Pacioretty will stay.

Bergevin will add, not subtract.
- Dgrdnr

how do you add without subtracting? we've got some good prospects but really no blue chippers. and if you add a guy, you need to consider the cap implications.

Here's a hunch:

We'll get Blake Wheeler or a similar player.

Trading Pacioretty for a guy like Pacioretty is not doing much for this team imho.
- Pecafan Fan

especially if its for a guy that is older and more expensive

Bourque will be on his way out to balance the cap.

Prospects like Collberg, etc. will be in play. Picks too.

sorry

I applied the asp/Campoli conundrum.

You seem pretty confident that Bergevin is trying to make a move.

Well, he'd be an upgrade over Bourque...

That's what I was wondering, if some of the "insiders" are saying something along those lines.
I don't really watch or read the tsn website.

Pierre Lebrun says that Bergevin has been receiving calls regarding Pacioretty. There is no harm in listening.

They played 25 games.

Calm down.
- Pecafan Fan

I'm pretty calm, just can't remember when that ever happened with the habs, if it ever happened.

Things can change pretty fast.

Markov and Subban are doing great, but the team can't seem to score much 5v5, which is worrisome.

apparently healthy and still can't crack the lineup says alot

obviously easier said than done though. who knows if he gets anything done. he doesn't have a ton to offer though in terms of prospects.

Best offensive defence duo in the NHL right now.

Obviously.

Not sure what type of package would be worth moving Pacioretty, though.

Hopefully both Tinordi and Beaulieu will be NHL ready next season.

Having Markov and Subban on the top pairing, then Emelin with Beaulieu, and Tinordi Gorges would be pretty good.
- Pecafan Fan

Me thinks Diaz will stay.

yeah but i imagine that's more GMs kicking the tires, seeing if they can bamboozle MB into giving him away for next to nothing because he wasn't scoring.

...and if he follows through with what he said was his philosophy, it's not going to be for rental players.
