The Kinder, Gentler Version
MTL fans are suggesting OEL+5 for Pacioretty+3, which is obviously asinine. I mentioned that they'd have to add Victor Mete and keep adding from there. That got me thinking, though, what else would it take? What could we reasonably expect? Obviously MTL and ARI would need to chat with the respective centerpiece players and have a good feeling about contract situations. But what would I need from Montreal to accept the idea of trading a Number 1D for a winger that's two years his senior? Getting Zadina helps (though this costs us fifth overall). Getting Mete helps. I'm not sold on that package unless Montreal adds more. How much? Does 35th overall do it? Ehhhhh........this sucks......
