Thread: Strome Mantha and Pacioretty
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>This is wrong. They will happily move prospects for guys with term, that is why Strome is the big attraction here. They won't pay big prices for rentals because it's dumb. Mortgaging the future of the organization for one or two players that may or may not make a difference isn't worth it. But at the deadline in the past, they've shown a willingness to pay big prices for players that they would be in control with. Look at Trocheck and Skjei, guys that they paid through the nose for, but had term. They were willing to go after Meier who was an RFA, Tkachuk and his 8 year extension. They will pay the price for something that's worth it, but the Canes know when to walk away and won't get sucked into a bidding war. They're savvy, not content</div></div>

Yeah thats why I specified a "win now" move. Which is what 2/3 of that deal is. also, if they wanted pacioretty they wouldve re-signed him and not wasted picks/prospects.

On strome, is he really that big of an attraction? Drury has the same points per 60 this season and hes not even on the power play. I'd imagine canes could toss him a better contract than strome's and be better off sticking with him. Out of curiosity, how are you breaking down these values? Like, are you saying strome is drury plus a pick and the rentals are each worth a prospect and a pick?
