funny the problem in the room started since he became captain, the year without a captain, we did not hear a word about room problemsI wouldn't be surprised if this guy was a cancer in the room. The room as been divided for 4 years now, we hear of rifts and cliques. Pacioretty cant back up is talk and doesn't lead by exemple.
Goalless in 23 games *sigh*

But he’s NOT a good hockey player. Not intelligent, no heart, poor passer, poor stick handling. He could score and that’s it. One dimensional player. He might score again if traded but I seriously think he will be a guy who slowly fades away.
Pacioretty's shot sucks now, he's lost it, and it's been gone a long time.I think they feel they have no choice (it’s a dance with who brung you mentality) plus if they scratch his lazy ass his trade value goes down more. Honestly I think Hudon creates more, plays harder and has more overall talent. Pacnotready has a better shot but if it ain’t going in.....
It's factually 1 in his last 18 games.Goalless in 23 games *sigh*
Team's not only doing everything they can to tank Galchenyuk's value. By not trading Pacioretty right now they are letting the same happen with him too. The guy's worth is dropping by the day.
Hopefully some teams see Pacioretty as a player who could potentially produce in a complimentary role behind their top forwards rather than as one of the go-to guys, like here.I imagine it will depend greatly how other GMs evaluate the team. It's not impossible that some will find value where we don't and recognize under-production and poor deployments.

Kessel always produced in the playoffs though. Even in Toronto.To a contender, Pacioretty still has plenty of value in that role, much like Kessel did by landing in the right seat in PITT. He played and produced in the playoffs there as a 3rd line player early on. Pacioretty, against weaker opposition, would also provide timely secondary scoring.
Since CJ came on board...hmmm?The guy has like 15 goals in his last 60 games. If you factor ice time and tonnes of pp time, he is a third liner at this point
He does all the little things right though...
Claude Julien should not be coaching in the NHL anymore, he's done, his systems no longer work, he's slow, he doesn't understand how to put proper lines together. We need a new school coach with new ideas and systems.Since CJ came on board...hmmm?
Nice! That's the consistency you want from your captain! Way to go, Patches!It's factually 1 in his last 18 games.
He started the season 1G in his first 8 GP. Then went on a tear and scored 6G (11P) in the next 10 GP. Now it's 1G, 8P in his last 18 GP.
Oh but everyone was happy with our “captain “ when he was scoring (except me) apparently I was an “idiot” and didn’t “know hockey” when I called this clown out for what he was 2 years ago! I said he was useless and invisible when not scoring and now everyone sees it!Nice! That's the consistency you want from your captain! Way to go, Patches!
Totally agree. Would you listen to THIS guy if you were out there working your ass off while he coasts? All he does now is make faces and put his head down when his shots get stopped. He’s so out of the game, he doesn’t even get hit anymore! How does this guy still have a job!!!???I wouldn't be surprised if this guy was a cancer in the room.
