Pacioretty has 1 down year in his entire career, but is a 5 time 30+ goal scorer before that. "He's an ok player, I guess....."
Bjugstad has one ok year (and even then 49 points isn't that special) "He's a great player, we should throw all our assets at getting him!!"
Pacioretty, in his worst year of his career, injured and misses almost 20 games, still only scored 12 points less than Bjugstad. Pacioretty = garbage, Bjugstad = star. Its like 29 years old means he uses a walking cane now, falls in the shower and can't get up. Uses stairlifts to go up and down stairs. Won't stop talking about "the good ol' days".....
Nash 33 years old
Neal 30 years old
Kessel 30 years old
Marchand 30 years old
Staal 33 years old
Pacioretty 29 years old? = its over for him. Such a risk acquiring a clearly finished player, he's declining by the end of next year he'll be retired... By the way, Pacioretty has more goals then any one of those guys mentioned above....since 11-12 season..... Playing with mostly centers who are not either under 5'8, not #1 centers or my favorite.....not even actual natural centers.....
