I love the Pacioretty trade for RNH. Both sides could benefit short term and long term. However, I don't like the other deals. No way would MTL trade away Jordie Benn for only a 3rd rounder; He's been solid this season and is worth at least a second round pick.
Marc Bergevin still places high value on Alex Galchenyuk and would never trade him for Faksa. He'd need a 1st round pick at least. He could be a 25-30G scorer again in the right situation.
Finally, I don't like the possibility of trading for Plakanic. Pittsburgh feels they're still a Cup contender and definitely needs to improve 5 on 5. But, Plakenic isn't enough and the price you're suggesting is quite high for a rental w/ minimal offensive upside. They're going to be targeting guys w/ more offensive upside like Evander Kane and Max Paciooretty, or possibly Thomas Vanek or Tyler Bozak.
