I havent look into it and it as probably been mentionned here, when is the last time a player like Pacioretty(goals, contract,age,etc) as been available at the deadline?
Not a deadline deal but in the summer of 2013, Bobby Ryan was coming off of 4 straight seasons of 30+ goals, and a more disappointing one in the lockout year.
2008-09 - 64gp - 31 g - 26 a - 57 pts (21 yo)
2009-10 - 81gp - 35 g - 29 a - 64 pts (22 yo)
2010-11 - 82gp - 34 g - 37 a - 71 pts (23 yo)
2011-12 - 82gp - 31g - 26a - 57 pts (24 yo)
2012-13 - 46gp - 11g - 19a - 30 pts *lockout year* (25 yo)
A situation eerily similar to Pacioretty who's not going to hit 30g this season. Ryan was traded for Silfverberg, 1st in 2014, Stefan Noesen.
EDIT:
Earlier in the thread I compared the Ryan-Silfverberg trade to the Iginla-Nieuwendyk trade but it turns out they're completely different. Bobby Ryan is actually the type of trade I don't want the habs to do. I can understand what the ducks were trying to accomplish though because they were still a good team and wanted to compete right now. Silfverberg was a player who could help right now. But the moral of the story is that they traded a guy who was consistently hitting 35 goals and 57-70 pts for a guy who is more of a 20g-45pts type player, and Silfverberg wasn't even a 20g-40 pts guy yet at the time of that trade.
In the previous thread that's what I meant. If we insist on getting a player with NHL experience this is the type of player we're going to get.
