Half of a million, not half his salary but you're absolutely right, that whole thing was a mess... sure they made the finals and had a bunch of picks but that was brutal

So basically a 1st, 2 2nds, a 3rd and Suzuki for Pacioretty

McPhee is a dangerous man at trade deadline, Erat for Forsberg was a beauty too

Well no, the price they paid for Tatar is already included in there, can't count it twice

my well edge-a-muh-cated guess is that tatar didn't adapt to gallant's roll 4 lines who will forecheck the (frank) out everyone so he was scratched.

amazing how being scratched in the playoffs kills value

I thought so too, the whole team was really buying into the forecheck or die attitude... all but Drouin!

Brendan Kelly thinks Poehling is a decent third line centre.

Because if you include Tatar the trade is just Tatar, Suzuki and a 2nd for Pacioretty

Right? They gave x, y, z and got Tatar. Then they traded Tatar, a pick and Suzuki for Patch. So they gave away x, y, z to the Wings AND pick, Suzuki and Tatar to the Habs. All they have to show for x, y, z, pick, Suzuki and Tatar, is Patch.
