Confirmed with Link: Pacioretty Traded to Vegas for Tomas Tatar, Nick Suzuki, 2019 2nd Part II

[26Mats]

I’d much rather have Poehling on a ELC than 2 years of Galchenyuk at 5.5 before he splits, that’s for sure. Not to mention the 2nd and Lehkonen or whoever....

What if Galchenyuk re-signs?

I’d rather not play the what if game

I'm giving you a hypothetical to get at your opinion on who is the better player. You know he'll resign, who do you think is the better player?

The question is which asset would I rather deal for Domi, and I’ve answered it.

And you think it's so funny that someone would prefer Galchnyuk to Poehling, yet you come up with this rationale that no one's every discussed: because Galchenyuk is a UFA 3 years from the trade.

 

[26Mats]

He will never catch Domi

The debate we were having isn't Galchneyuk versus Domi...

Nor was it Galchenyuk vs. Poehling.

What is Galchenyuk though really? A 50 point guy? I think Poehling will be better than that myself.

Yes, I understand your perspective: that Galchneyuk is one dimensional and not really that good (50 point guy). Whereas Poehling is a center, with a two way game and will give you 50 points.

I still think Galchenyuk can be a 60 -70 point guy. I think he would have been that last year had he been on the 1st wave of the pp on the right circle the 1st half of the season. I think Kotkaniemi would be a great center for Galchneyuk, especially in a couple years. But even now I think Galchenyuk would put up big numbers either with Drouin and Domi or with KK and Lehkonen/Byron/or even Scherbak.

I like the kid's prospects but let's see if Poehling can score a point in the NHL before we portray he's a top 6 C lol.

This whole discussion is just silly though. Domi cost us Galchenyuk. Period.

Is Galchenyuk a top 6 C? my point is that considering everything from age, to contract, tot he added additional pieces, I'd prefer dealing Galchenyuk for Domi as opposed to the hypothetical Poehling plus plus that was proposed.

But it's not. Bergevin wanted to get rid of Galchenyuk, takes offensive players for granted (Radulov, Subban, Markov, etc..), and is trying to build a team out of middle sixers. That's why we have the roster we have. I wouldn't be surprised if in his mind he'd rather have given up Galchenyuk than Andrew Shaw.

 

[No More Subban]

Poor Patches. People don't even talk about him anymore in his own thread.. lol

Out of town got it covered.

 

[Asamu]

Patch is finally getting some goals after an unprecedent slow start. I realized that he's shooting way less than he was with the Canadiens. I'm glad that he's performing like he should because otherwise that trade would be an absolute steal.

Suzuky is destroying the OHL right now and Tatar has an amazing chemistry with his linesmates. Perhaps that 2nd round pick from Vegas (Columbus) will get us a D because right now it's getting scary at the blue line .

You can think what ever you wish, but the bottom line is we traded Galchenyuk for Domi and I am happy he did.

And you can think what ever you wish, but the bottom line is I'm not happy with this shit roster.

 

[jaffy27]

I would have preferred that over Tatar+2nd.

Cap money had to be moved though, that’s the reality.....plus I really like Tatar, hard working skilled players are a treat to watch.

 

[jaffy27]

And you can think what ever you wish, but the bottom line is I'm not happy with this **** roster.

Come on Mats, this ain’t a shit roster, it has flaws but it certainly isn’t shit!!

We’re missing Weber, Juulsen, Armia and Byron.

Our LHD needs a serious overhaul and we could maybe use a power winger and 1 more Centre, but overall it’s shaping up nicely.

Pieces are being polished at the lower levels and we have 10 more picks this year.....future is bright my friend and the roster is okay!!

I feel so much better with Tatar. I know this guy won’t disapear in the playoffs or when it counts.

Pacioretty scores 2 goals after 15 games of pure trash and everyone goes nuts.

We have the roster we have because we’ve been doing good in the past decade. It’s easy to have elite talent when you finish bottom 5 for a decade
