Rumor: Nick Kypreos: “We know that the Habs are actively shopping Max Pacioretty” [Mod Warning #897]

[CHfan1]

I'd do Pacioretty for Sergachev

The way they are playing you’d probably have to throw in Drouin to even that out.

 

[Milhouse40]

Pacioretty need to go.

But the return has to be a C younger or same age, an offensive LHD younger or same age or a blue chip prospect who will eventually fill those need. Nothing else.

If other pieces are needed to achieve that, no problem.
But if Bergevin doesn't get any of that, he'll be even more dumb than i think.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Top scoring forward? Wtf? Go for the picks and prospects. What a clown.

 

[sampollock]

Couple top prospects are key, players not picks

 

[OneSharpMarble]

Better late than never.

 

[Fazkovsky]

Any realistic targets ?

I know Anthony mantha is basically untouchable

I would do a trade with PHX or minny lots of young talent to trade

I’m sure minny would welcome Captain PAC since he is American boy

 

[CauZuki]

I think I'd do Mittelstadt and a pick for Pacioretty. Probably without thinking twice about it...

 

[Adam Michaels]

Francois Gagnon on Antichambre mentioned that some of the teams that expressed interest is Philly, Wings, Blues, and Penguins among many others.

 

[DAChampion]

I can see a contender like Nashville wanting Pacioretty for their second line.

Why would a non playoff team want Pac?

Ken Holland... 'nuff said.

 

[Fazkovsky]

Pac vs mantha ?

 

[Haburger]

Is molson really this blind?mb should not be making any more deals.

 

[Habs100]

Incoming Pacioretty for Duclair

Shoulda just drafted Duclair instead of going for size and drafting Connor Crisp

Philly has two firsts, and Morgan Frost. Good trading partners IMO.

Robert Thomas is the other obvious target.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Pac vs mantha ?

This is what I thought of when I heard him say Detroit.

 

[sampollock]

Connor in the peg, go get him

 

[Fazkovsky]

Connor or mantha would be good

Or Joel ek

Let’s not rush it with Pacioretty. There’s no reason to jump on an offer and settle. The season is over anyway. Pacioretty probably has a lot of value still around the league because everyone can see his problems come from a poorly structured team, not to mention his good contract. I only trade him if we get several high picks or a grade A prospect.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Connor or mantha would be good

I would be all for Mantha, but I don't want Pacioretty traded for a winger. The Habs have enough wingers to take Max's spot once he leaves. The Habs need a center and/or 1LD. Those are the two positions that he needs to be traded for if they trade him for young NHL'ers or prospects.

His cheap contract ticks down everyday. Teams want to get the most out of him while he’s on a cap friendly contract. There may be no immediate rush, but a decision has to be made soon.

 

[zx81]

Get rid of Bergevin first!!!

Exactly. I don't want MB to do the trade. We just can't trust his judgment anymore.

 

[Habfan10]

Who could be realistic targets, just a few ones that popped into my head:
Kevin Hayes - close to home for Patches
Jimmy Vesey - see above.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins - a true C
Puljujarvi - might be too high of price but Patches would be valuable to them with a low cap.
Cam Atkinson ? Struggling now but Torts wasn't a fan of Patches in the Olympics.
Duclair
Domi - struggling and seemingly losing coaches love

None of the above. I want draft picks and or high end prospects still playing junior hockey. Something like a Robert Thomas from St. Louis still playing for London and other picks.

He'd be the guy I'd aim.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Wouldn't mind Seguin as a return. Don't know what CJ would think.
