Habs could use help on their third pairing, Desharnais + a mid round pick or prospect (or Habs retain salary on DD) for Schultz. Schultz could help play PK and limit Markov's minutes on it, Weise played well with DD on the third line last year and maybe could help get him going offensively.

Don't see them trading Schenn and it would cost more than we think... I'm probably off but they will want one of Pacs, Gallagher, etc. We won't get him for McCarron + a pick. I think this is more likely a look at Streit or MDZ or maybe Manning? Lot of D prospects ready to step in soon for Philly and that's a need for the Habs.

Schenn + MDZ ($1m retained) for Pacioretty + Desharnais

Cap hits balance out. Maybe Flyers add a pick?

Streit makes the most sense.

Upcoming UFA
Not a huge cost
Can play either side...lefty playing right in Philly
Organization is familiar with him
He knows what to expect playing in Montreal

Yeah, I can't imagine who could replace him as captain if he left.

And the Habs fans here would be crushed.

How was this guy named captain by his teamates is beyond me. Even the coach disagrees with their choice.

I wish Max an okay birthday. Not too great but not horrible. Preferably somewhere around his level of play this season :sarcasm:

The only good news with pacioretty right now is that there is nowhere to go but up. I dont think I'm even exaggerating when I say there's no hab easier for the opposition to play against right now than pacioretty

You're wrong, I think he can still fall fair a bit further. So far he has managed to stay under the radar due to his points unlike Plekanec. The longer this level of play continues and it's been going on for close to a year now, the more people are going to realize he is an issue. This will only be exasperated once our depth players like Byron start to dry up and it comes down to Plekanec and Pacioretty to score some goals, it will be make or break for both of these players.

The TSN690 guys are on Pacioretty right now wondering what's going on with him. No Marinaro you're not the only one noticing a different body language from Pacioretty this year.

Last season Pacioretty skated around looking like he didn't give a crap at times but this year it's far far worse. Does this guy want out?

Patch plays like a Russian... Loves the open space and don't do well when there is a lot of contact. He always falls back on his elite NHL shot! He's just getting enough open looks.

perfect time to trade him and plekanec to get something back, then give weber the C because he's way more deserving.

Doesn't make sense for the Flyers[or Habs probably too], to do a trade like that...

If Max is involved, it's likely something that was Schenn + that was suggested.

Maybe MdZ or Streit for something.

Ok, you'll have to be clear here..
1-You don't want Max
2-You don't want to trade Simmonds
3-You don't want to trade Simmonds for Max
4-Other

What if the Habs want to give the C to Weber? He will be here 10 years and is a captain, Max is not up to par for some reason..

So, what is it?

The Sharks didn't trade Marleau to take away his C...

It doesn't make sense from either teams standpoint IMO to trade Simmonds for Max Pac.

If it's Max Pac. I fully expect the deal to be Schenn + something for Max.


It's probably something much smaller, like Mdz or Streit or Schultz for picks/what have you.

The discussion has been really decent. Offers back and forth without too much negativity. Actually, quite civilized.

It's just for fun anyways.

That's what this board is for IMO.

Opinions vary and peoples perspective on other players is almost always going to be different.


I'm fine with you guys if you don't think Schenn + is good enough for Max.

Fans can pardon a player who works hard but doesn't get the results, but there's no excuse for someone with talent who doesn't work hard, unless of course you're Kovalev and one of the most talented players in the world.

Pacioretty will end up with 30 goals this season and no one will remember more than 3 of them.
