the amount of high quality players they are willing to lose in order to get Pietrangelo, if Pietrangelo leaves STL I hope it is to Vegas so I won't have to see him in the playoffs.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

That really is a misconception, driven largely by the playoff against the Rangers in 2017. Over the course of his career, he's averaged .726 points per game. Including that 2017 playoffs, his ppg average in the post season is .623. That's not a huge drop off at all. Remove that year and it's .673.

If he isn't scoring he is 100% useless.

He is a cap liability for teams who want to win a Cup.

He'll definitely help teams make the playoffs so he isn't terrible.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

The Jets' GM said he had an awfully tempting offer on the go right before they picked at #10. I really don't think Patioready fits into the Jets' needs at all, so probably not us unless it was a bigger exchange.

 

[belair]

don’t Oilers need scoring wingers?

The Oilers need a third line center, a backup goaltender and a one year replacement for Oscar Klefbom, who averaged the fifth most icetime per game in the league last season.

No, scoring wingers aren't high on the list of needs.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Same thing happened to him on draft Day for the Habs.

Deal in place with LA I believe and it fell through.

Now same thing with Vegas... What are the chances?

 

[BLONG7]

It's funny how in retrospect Bergevin was right. He said there are players who get you to the playoffs and players who get you through the playoffs. Just a shame for the most part he tossed away the playoff heroes like Eller, Markov, Radulov and Subban for guys like Patches and Gallagher who never show up when it counts. Still funny to me every time the media hypes up Gally as the heart of the team despite him never making a difference in the playoffs.

Bergevin doesn't know much about the playoffs though.............

 

[periferal]

Thanks for Suzuki and Tatar suckas

I mean Max Pacioretty is the opposite of the kind of player I'd ever want to trade for, but let's not get arrogant here. Vegas got swindled in that deal and still they're cup contenders while the Habs are on a treadmill to nowhere.

 

[Super Cake]

I mean there was one move that this team could have done to clear some cap, but they didn't have the balls to do it.

Didn't fall through max didn't want to sign a long term deal in la so te deal had to be scrapped.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Knights would be wise to make room for a #1 center. They are ok down the middle but I can’t see them winning with their current group.

Reminds me of when the Leafs added Tavares, but needed a RD, except the reverse. Coincidentally, the Leafs might be their main competition outside of St. Louis.

 

[Captain97]

Lol, watch back to the Habs cause he is literally what they need now an elite triggerman.

If you say so

 

[japhi]

That's what people said about Datsyuk and Zetterberg, until they did win with them.

add Steve Y to the list of guys that were doubted in the playoffs and then became legends. Its almost as if this is a team game....

 

[Chipdagger]

Wait... isnt Tatar the guy thats going to walk in freeagency next year?

I don’t know is he

 

[Galaxydoggystyle]

I wouldn't mind alex tuch depending on if we we don't get hall or hoffman.

not true, he is very responsible defensively and in MTL he killed penalties

Funny how some think MB tossed away players.
We got Weber for Subban. I'd do that trade 10 out of 10 times. Radulov wanted to leave. Habs offered the same money that the Stars did and Rad went to the Stars ON HIS OWN.
Markov was at the end of his career. It was a business move.
Eller was never that good.

Clownish take.

Suzuki was the piece and he's staying.

 

[periferal]

If you say so

I don't say so. Reality does, and I'm just observing that.

 

[Captain97]

There was actually a year where he even got Selke votes. Not a lot but the fact that he got any shows he is no slouch in his own end.

Correct. But we shouldn’t expect anyone posting in player threads to actually know anything about the player being discussed.

 

[ole ole]

I don't say so. Reality does, and I'm just observing that.

Your team has a boatload of players you described. Useless without the puck.
