It's about time Mcphee is due for another Erat for Forsberg trade. He's shown in the past he will give up top prospects if he feels his team is close. Can we for one time ever be on the Forsberg side of the trade.
Pacioretty for... Glass + 1st ?

Would Panthers consider:
Pacioretty (extended at 7x7.25)
Petry
Hudon
For
Borgstrom
Roster player/Cap dump.
They already have Barkov/Trocheck , adding Pacioretty/Hudon and a top4 D in Petry might convince them to sacrifice their young C...Probably not though.
Maybe as early as 2019-2020 we could see this roster (I am dreaming , I realize this):
Drouin - Borgstrom - Gallagher
Domi - Poehling - Scherbak
Lekhonen - Kotkaniemi - Armia
Byron - Danault - Shaw
Hard pass. That contract alone is terrible and a big reason why the Panthers should not be in the Pacioretty sweepstakes. Also no thanks on a Petry for Matheson swap.Like the basis but i would want Matheson as part of the deal if you are giving up Petry.

forgot to quote both posts. it was 7 for 7.25Huh? What contract alone is terrible?
With Dallas in on Karlsson, wonder if they might be interested in paying us to take Hanzal off their hands. Probably just a mid round pick + Hanzal for a depth player/AHLer.
I like the idea of bringing in a solid vet like Hanzal short term (he has 2 yrs left @ $4.75) to insulate our young players a bit. Might even be able to let Drouin play the wing. We could run Hanzal - Danault - Plekanec - Peca/DLR down the middle. Tankerific...
I would prefer Spezza a lot more, much more upside and there's only 1 year left.With Dallas in on Karlsson, wonder if they might be interested in paying us to take Hanzal off their hands. Probably just a mid round pick + Hanzal for a depth player/AHLer.

Hanzal or Spezza... getting either with some sweetener would be a wise-move.
Drouin absolutely should be moved back to the wing, we need him to regain and grow his confidence, not spend another season miscast and loaded with expectations and scrutiny that are not his fault.... MB seems focused on setting up his best assets to fail pretty consistently for some reason.
i wonder if the Weber absence will cause MB to be more agressive in his interest in Faulk now.
Our blueline without Weber is close to the bottom of the barrel league wide.
That'd be the most stupid thing to do... wasting assets on him
Depends the price to pay. Not like we are busting at the seams with good RHD.

Well, it's probably our best/deepest position : Weber, Petry, Juulsen, Brooks, Fleury
And what would that do for us? It won't make us a contender. I say we ride with what we have.
the raw potential vegas is getting is ridiculous high this trade cannot take the chance on adding another potential star player from montreal POV. its crazy how MB managed to have this team destroyed in its core..
pacioretty in hot streak happening lets say if he stays with us for the beginning of the season should rocket his value... wich lets face wouldnt surprise me at all... he just has the skillset in control in general its not like he lost his skill he lost is confidence but that wouldnt be a first either. it was an unusual and very negative season for all members of du ch.
Weber is out. Petry is fine. Juulsen could maybeee play third pairing and brooks and fleury are AHL bound at the most for now.
Lernout can play bottom six RHD with Benn playing part time there too.
It would give us the closest thing to a #1 RHD we could reasonably trade for on the market right now. And would be a great #2 RHD behind Weber when he comes back.
I know we arent contenders,but the team hasnt taken a rebuild approach. We still have Price and Weber. As long as those pieces are on the team, we cant bottom out. Last year was exceptional, im not expecting Price to match his worst career season and even if Weber comes back in december. He will still be here for the majority of the season ,which wasnt the case last year.
