Proposal: 3 way trade (LA-MTL-FLA)

I don't think Pacioretty would have been named to Team Canada.

earth

I don't think Pacioretty would have been named to Team Canada.

he would be one of the only pure wingers. Hes got size and can score. So yeah def makes it for Canada. He started the WC on the top line of USA. His play in the tourny is irrelevant to whether he would have gotten picked or not.

 

[Legend123]

On what planet does Bgustad get u Carter or Pacs??
30 to 40 goal scorers on such a cheap contract are really hard to come by in today's NHL. And you think Bgusjtad can commend a proven goal scorer?? Really? At this point hes just a third liner. But I guess LA would be dumb enough to flip a proven 2nd line C for a third line C with mediocre production.

I like Bjugstad...as a 3rd line center. Not at the cost of a highly versatile Carter (literally plays any position and any situation, and quite good at every aspect).

Bahahaha Pacioretty would never make team canada. Not in a million years

Terrific insight. Thanks

tbh, any trade involving pacs or carter would have to include Huberdeau not Bjugstad.

Did you miss Matheson? Not saying that'd get a deal done, but it wasn't just Bjugs. However as a fan, I wouldn't be happy to give both guys for either of those two wingers. Matheson has shown a lot of promise and Bjugstad is still young. And on a great contract. I think he'll have a strong year.

No, it doesn't. Wouldn't make sense to make such a deal, imo. There's not that huge a jump in points.

Pretty hard to make team Canada when your American.

Guys its simple, Pacioretty isnt going anywhere for the next 3 seasons because of his contract.

Hes a cost efficient player who'll score 35 goals every season, no way MB is moving him.. we're in the salary cap era.

Even if I proposed it, you're totally right! Still, I'd say Carter at 5,2M for a longer time would be wise for cap management. Pacioretty is going to ask 8M at the end of his current contract.

Even if I created the thread, I like Pacioretty and still happy to have him on board.

It actually makes perfect sense for Florida and absolutely no sense for Montreal and LA. All three teams, including ur cats, wanna win, they are in win now and acquiring either of those players would give the cats a huge boost. Premiere scoring forwards like pacs dont grow on tress and extremely efficient players like Carter on great contracts are almost impossible to find in today's NHL cap.

Hmmm I agree with this but it doesn't explain why Pacs is better than Carts.

They could still be in a win now mode by keeping Bjugstad and Matheson. And simultaneously keeping an eye on the future.

I dont think hes better. Both are equally good at what they are. A C and LW.

I mean sure, the panthers are loaded with talent, but at the same time they have to sign those players. Pacs and Carter provide great value for their contracts. The cats will have the same situation as the bolts. The cap will force their hands.

 

[Vatican Roulette]

Panthers would be stupid to trade Bjugstad.

Becoming the new Hanzel.

u wouldnt trade him for either of those two players

Did I say I wouldn't?

Then again, I don't think Florida needs either.

 

[Vatican Roulette]

If anything, Montreal should ask about Huberdeau for Pacioretty.

I guess you missed the post I'm replying to

 

[junyab]

While I agree that Pacioretty is «slightly» better than Carter, Radulov (I'm confident he puts similar numbers to Pacioretty aka 30-30) can take his spot and we get a massive help at C, a more important position than wing.

Also, young wingers are ready (some more than others, like Andrighetto).

In that case, I'd trade Desharnais to Philly for Nick Schultz (which was well received by most of both fanbases).


Radulov-Galchenyuk-Andrighetto
Hudon/Lekhonen-Carter-Gallagher
Carr-Plekanec-Shaw
Danault-Mitchell-whoever takes a spot.

Radulov hasn't played a single game in a Habs sweater and we're trading a captain, leading scorer, and cap friendly winger for a 3 years passed his prime 2C?!?!?

No thanks.

Ya, you pretty much did. Implying Florida shouldn't trade Bjugstad in a trade thread where he goes to another team for Pacioretty.

Sign who? The only notable free agents we have coming up are Jagr, Petrovic and Pysyk. We just gave out numerous 5-8 year deals to lock up the core and we have the 3rd most cap room ($10 million) and possibly more if/when we send Kindl and Berra to the AHL.

If Carter can be had for picks and prospects than I'd love to have him but it'd probably start with roster players I'm not willing to give up. Who do you suppose we trade to acquire Patches or Carter?
