Thread: Avalanche playoff run
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>bc this is what have you done for me lately league. Teams arent going to pay for a players previous stats and ignore what they did lately. They will hold it against Montreal thats what he did as a 30 year old, the guy is entering the back half of his career so its safe to assume he will have more bad years vs good years left.

Thats just the reality of how GMs negotiate. Patches values is as low as it can be so teams over pay on top of over pay for him. He had 37 points with 1 year left on his contract. Thats what you are trading on paper right now.</div></div>

I don't agree, because wirh this logic, Giroux is worth more than Crosby right now because he outproduced him by 12 points? That would never happened.

I understand the concerned with Pac, but he is still a 30-35 goal scorer for the next few years in my opinion.

If by trade deadline next year, he already has 20-25 goals, does his value go up? Do you do the trade this time?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>NO he isnt, Skinner out performed him last season and he is 4 years younger. Pacioretty isnt going to snag some giant haul when E Kane, Hoffman (for other reasons) and Skinner didnt bring anywhere near what Habs fans are going to assume Pacioretty will bring back. The market for wingers is pretty set and Pacioretty as the oldest, lowest offense production last season of the bunch isnt goign to be magically more costly</div></div>

Why only use last year's stats to determine Pacioretty's value? Over the last 5 years, the has a P/GP of 0.78, compared to 0.63 for Skinner and 0.62 for Kane, that's including last season which was his worst season of his career. To put his value lower than Skinner and Kane is not logic at all. Do you really think Pacioretty is not worth a 1st and A prospect while Nash got 1st, prospect and Ryan Spooner (40 pts player)? Pacio is way better than Nash right now.

I know it's a steep price, but look at the pieces you're receiving. I doubt that would ever happen though. I have to admit that I didn't think Johnson would have that much value for the Avs considering the age, the production and the cap salary, maybe not the best piece to shed some cap space.

I do think Tavares could get between 9-11M$ per season, so 12M$ isn't impossible either. However, thinking that McDavid got 12,5M makes me question that a bit.

For Bailey, last year, both Palat and Tatar signed contrat for 5.3M$ per year. They're similar in age and production so I think it's possible for a team to offer him a 6M$ per year contract (7M is a bit much).

The Weber for Karlsson is a idea I saw somewhere which makes a bit of sense for Ottawa. We know that the owner doesn't want to spend too much on his team, and Karlsson is gonna require at least 10M per season. Shea Wever's cobtract is at it's last year over 10M in salary (not AAV), the next 4 years are at 6M$, then 3M and 1M. So for Ottawa, you get a really good 1D, even though he's getting older and slower, who still plays great hockey for Montreal. For Ottawa, it would be difficult to find a cheaper replacement to Karlsson while keeping the same level of competitiveness.
