Couldn't get lower pressure then the Isles, we have a single reporter that doesn't ask any hard questions and a GM and coach that give the players hot cocoa and tell them that they did a good job after every loss.

Why would the Habs sell low though? A 28 year old multiple 30 goal scorer on a sweetheart of a deal for another 2 seasons after this one.
Like Friedman said it would have to take a lot for the Habs to consider trading Pacioretty.

"Wanna go, Prettyboy?"
The 2006 Carolina Hurricanes.
I was in town for the series working and went to a sports bar with some colleagues after game 2, which the Canes won big, 4 or 5 nothing I believe.
We were at a table having a bite and a few drinks and some people at the next table commented on our accents and asked where we were from. When we said Canada, they asked what we were doing in town and we said we were covering the Hurricanes and the Stanley Cup Final. There were multiple people at the table that didn't have the faintest idea what we were talking about. In a sports bar. In the city where the team in the Final just played less then ten minutes from the bar. We were stunned and said the game must have just been on here and a girl said it was one a few of the televisions, but not with the sound up.
It was incredible. As the series wore on it was clear that while there were very good Hurricanes fans, there certainly weren't that many of them and most of the people that gave a damn about the team being in the Stanley Cup Final were inside the arena.

"that chick from Ohio"
I honestly don't see them moving him unless they're getting a comparable player back, and who's going to do that kind of move? I don't know of any other wingers of similar age, contract status, and poor start status out there looking for a change of scenery, so... 
At least this one isn't getting seized upon as some kind of "insider rumor" like the Saad speculation. Small favors.

Let's Go Islanders!
Would personally offer Strome+CDH as a base for Patches on NYI side, picks notwithstanding.

That's not enough. Switch Strome with Nelson
Maybe something around:
Nelson,CDH,Lee for Pacioretty,Beaulieu+

Edmonton for Pouliot?

Nino and Coyle for Pacio and 2nd pick
Not a chance Minnesota does that.

Except he's not our top goal scorer he's actually 6th in goals behind guys like Byron and Mitchell

Maybe this small 20game sample, but the past 5 years its not even close. 5th in goals in the NHL last 5 years. I'll bet you he has more goals than both combined by years end

I wouldn't even consider it unless it was a great plus. If you want a top 6 F, we don't have much to offer. Our top 6 now includes Marleau and Thornton, both of whom you've ruled out. Then Pavs, Couture, Donskoi, and Ward. You probably don't want Donskoi or Ward for Patches and we can't afford to trade Couture or Hertl (either 1 LW or 3 C when he's healthy) without a potential 1C coming back. That leaves Pavs and, as you say, we probably aren't trading our captain. We definitely aren't trading him when we think we have a chance at the Cup bc of how well he works with Thornton and Burns. It would be nice to have Patches but we probably don't have the assets.

If you want to know what kind of return I'd want as a Habs fan. Draisatl for Paccioretty one for one.
Fowler & Rackell ! Let's get it done
I'm willing to add since both ANA players are playing extremely well at the moment.
Rakell is outplaying him in nearly half as many games. Also just signed. No chance the Ducks even consider that.
Nino and Coyle for Pacio and 2nd pick
Don't think the Wild brass would trade Coyle for Patches straight up.
