That's a realistic return for him.

That is a disappointing return if Bergevin makes that deal...the 1st rounder is gonna be 31st overall, Forsling is another winger (of which MTL has a billion) and Edsjell looks like another depth defenceman (already too many in the lineup), hard pass

Forsling is the defenseman and Ejdsell is the winger...

Forsling is a very smooth skater with a high upside. He's played half the season and put up 13 points and he's only 21.

BOOM ROASTED

But seriously, this, as well as it’s a realistic return given the odds of Pacioretty testing free agency when his contract is up are pretty high

My bad...
But I still think MTL should target a young center, it's their greatest need

like Dylan Sikura -> he would do the trick

also -> CHI 's first pick ( and we give back their 2nd round pick)

Sikura and a top 10 pick for one year of Patches??? I'm not too sure about that on the hawks side.

and a 2nd pick.

-> and his rights to sign him back... or a nice return at the trade deadline

Ejdsell is a center btw, not a winger. Just figured I'd put that out there.
Sikura is likely a winger at the NHL level also.
You're not getting Sikura, Forsling, and a top 10 pick for Patches on an expiring contract and a 2nd.
