Speculation: Pacioretty and TBL

[bert]

Because Kucherov isn't signed and they seem to have a hard time signing him, considering their capspace.



No, it doesn't. Montreal cannot even take Callahan straight up for Pacioretty. No caproom, let alone Drouin and his bonuses. And Tampa retaining... doesn't even make a lick of sense, considering the whole idea of this is to sign Kucherov.



If by "adding some", you mean "adding a paid asset", then yeah.

From a value stand point though the trades I suggested do. Kucherov is a legit star player in this league. He has more value than Pacioretty.

The money is the only reason that Tampa would consider moving him.

I agree that the cap space for both teams and the fact they are divisional rivals is a large hinderance on a trade between these two organizations.

Its too bad that montreal cant take Callahan or Filpullas cap hit because I think thats a good deal for them. Tampa isnt making that deal unless they have to, to sign Kucherov.
