TO MTL: 2019 1st, 2021 3rd, Sprong and one of Hagelin or Brassard (or both for a massive cap dump).
TO PITS: Pacioretty + Scherbak
I dunno...I think I'm off my rocker...
Add Byron, retain 50% of salary. Habs save the Pens 6 Million and give them 50G and a good prospect. They could play Max and Byron on the 4th line at that price. And they could still sign or trade for another 6 million player.
So you think you can get Vilardi, Thomas or borgstrom?
Oh man, you couldn’t be further off
I specifically said no team would part with an established #1C or 2C and that we would only be able to get a center prospect. So I don't even understand how you disagree when you just wrote the same thing.Disagree sorry. I think a contending team would part with a young C top prospect, which would be a 2 on this team. Some teams actually plan ahead and have depth, unlike Bergefool.
Weber To Toronto for
Ist 2019 + Dermott + Kapanen
i think alot of you set yourselves up for disappointment. Then, through no fault of your own,due to your own disfunctional cognitive thinking, end up blaminf bashing Bergevin.
In a vacuum, Pacioretty is worth a Borgstrom/Viliardi,Thomas, +. But in reality, no team will give that up in this cap driven system.
All teams want elite players on elc contracts. Thats a big piece of the cup contending puzzle. So forget those pieces.
We need to acquire the 1st round pick,and nice complimentary pieces. Aim for the organizations 2nd or 3rd best prospect instead of their best. Maybe aim for an under-used,younger roster player,ala Armia or W.Karlsson.
disfunctional cognitive thinking? Oh **** off already. Come on now.. get real. Its been 6 f***ing years of spinning the tires, AT BESTThen, through no fault of your own,due to your own disfunctional cognitive thinking, end up blaminf bashing Bergevin.

Assuming Pacioretty goes for a prospect + 1st...you'd trade Scherbak for a 3rd and cap dump ? Why ?
...and you would add Byron on top of that ? Again...why ? You're just wasting the very few assets we have ?
I think anyone including scherbak in a a trade proposal is not seeing where we should be heading. Scherbak is one of our young bright spots with potential along with mete and Juulsen these are exactly the players we should be keeping.
Room. We have too many W. Sprong is a natural RHRW, Scherbak is a LHRW. Sprong is potentially an upgrade on Scherbak.
With Gallagher, Sprong, Armia, Byron and Shaw, we are stacked on RW. This, without consideration that Lehkonen can play either W.
Scherbak hasn't proven all that much yet, even on the AHL, number are good but not great. Getting a 2nd would be better but PITS can't allow that if you look at their picks.
Also keep in mind that Pacioretty gets moved with no extension to his contract, meaning he could walk away from PITS.
All things considered, MTL could easily ask for another prospect for the cap dump or dumps if we take on both of Hagelin and Brassard.
On Mete and Juulsen I totally agree because our prospect depth won't produce any other viable options before 2-3 years. Our Forward group has many more options which - if need be - may make Scherbak "expandable" - especially if you acquire back another high end prospect.
Sprong is 1 year younger and has 1 more years under contract before RFA status.

Scherbak is to get Sprong who was in the deal.
If you drop Sprong and replace him with another prospect lower down then drop scherback.
Okay, in that case, you value Sprong more than I do.
Personally, I think Pacioretty for Sprong + 1st + capdump is a fair offer. But I have to admit, I haven't paying a lot of attention to Sprong since his injury, and always assumed his value dropped after that.
Carolina just signed DeHaan. They have a clear abundance of young dman. I'd be offering them Pacioretty + ?? for Jake Bean + ??
Bean is a LHD that just turned 20 years old. He could play in Laval next year. Fill an immediate need. I'd also ask for Lucas Wallmark, former 4th round pick who is doing really good in the AHL. He's stuck behind the Aho, Teraivenen, Lindholm, Rask, Staal, Skinner, Williams in Carolina and wont get top 6 opportunity. Here he could have a shot at being our 1st line centre at camp.
