Trade with MTL - thoughts

Habs pass

I’m lost in how you think the Habs would even consider that trade.

Not sure why the Panthers would do this, overpaying for Patches and a salary dump in Alzner which they don’t need with the signing of Bogdan.

You act like Patches wouldn’t be the best scorer that teams seen in the past 10 years (check the resume). He is instantly their best winger, best goal scorer and could play on the top unit of their PK and PP.

For a winger/Center that barely gets 50 points a year? Or the two no name prospects ? and 5th round pick?

Ow but let’s not forget that we’re also sending Alzner, a second round pick and a 3rd round pick. Im not even an Alzner fan I can still tell you that he is an NHL defenceman, not an elite one but would still play every game in Florida.

This trade is insanely one sided. You don’t trade an elite left winger, one of the NHLs best left wingers for three players that will never eclipse 60 points, possibly combined.

For 1 yr of Patches? I don’t care if he scores 50 goals still not worth one year of his services now if we have a cap friendly extension in place then yes it becomes worth it. Again you can keep Alzner and his big cap hit. We don’t need nor want it.
