CGY would love to add a sniper like Pastrnak. Goals win games.
BOS rightfully values Pastrnak exceptionally high, as does CGY / Gaudreau. Could see a swap of similar quality prospects at different positions (not sure where BOS has needs, but CGY would like to open an AHL roster spot for Parsons.) Can't see BOS paying more in the extra pieces.
1) Gaudreau + Rittich // Pastrnak + 2nd -- works for CGY....what is a Tier 1/2 goalie prospect worth to BOS?
2) Gaudreau // Pastrnak -- why split up Marchand / Bergeron / Pastrnak line in BOS?
Within 1-2 years, Pastrnak is due for a $6.5 - $7.5M) contract (comps: above Forsberg, 35-45 goals equals Tarasenko), so structure would factor that in. Might be some relative cap savings to BOS by taking Gaudreau.
