Pro patchy
- Top 10 wrister's in the league
- 40 goal scorer with a real #1 C
- Amazing contract

Bad patchy
- Lazy without the puck
- 6' 2 220, plays like he's 5' 10 185
- No grit
- most hits are bumps to make the score sheet look better
- refuses to play without DD. He does this because he knows DD gives him the puck 100% of time which is the only time patchy shines.

I like him on my team because he's the only pure scorer for now, and his contract makes it a very good deal. I'd trade him for someone like E.Kane for obvious reason's that I've mentioned on another thread.

I don't think he "refuses" to play without DD. I've seen Max play PK with Eller and Plekanec and he's looked good.

I'm not making this up, I've said this at least 10 times this year when he didn't have DD at centre. He does not want anyone centering him other than DD. Pay attention during games, players actions and reactions to things speak volumes.

PS: patch isn't stupid enough to expect MT to put DD on the PK....

 

[Carey Chant]

Very curious to see him play with higher end talent on team USA. If he can score with a smurf at center just imagine what he can do with an allstar C. Just don't let him take penalty shots....

 

[Frank Drebin]

he totally blew off gallagher last night after his second goal.

[Montreal Impact FC]

He is stepin up big time... got to say, i'm impressed. He is getting hungrier.

Yea kinda felt bad for Gally... Earlier in the season MT tried Briere at center on Patches' line. Briere ended up scoring off a pass from Patches. Patches' face was priceless lol

Well to be fair, there's nothing wrong with wanting to salute the guy who made the nice pass to give you the goal. If it was Gallagher who fed him and he blew him off to go celebrate with DD, that would be weird

Lol, yeah that would be weird. I noticed it last night watching but I didn't pay too much attention, but when ThePriceIsRight44 made his comments a light bulb kind of went on.

Fewer goals would result.

not a big DD fan but hes a great playmaker and thats what snipers love

 

[Freaky Habs Fan]

I'd be willing to trade him for another young player with more upside. Evander Kane comes to my mind...a real power forward type of player...

 

[MathMan]

MaxPac has no business being more physical because he always has the puck. He's a great possession driver and a shot-generating machine. If he were more physical it'd mean he was less effective.

And where does the notion that he's lazy come from, anyway?

He didn't seem to mind playing with Gomez or Statsny, so where does this thing about him refusing to play with other centres come from? I actually thought him and Eller looked really dangerous together at the beginning of the season, but then Patches got injured.

hes a big lanky guy and his stride looks really really effortless. it sometimes makes it look like hes lazy but i dont think he is

His love for Desharnais is actually kind of annoying. Blows off Gallagher and goes right to DD for a quick makeout session.

Probably faked an injury so he could get off that line and go back to DD's line

 

[Habs 4 Life]

2 terrible penalty shots. Trade him for a pick!!!!

 

[Uber Coca]

People wanted to trade Plekanec before the season started, too. I guess what I'm trying to say is that dumb ideas travel through time.

 

[De Montreal]

He is really good but I don't see him (nor DD) as a go-to-guy.

You know he will get shadowed in playoff...

 

[MathMan]

That's the case for a lot of guys with that frame, actually. There's also the expectation that they'll hit everything in sight and/or spend their life in the crease, even if it's not the most productive thing they could do.

Well if they ever want to move Galchenyuk at center, trading Plekanec is got to be the option. DD probably would be very hard to move therefore you move Pleks to open that spot for Galchenyuk

The return should be a decent one if the Habs would want to move him. Maybe not right now but in the off season they're going to have to think about it depending on where they want Galchenyuk to be playing down the road

 

[Hab-a-maniac]

Only on HFboards would fans want trade a guy who could score 40 this year (in 73 games no less)! His contract is also highly awesome. We've got him another 5 years after this for 4.5M per. Do you know how much he could make if negotiating his deal this year? Could command at least 6M and would get more on the open market. I'd rather get whatever I could for DD, Bourque, Gionta, Briere, hell even Gorges! But not Maxpac. He's only behind Subban, Price, Galchenyuk and Markov in untradeable assets on this team for me. He needs a real centre and he could be a 40 goal scorer consistently.

You don't move Galchenyuk at center unless you're confident he's able to play there. Plekanec has been the most consistent player for the last 5 years and hopefully he's still here because this team wouldn't stand where it is now.
