He's not, he was captain in VegasThen why do you want a loser like Pacioretty ?

Any thoughts on Erik Johnson as a 7th dman? He's a righty, UFA and should come pretty cheap. Good vet leader and cup champ with Colorado a couple years back

You can say that, but you can also say every bit of depth counts, and Vegas won with their depth last year.
That's the right idea

I don't get why people are seeing Pacioretty as literal trash lol. Yes - get as much depth and talent as possible

They had to come to a decision, pay him or trade him. I guess they weren't sold on him long term.
Seriously, a year ago he was a star player and a good get for Carolina. He hasn't done enough in that time to totally tarnish that rep. He'd provide scoring depth and keep all the bottom six guys on their toes.

Had a similar thought actually. Either him or Edmonson (although he's a lefty). Just extra depth on the back end for the inevitable injuries that happen during the playoffs. I think we're pretty well set up front.

He’s a little bit faster than Marc Staal. But that’s a low bar. He might even be faster than Ek but that’s also a low bar.

Didn't saw him raise that Cup over his head though...
Or the C on his chest in Vegas.
Stop blurring the facts for other posters.
You may like Pacioretty yourself... Fact is, he is a 35-years-old forward with 3 goals this year and multiple Achille's injury the last few seasons, that brings nothing more to our team that Zito didn't already get (and a better version at that)...
And it is well documented that he has some attitude. Yet he was considered a leader in Vegas and Montréal, never won anything in that position though !
So yeah... You like and want Pacioretty, we get it.
He's a loser IMO, and most of all, now pretty redundant on our team and obviously NOT needed. Pretty easy to see.

This is why I prefer that they pass on the guy.

Lol it's a team game, is Patches supposed to win the Cup by himself? I'm not blurring facts, calm down, and check your tone with me also . That's rich too because you have no "facts" that he's a loser. Show me these documentations that he had an attitude problem. He was a good playoff performer in Vegas. And in Montreal he put up very good numbers with little talent around him. The best forwards around him were David Desharnais, Paul Byron, and Brendan Gallagher. He was a leader in Vegas and Montreal as you said.
He has had injury problems but that's why he'd come cheap. He's scored at a .60 ppg clip this season. If he costs like a 4th it does no harm at all to bring him in for scoring depth.

With you on this one bud ! That should be enough for others too... Hehe
Tarasenko just had two big shoulder surgeries, he's 32, and way more productive the last few years... Also proven playoff-performer.
People not understanding that Zito played the two tunes: Tarasenko and Pacioretty, just so he wouldn't lose face if one deal didn't go through. He wanted a top-9 winger, one, not multiple... Got his priority, now Zito could care less where Pacioretty wants to play ! He got his man.
The best one available !

To be more accurate they won on the depth of their starters with no injuries. A lot of playoff success will be due to injury luck. We limped into finals and they were mostly unscathed. Not taking anything away from them, that's just a fact.
i like our team as it is, and we have the appropriate depth in case of injuries. A guy like Pacioretty, doesn't really fit on the bottom lines and is not suited for the top lines. If we want more depth, then I'd rather target actual depth players.

Patches is the definition of depth if your scorers get injured. I'd be more comfortable with that than promoting Luostarinen.

Check my tone ? Stop trying to teach me, when you obviously can't.
I'm not gonna bring every article about Pacioretty, it is well documented. Google is your friend. I already gave you a clue, that you could find some facts and opinions in Pierre Gervais' bio.
If putting Pacioretty on the 4th and scratching Cousins does no harm for you, or to this team locker-room like you think, well... Don't think I have the time to explain it to you. lool
Not questioning his production career-wise... Just saying he's at the end of it, and we obviously don't need him anymore, after finding a way better player and more proven performer...
Speak to me about the potential defensemen... Just if you continue with that non-sense, you're gonna be really disappointed... Billy is banking on stability and team-chemistry, putting Cousins/Lomberg in the pressbox won't do anything good for that.
That's the reason why Pacioretty is a no-no. 100%.
He will probably be a good addition to a contender for a low-price, like you said.

Forsling extension is much better news than Tarasenko. Great, great news for the team.

And limping in the SC is due to how we played, which is how we'll play again this year. Getting a guy who out scored our entire bottom 6 despite only playing 25 games would be great if he's really cheap.

We’re in the place we are at today because of the guys who have performed this season. You need assets to win and be successful for years and we don’t need to blow our entire load on rentals for this one year. We got Tarasenko for a bag of pucks which fills the one need I think our team was looking for. And we only lost Lockwood out of it to waivers.
I’m not very interested in moving roster players or valuable assets for a rental, especially one who doesn’t fill a need and frankly doesn’t seem like a good fit.

Funny how that trade-deadline is unfolding exactly as I've said all along.
Reinhart is already done too, but will be announced after the season.
Zito is OUR God !!!!

I have a feeling its soon. I think Zito was waiting to see what options are out there for trades that aren't UFA next year.

Sure but do you really think a guy like Pacioretty at his age would be ready to suit up in Round 3 game 6 after sitting for a month? And fitting seamlessly into our style? Unlikely.
If one of our top guys got hurt I'd way rather rely on the guy right behind him stepping up than bringing in an old mercenary coming in cold and unfamiliar to our team.
