Value of: Is Max Pacioretty on his way out?

Just fire the ****ing coach. The entire team at most times this year looks mentally checked out. Our whole second line looks checked out & like they've tuned out the coaching staff.

If we lose the next two games scoring 1 or less, Therrien will be gone with Gallant on the market.

If that's all it takes to get T fired, I'm all in.

You think a coach will be fired while his team leads their division? I know GMs like Lou have done it in the past but MB has stuck with MT through a lot worse than that...

 

[Moorpheus*]

Would love him on to. He looks like Ovie compared to Hyman the ahl plug playing with mats and Willie

Pacioretty <-> Marchessault (LW)/Bjugstad (C) + Matheson (LD & Draft Exempt) + 1st '18

 

[Runner77]

Best fit would be one of the NY area teams making a pitch for him -- Pacioretty didn't lose the ability to score 30 plus, he just seems unable to function in the Habs' environment. A trade to his home state could be the perfect antidote.

 

[RocknRoland]

Get him somewhere where there is no attention and he will be fine. He hasn't been the same player since named captain.

true

 

[VanIslander]

Fourth in team assist, 3rd in goals... pull the rip cord.... pull!

Pacioretty <-> Marchessault (LW)/Bjugstad (C) + Matheson (LD & Draft Exempt) + 1st '18

I like Bjugstad and Matheson. The first in 2018 seals it. I'd consider this if we're moving Pacioretty.

Down the center, we'd have;

Gachenyuk
Bjugstad
McCarron (soon)
Danault

Only thing, we would be rather weak on the LW. Another trade would need to get done soon after.

Patches for Brock Nelson and Anders Lee.

Habs get a 2C and a 15-20 goal LW, and Isles get a top LW that could hit 40 playing with Tavares.

That's a good deal. Done.

Love this as a Habs fan

The coach is a major issue, for sure.............Muller is in the wings...

I honestly only think that the only way MT goes is if Pricer says he's had enough with him. And Price is far too humble to say that.

I'm thinking a lot more about Gallant.

If we were running Gallant-Muller, my god.

What would Colorado give up for Pacioretty? "Leadership" shakeup?

 

[Avs44]

What would Colorado give up for Pacioretty? "Leadership" shakeup?

Nothing. The team is in dead last, their only top pairing defensman is out with a broken leg, their captain had been out for weeks and we have no idea for how much longer. There is no "shakeup" to be made, the season is essentially done. The focus has to be on the future.

 

[CapSpace]

Pacioretty <-> Marchessault (LW)/Bjugstad (C) + Matheson (LD & Draft Exempt) + 1st '18

That'd be a steal from us. I'd do it without thinking.

 

[Goulet17]

What would Colorado give up for Pacioretty? "Leadership" shakeup?

Colorado is not likely to be a good trading partner for Montreal if they are looking to trade Pacioretty. I seriously doubt they would trade a younger player from their core for Pacioretty, it would make little to no sense for a rebuilding team.

 

[The Great Weal]

If we lose the next two games scoring 1 or less, Therrien will be gone with Gallant on the market.

No he won't. There will be a trade before the coach is fired.

 

[Magic Stick]

Panarin or Simmonds for Pacioretty straight up. Mark my words folks.

Neither the Flyers or Chicago would be interested in this, and it does nothing to help the Habs fill the 2C spot, though obviously both Panarin and Simmonds are outproducing Patches.
