Thread: Pacc to Fla
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Well, these Patches to Florida are almost exclusively proposed by Montreal fans. And they really believe they would get such a return for Patches...and now Petry. So the converted and trying to wish a trade on Florida.
Florida isn't that much different than Montreal. If Montreal had the 13th pick and a potential star centre (Borgstrom) would they trade him for one year rental and meh Dman. Of course not, but somehow Florida are suckers for a similar trade. Sorry Habs fan, never going to happen.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>lavsim96</b></div><div>Well let me refresh your memory with Stepan and Raanta going for a 7th and a decent young in Deangelo...Lucic going to LA for two first rounders in the first half...look at what DET got for Tatar,i mean yeah he is not a rental but still, i would have honestly taken that offer for Pacc. And then Rick Nash had very good return for NYR.
I'd be interest to know what you expect the habs get for Patches kind sir, for me getting Börgstrom back is not a rip off or anything, let's remember that Börgstrom has not yet proved anything in this league and was a late first rounder who could have been picked the year earlier but that everybody passed on...</div></div>

Been on this site a while and Palhal and me have had this arguement what seems like 500 times lol funny to see other people making the case.

My simple case for this trade is for Florida to make an actual push. Been years and years of losing and this year they came close, so I’m theory it would make sense for them to use non roster assets to add to this team. By trading Borgstrom and a pick for Pacioretty your showing your team and fans that you want to make the playoffs. They are already deep down the middle and won’t use Borgstrom in their top two center roles anytime soon, trading away a prospect that hasn’t played a game for a player that would walk into that team and be their best goal scorer would be a fair deal. Pacioretty puts up 60 points a year, put him with Barkov and he could do better, add him to Florida’s roster right now and you have a playoff team.
