Description

After a disappointing season, Vegas U turns and trades Pacioretty in a 3 way trade.

Vegas
-Max Pacioretty 50% retained, Alec Martinez, Nicolas Roy, Nolan Patrick, Brett Howden.
+2023 Washington 1st round pick, 2022 Washington 3rd round pick, Rasmus Asplund.

Washington Capitals
-Hendrix Lapierre, 2022 Washington 3rd round pick, 2023 Washington 1st round pick
+Pacioretty 75% retained, Nolan Patrick.

Buffalo
-Rasmus Asplund, 25% retention on Pacioretty's contract
+Hendrix Lapierre, Nicolas Roy, Alex Martinez, Brett Howden

Doing so, they also dump Martinez and pick up Asplund, who looks to be a promising winger underachieving on a struggling team. They re sign Smith on a long term low cap hit contract.

Given the current state of the East, it’s foolish for the Caps to give up all that for Pacioretty. I really like him as a player, but it’s clear that the way forward has to be the young guys

Detroit declines. We don't need more goalies, we have ongoing contract negotiations with Hellberg for next season.

If all it costs for a half retained Pacioretty (plus Patrick) is a 1st and 3rd, I think any team would offer that and more

Better bet is to move Dadanov for a Ltir contract and you save more cap.
