<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KoneDome</b></div><div>If you look all the way back to 2007 when they drafted Subban, McDonagh, and Pacioretty its pretty clear why this team couldn't get over the hump. In the last 10 drafts look at all their picks from the first two rounds:
2008:
56th: Danny Kristo (Danny who?)

2009:
18th: Louis Leblanc (I remember watching this live and fans went crazy because he was french, how did that turn out?)

2010:
22nd: Jarred Tinordi (hasn't played in NHL in two years)

2011:
17th: Nathan Beaulieu (another French player, can hardly play in Buffalo)

2012:
3rd: Alex Galchenyuk (7 Defenseman went after Galchenyuk. To mention a couple: Reilly, Trouba, Lindholm, Dumba. Can you imagine one of those guys with Subban?)
33rd: Sebastien Collberg (Sebastien who?)
51st: Dalton Thrower: (no comment needed)

2013:
25th: Michael McCarron (never worked out)
34th: Jacob De la Rose (19 pts in 119 GP)
36th: Zach Fucale (what happened with him?)
55th: Arturi Lehkonen (not a bad pick)

2014:
26th: Nikita Scherbak (kind of TBD, but probably a bad pick)

2015:
26th: Noal Juulsen: (also kind of TBD, but probably another bad pick)

2016:
9th: Sergachev (probably their best pick of all, but we know how this ended)

2017:
25th: Ryan Poehling (TBD)

2018:
3rd: Kotkaneimi: (TBD)


Goes to show, if they had hit on even just one or two of these picks, maybe they would have gotten that Center they always needed for Pacioretty or that D-man to play with Subban. Could have been a lot different.</div></div>

Just to let you know, Beaulieu isn't French. He's a full Anglo Ontario boy.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>If Patches signs an 8 year deal for $7.75/year, he's quickly going to be in the same boat that Lucic currently is. And does Paul Byron really move the needle? Sure, he had 20 goals playing a big role for the Habs, but Edmonton has at least 2-3 centers that are ahead of him on the depth chart.

Again, Patches has value, and I'm sure Byron could get you a bit too, but for a team that missed the playoffs, and clearly had a tonne of issues last season, trading what amounts to 3 first rounders away is a good way to set yourself back for years. Yes, they should probably look at getting rid of Lucic's contract...but this isn't the way.</div></div>

I respect you opinion.
But there's some facts that need to get straighten up.

First Pacioretty and Lucic are two different type of player. Lucic played a physical game, never used speed as an assets, and was most of the time a 20-25 goal scorer, with a 30G year highlight. He was a 50-60pts winger.
Pacioretty is a winger who use his speed to get open in the slot, scores 30-37 goals a year, and produce roughly 65pts a year. Getting him with either Draisaitl or McJesus would sure be something that looks good on paper. Comparing Pacioretty and lucic is just unrealistic. One has speed, the other one doesnt.

Second, byron is a winger, not a center.
He's one of the fastest player in the league, gets a couple break away a game, scroring 20g as you say, with center such as Danault or plekanec.... Now imagine him on the wing of one of your top 2 center, jeez that's gonna be fast.

Its a high price, but Chiarelli already said their pick was available for immediate help.

Pacioretty' worth a prospect and a first.
Getting lucic horrible contract has a price. In the past look at Bickell trade, or Datsyuk salary dump.
Byron is a nice fit at a low price.
And there's a second from Toronto.

What do you think of the other 2 trades. Are they realistic or a buyout would also be less costly?
