Proposal: Pacioretty for Gaudreau

[Frank Drebin]

Pacioretty plus what? Seriously what else would Calgary want? I'd be willing to part with one other major piece outside of a few untouchables.

 

[GoJetsGo55]

And the Habs continue finishing ahead of the flames in the standings, even without their best player, Price.

That's like 2 midgets arguing about who's taller

 

[Legend123]

I also think something like that would have to be the add.

Not looking at needs from either team but strictly value, out of curiosity what do Flames fans think of that?

Pacioretty + Sergachev for Gaudreau

we're not moving Sergechev.

 

[Johnnybegood13]

Would this be doable?
Gaudreau is rumored to want to be closer to home.

Again, there is no rumor and no it's not doable.

There is a rumor, unfortunately it just came from hfboards

There has been speculation. That's it.

 

[East Coast Icestyle]

we're not moving Sergechev.

We aren't moving Gaudreau. Case closed.

 

[JayKing]

Therrien would make a waste of Gaudreau's talents

 

[Bouboumaster]

I'd be fine with that, if it wasn't for the fact that we have so many small players.
We'd have to move one of them.

So, how about this:

Pacioretty + David Desharnais for Johnny Hockey?

Do you have any source? If he didnt want to play in Calgary he would have never signed his ELC. He could have justin schultz'ed his way onto any team.

here is an actual source http://www.calgarysun.com/2016/09/08/gap-between-johnny-gaudreau-camp-and-flames-in-contract-negotiations-as-high-as-15-million that isnt really all that far apart, and it would make sense that JG would want to wait until after his performance at the WC to settle on a final dollar figure. I think this will become a more frequent situation with RFA's in the future.

The overrating of Gaudreau in this thread is kinda funny.

If Gaudreau is indeed angling to get out of Calgary by taking an absurd hardline stance on an 8x8 contract, then Calgary would be stupid not to take this deal and hand the problem off to Montreal.

What overrating? Gaudreau is simply worth a lot more than a 27 year old three years from being a UFA that has never approached Gaudreau's numbers.

It's not even close.

When has Gaudreau ever scored 39 goals in a season.

 

[Legend123]

When has Gaudreau ever scored 39 goals in a season.

He just started his career

 

[Wandering Maroon]

I might do something like Gaudreau and Brouwer for Pacioretty and Galchenyuk in the hypothetical event that Gaudreau refused to sign with Calgary.

I wouldn't even do Gaudreau and his $8 million per year contract expectations for a proven 35+ goal scorer that makes 4 million. How about Pacioretty & Galchenyuk for Gaudreau & Monahan.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

Sergachyev, Pacioretty, Galchenyuk for Gaudreau, Brouwer

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Gaudreau is rumored to want to be closer to home.

So in which way is Montreal any closer to Philly and Jersey, Pretty sure he would rather play for the Flyers or Devils then in Montreal.

 

[Galchenioretty]

Flames don't do it for sure but God is Pacioretty underrated, especially given he's locked up for 3 more full seasons at a 4.5 cap hit. He's a massive asset.

 

[WeeBey]

Funny how every high end, highly coveted player apparently wants to play closer to home.

 

[Galchenioretty]

So in which way is Montreal any closer to Philly and Jersey, Pretty sure he would rather play for the Flyers or Devils then in Montreal.

So he'll eventually want to play in Montreal? Yay.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Seriously doubt that the Flames do this deal, Personally i would rather have Gaudreau then Patches.

 

[Finnish your Czech]

When has Gaudreau ever scored 39 goals in a season.

When has Pacioretty ever scored 78 points in a season.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Pass. I'd rather keep Gaudreau.

I would to, If would take far more then Patches to get Gaudreau out of Calgary any ways this is a pretty lame deal for Calgary.

 

[Finnish your Czech]

I think Sergachev + DD needs to be added to this because I don't think just a 1st does it

Absurd. Just cause the Canadiens were dumb enough to pull off the Subban-Weber deal doesn't mean the Flames are equally dumb enough do something similar in a Gaudreau for Pacioretty swap.

Pacioretty is a solid player but Gaudreau is better, younger and worth way more. And most importantly, by the time the Flames' cup window is properly open, Pacioretty's in his final year and looking for a raise, or in decline. Either way, Calgary loses.

 

[Captain Timo]

Try Pacioretty + Sergachev and even in thst case, you're still likely adding.
