<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kotkaniemi15</b></div><div>He’s an amazing player, and one of my favourites to ever wear the habs Jersey. But a return of Suzuki (who will end up as a better player than Patches), a consistent 25 goal scorer, and a pick that nets the other team an extremely talented prospect is an overpayment. While I know that it wasn’t necessarily much of an overpayment at the time of you consider the 2nd as incentive to take on Tatar, in hindsight it would’ve been better asset management to not make the deal. But like I said, while what they gave up has more value than what they got, it’s all worth it if Pacioretty helps them win a cup.</div></div>

I still can't believe an expansion team got Mark Stone and Pacioretty right out the gate.
They also have Cody Glass so Suzuki was good trade asset for them

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Suzuki_Cup</b></div><div>You're a little hard. No way Tatar + Suzuki + Norlinder isn't a+.
Domi vs Galchenyuk should be at least A imo. Galchenyuk is getting nowhere and we will soon get a nice return for Domi.
Weber for Subban is probably a B+. We got the best leader in the league for a team in rebuild, he's less expensive and plays way better. Doesn't seem to slow down for now.
Danault + Romanov for Weise and Fleischmann... I'm still laughing.</div></div>

I think the Pacioretty trade worked for both parties. He's an absolute machine for Vegas and if he helps them win the cup this year, I might even side with Vegas on that one tbh . Tatar at the time was terrible and a healthy scratch in the playoffs. The extension to pacioretty is key here

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wabit</b></div><div>MN is also taking on $5m+ in cap. Riikola isn't young (27 this Nov) and is waiver fodder. Stalock = Murray (neither is someone I want for a starter or even a 1B), plus Stalock is cheaper and MN has to expose either Murray or goalie KK in the expansion draft next year with this trade.

MN has PIT's unprotected 1st next year. Helping them out with their cap should be the last thing they do. The worse PIT is the better it is for MN.</div></div>

Does this really help them tho?
They're losing a 1B in net, Pateryn is a slight upgrade at RD. They are losing a good prospect, another pick and their only servicable LD in the system with Riikola.
The Pens can't spend the extra cap either due to the cut in payroll
