Friedman: What will happen with Pacioretty?

[justafan22]

6. Sometime before Round 2, Montreal went to Max Pacioretty with a trade offer from the Kings. An extension was included. It was time-sensitive, because 2018 draft picks were included. Pacioretty said no, and switched agents to Allan Walsh. Can it be revived? Not sure. I do think the Kings considered adding two scorers, not stopping with Ilya Kovalchuk. But the issue is going to be Pacioretty’s next contract.
I do believe he would like to play in Los Angeles, but would also like to make up for what he left on the table with the Canadiens. LA can’t fit that. Pacioretty is upset and the Canadiens are upset, so even though word was they may keep him now, that’s going to be awkward if it happens. GM Marc Bergevin will revisit this, maybe depending on who misses their target on July 1.

Apparently the relationship between his agent and Bergevin ended up with Patches getting unfair offers. Since he didn't feel like his agent was representing him appropriately he changed representation.

If they make him an offer he finds fair I'm sure he'll accept the trade but if not he is better suited for free agency next year.

Victor Rask + Julien Gauthier for Pacioretty

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

He must be asking for $7+ long term

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

I really wonder what was the offer ?

Also, if Pac accepts the trade, do the picks still qualify to being traded to the other team ?

Well he doesn't have a NTC so they can trade him to whoever gives them the best offer

done

 

[vokiel]

The guy is going to be traded dirt cheap ala Gorges. Book it!

 

[BatVader]

Why are they even asking his permission. He doesn’t have an NT/MC.
Just trade his ass.

Friedman missed the part: HFBoards was upset there was no trade!

LA wanted an agreement to sign him

When he refused the offer they didn't accept the trade.

Has nothing to do with a No trade clause

I'm thinking that Montreal only gets the return they want with an extension in place for him. The rental price has to be lower so Montreal is trying to make the most of their assets right now. If they're only trading him with an extension in place then Patches holds the power.

Hopefully Montreal will get off that and just sell him as a rental for as much as they can but it seems like they might wait for the deadline to do that.

Because Bergevin is trying to get better value by pulling off a sign and trade. If Pacioretty says “I’m not saying unless I get X amount” and the receiving team can’t pay that, then he’s only worth a rental return.

Teams get desperate at the deadline. For MTL's sake, you hope he has a rebound season and ship him off at the deadline regardless of if he signs an extension or not

 

[Help]

I should hope they'd hold onto him until the reg season unless someone really knocks their socks off. Patch is coming off a 96.8 PDO season. Selling now is dumb. His value will only increase upon playing some games

They must have been some low valued contracts being offered if MTL isn't trading w/o extension, Patches refusing extensions and then subsequently fires his agent. Good on him, Kane got 7x7 (albeit younger), JVR/Perron/Neal are similar aged, wait to see the $$$ they get

I was thinking the same thing. Must have been offensive offers for him to take that action but apparently Brisson and Bergevin are good friends so there was a conflict of interest between Patches trying to get his full worth and Brisson being loyal to his friend Bergevin. About as unprofessional as I would expect though.

really?...have you seen him play lately?.....IMO it will continue to decrease

 

[Devilsrock17]

He should of just took the trade offer.The kings have a lot of talent and he just adds to the mix they could be a contender with him

disagree - patches gets shit on soooooo hard on these boards its ridiculous. From his current status, his value can only improve. Its shitty to see whats going on with him in MTL but the dude can score and will make any team better.
