Friedman: Teams calling Habs about Max Pacioretty Sign and Trade

[TT1]

Without an extension, good luck getting that.

The thread title literally says sign and trade..

doubt florida would want to trade a 6'6C that outscored patches last year + a pick 15 for mad max

Lol as if bjugstad didn't benefit playing with barkov and dadonov on the WING last year. And I know how many panther fans didn't even want bjugstad there. I wouldn't fall for the clear attempt of pumping and dumping a 35 to 40 pt guy in reality. It's actually pathetic on how with this linemates and pp time he only managed 49 pts. That's awful. A 6'6 player that doesn't use his size either. I've seen enough of bjugstad to know that he's overrated as hell. Plays in a nowhere market and people just assume he's a good player...he aint. He's mediocre.

where do i sign?

1-for-1 that's an awful trade

 

[MasterMatt25]

Lol...good one....patches doesn't get Bjustad straight up, and you want a first round pick also?....are you MB?

Patches doesn't get Bjugstad straight up? Are you crazy?? I'd walk up to Bergevin and fire him myself if he made that trade

Great. You'd still be fishing to get that even with the signing.

[Sens of Anarchy]

I wonder if PK is pushing to get him in Nashville

 

[Benstheman]

Lol...good one....patches doesn't get Bjustad straight up, and you want a first round pick also?....are you MB?

So now Pacioretty doesn't get Bjugstad alone heh. And you start your post by saying ''Lol... good one...''?? The joke is on you. You should learn about hockey before commenting on a hockey thread.

 

[Benstheman]

Why would Montreal sign him then trade him, couldn't the team that trades for him sign him on july 1 themselves?

It would not be a sign and trade. It is just a matter of knowing his demands for his next contract.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Yeah but haven't you heard, Montreal is a ****hole.

Well its not "California", where everyone wants to live, haven't you heard?

 

[Nevins]

Patches doesn't get Bjugstad straight up? Are you crazy?? I'd walk up to Bergevin and fire him myself if he made that trade

Rick Nash for a first round pick , a def prospect,Beleskey and Spooner......And Pacc is 3-4 years younger than Nash ...and Bjugstad=0.49 ppg and -51
Pacc=0.72 ppg and +36

You were saying.

 

[Empty Net Goal]

What about Patches for Wayne Simmons and Sam Morin?

 

[Frank Drebin]

I understand that which is why I asked why does Montreal have to sign him in this scenario because the team trading for him could do it on July 1, 2018 themselves

Oh i see. Yeah,as long as the acquiring team knows the extension expectations there is no need for a sign and trade.

 

[boredmale]

Oh i see. Yeah,as long as the acquiring team knows the extension expectations there is no need for a sign and trade.

My 2 cents is I can see Pacioretty not being traded till July 1 or 2(when a team can assure themselves of the extension) which means Montreal won't get any benefit out of it this draft

 

[tony d]

I think Patches will get traded. I have the Kings or the Oilers being his top suitors.

Guys exiting their prime years and UFA are in no way going to sign for 2 years and will get more $$ than 5.5 come on now. The next contract is why I hope he is not with LA. It will be 6-8 years and bigger money than I would want for a player his age.

 

[Dbrownss]

Not related to this, but curious...
Is Thomas NHL ready next year?

I watched him during the playoffs in St. Catharines and he didn’t really seem ready to me, but admittedly I only saw him play during those games, so...???

Yes, he'll be in Stl next year. Which one was St. Catharines?

Best wait until the 2019 trade deadline to get maximum value.

Lets just step back for a second and asses the logic of this post... Why does 29 year old soon to be UFA who has shown he can score 35 sign a 2 year deal?

 

[Isles72]

someones proposing a sign and trade ? Quick , hide the children !

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Outside the box idea, but I presume it's illegal following the CBA to retain salary on a contract that hasn't kicked in yet? Say for example we do a sign and trade (4 years @ 6.5M), could the team retain something like 750K or 1M on that deal or no?

 

[Runner77]

Well its not "California", where everyone wants to live, haven't you heard?

I know. California followed by a question mark. That's how obvious it is. Everyone wants to live there apparently. So everywhere else has to be a shithole.

 

[Runner77]

Oh i see. Yeah,as long as the acquiring team knows the extension expectations there is no need for a sign and trade.

There is nothing prohibiting any discussions. His agent will have secured a verbal agreement prior to any trade and signing him will only be a formality. It's doable but whoever is suggesting anything less than a 7-year deal is dreaming.

It would maximise the habs return and give the buying team a bit more contract certainty
