Pacioretty vs Skinner

Both of those trades are terrible.

huge overpay for patches and an overpay for skinner. patches value is at an all time low based on his last year and now that montreal wants to trade him ASAP. if anything any team willing to get patches has the advantage. on skinner, also on a down year, the canes are not at a great spot cap wise soon. they are kinda in a situation where they have to clear cap too. so he won't get that much either.

Over payment? Lol. Anisimov is essentially a cap dump at this’ll point. So it’s potentially two late first round picks who probably will never be impact players for a guy who constantly put up over 30 goals with no center! And he also had the worst shooting percentage of his career last season and missed 20 games, since last year is your only argument. Not saying he is worth a lot more than that trade but hab fans will be very diasappointed with that offer. Especially if Chicago makes the playoffs and that 1st rounder is in the late 20s

Bergevin is a **** awful GM, you won't have to give up that much for Patches. Plus, Habs toolbox up there is wrong, Anisimov is worth acquiring, just so long as you have someone else on his line who's really good at faceoffs, haha.

yes. jokiharju is a A+ prospect projected to be a huge impact on any team's top 4. patches is almost 30 coming off of a terrible year. anisimov is not great but did you not see free agency this year? his contract looks just fine now. anisimov and a 1st at most for patches for me.
