rebuilding with a different wording.
rebuilding without saying it's a rebuild, from habs management
How is your guys cap situation? Do you need to hit the cap floor still or do the Price and Weber contracts keep you up there?

All the evidence points to Patches no longer being a good fit for the Panthers yet every time Pacioretty's name is mentioned, the Panthers and Borgstrom are not far behind.
LOL that Eklund is a genius. He words all his predictions in a way that he can say "well i wasnt wrroooong" . He writes the article like "patches is 100%" getting traded, but unless Patches finishes his career in Montreal, he'll have been right one way or the other.
Can Tampa evne afford him? What can we get?

I mean florida are good down the middle for the YEARS to come with trocheck and Barkov but i still don't see them trading Borgstrom to them... i was be ecstatic if it did happen tho... Not putting any hopes into this!
i am aware of the name of pacioretty keep coming back to florida, If it is the case, they would realy go for it this year? put pacioretty on the 2LW and hoffman on the 3LW then trade hoffman or something next year? i don't know what to think about this one, can't wait till its done tho

Habs are well above the cap floor, currently at about 66.5m. They have roughly 13m in cap space.

You can't rebuild with Weber and Price on the team with those contracts.

I think the "plan was retooling"
Once management noticed how UFA did not even want to have a discussion to play in Montreal it's becoming more and more obvious that it's a rebuild more than a retool.
After Pacioretty, I'm assuming Weber and maybe even Price might be potential assets to trade even if Price might be hard to trade with that cap. Pretty sure a few teams would want him

not really, he worded the "rebuilding" into something else but it means the same.
" they are stacking up prospects and picks" that is the real phrase.

He would but the Blues don't want to trade a top prospects
Blues also traded their 1st for next year
I just don't see them still being interested in Patches
Kings or Panthers
Nashville makes no sense I see no spot there for him,The Panthers are getting cocky now they already have a great top 6. I can see a few underdog teams land him. Rangers,Devils,Sharks,Bruins,and I'm not counting out the Kings yet.

$58.8 is the cap floor and the Habs have $66.5M at the moment. Factor in the RFA contracts in Danault, DLR, and Armia and we likely are well above the cap floor. Then subtract Patch (if traded) and we likely sit around $70M (+/-). We can even trade Weber and still above the cap floor.

"Just spoke to a source about Pacioretty trade coming".
Read that again. If I ask someone if they think a McDavid trade is coming, and they say no, I have technically talked to a source about a McDavid trade coming.

I think they where before the ROR trade took place as they where linked from the trade deadline but I have to agree, that they out of that hunt. Unless they pull off another trade like some said with Steen, Sammy, and Waltman which I doubt is enough or the Blues would part with Steen unless a contract extension was involved since Steen has the years left. I think that was more why Blues went hard on ROR because the contract had years left on it.

Legit sources aren't linking Patches to the Panthers anymore. Its people like Eklund and Murphy/Habs fans who fantasize about Borgstrom in their lineup.

Thank God they moved on from pestering Kings fans about Vilardi. My sympathies go out to you Panthers fans.

We dont have the cap or roster space for ROR unless St. Louis moves Steen out. Given his NTC....that's not going to happen.
