Question now is -- how does Pacioretty come back as a Hab to start the season? Or will the dominos that fall after the UFA market, create an opening for him with a team that falls out of the UFA bidding? If there is such a team, who's to say Pacioretty will like them enough to engage in negotiations for an extension. It's a quagmire anyway you slice it.
If the cost to acquire him downspirals so much that the Habs would prefer keeping him, he'd have much better value at the TDL.
