Description

I saw the Pacioretty/Bean suggestion on another thread, and I liked it. I don't think Pacioretty gets us a good NHL ready player in a position that we need help in (C or LD1), so why not get a highly regarded prospect.

The BUF trade is a tough one to do, but if you want a good C1 or C2, you have to pay for it. Originally, I had Petry in this deal, but BUF already has Bogosian and Ristolainen at RD1&RD2 with lots of money invested in those 2, so they don't really have room for Petry on their roster. Alzer (at 3.1M$ cap hit after MTL retains 1.5M$) is an affordable gamble for BUF. If Alzner comes back to form, it's a big win for BUF.

After these moves, Habs have lots of cap space to make a huge offer to Tavares. 15M$ per season is alot of money, but it'll take more from MTL to get him here.

1. How about Fleury for patchs
2. Sabres would decline. ROR>Galchenyuk Scandella>Alzner, sabres retain more money just to move up 20 spots. This doesnt address their needs. ROR is only getting moved to free cap space for Tavares or because someone missed out on Tavares and is over paying for ROR

You need patchs and a first for Bean. He was invisible last season. It's why Skinner is in such little demand. Or his value isn't as high as normal. Bean is a bluechip prospect.

Pacioretty did indeed have a down year and his value has dropped as a result, but Bean has yet to play a single NHL game so no way would 1st be included with Pacioretty, especially since it will likely be top 5 or 10 for the next few years since Montreal has a lot of organizational needs.

I was more emphasising the drop in pacts value. I mean maybe add a third or a 4th and 5th or something like that. Bean is an NHL player when he gets here. Solid lefthanded offensive d-man. Canadian from Calgary. Makes a lot of sense but I would have expected you to go after Nicholas Roy as well because he's a NHL ready player an he's french-Canadian.

MTL is losing big time! No Zadina, no pacioretty, no Galchenyuk? You know you're giving away 100 of goals potential there ? Maybe more if Zadina becomes that Elite winger we all think he'll be.
All this for a 19 yo d prospect, who'll probably be in the AHL next years, and ROR who'll be useless without wingers. No, Byron and Lekhonen doesn't match Pacioretty's production. Drouin better be tough! ahaha and the other one wanted a 1st round pick with our captain! Ishhh...
The real offer I heard about is MTL going for Hanifin with Pacioretty, but again... that's because Zadina may replace him! Paciroretty's bad year doesn't count. His value hasn't dropped since october. He's still one of best LW in the league, sorry. Better keep him and make other teams regret not giving for him.
