Pacioretty

thats just terrible team management.... vegas: "we dont want pacioretty anymore, makes too much money." Bruins: "heres a young cost controlled top 6 left winger and our top defensive prospect!" highly unlikely from a bruins perspective but hey crazier things have happened.

I can tell you watch Sportsnet (Steve Dangle)

How is this a bad deal for Boston? Patches is miles better than DeBrusk and Boston is going for it while they have Bergeron / Marchand / Krecji before they start to decline.

how is this a good deal for boston? sacrificing what 10+ years of a player for literally 1 shot at a cup in a 56 game year in a stacked division? krejci is gone next year. marchand still has a lot of game left in him. bergeron not so much. but im not about to trade one of my best young players for a contract another team doesnt want.

Patches has 3 years left on his deal, and I don’t buy that VGK is trying to move him. The hockey world is just desperate for some rumours right now. Adding patches would give them a major boost up front for the next couple of seasons. You say Marchand has a lot of game left but patches somehow doesn’t even though he’s younger? Not to mention Marchand has played a far more physical game than patches with a lot more miles on his body.
