Vegas just signed him, 4 years $28 million
Nice term for Vegas! Not much risk there.

I seriously doubt he will resign in Vegas and will gladly go to UFA and sign with the team that offers the best deal or location he prefers.
A pretty good return for a for a one year rental player, with a good prospect a draft pick and unfortunately a salary dump (Tatar).
Bergevin also confirmed Pacioretty will be signing with Vegas.
It's like the aborted LAK deal, but this time the new team and player were able to agree on the new contract. Terms of the new deal haven't been made public yet.

Bergevin told the media this morning that Pacioretty had requested a trade on multiple occasions last season...

That's a pretty nice return. Still kind of sad how the whole thing went down, but I'm pleasantly surprised they managed to get it done before the start of camp AND to get good value.

3rd and 6th in 20well paciorretty trade wont solve our problem XD
I believe Skinner had a no trade clause though, which was an added a constraint in comparison to Pacioretty. Also, age aside, my biased ass still thinks Pacioretty is a superior player.
-
He'd be an awesome 3C. Sound two-way player who works hard. I think the contract is pretty fair value.
-
Interesting situation.
Without an extension, I would think Pacioretty's value will be higher near the trade deadline than it is now. Do the Habs hold off until then to maximize the return? Hard to imagine. It's tough enough for everyone to keep a player who is unhappy on the team for two thirds of the season, it would be especially awkward when he happens to be your captain.
I'm also super curious to know why he became such a persona non grata so quickly. He was named captain in 2015 with the full backing of the team, the season after Therrien is allegedly overheard calling him the worst captain ever, and the season after that Bergevin apparently wants him gone.

No its just a matther of having team capable of spending up to the real cap onstead of the cap - taxes.. as it stands
Fla effective cap is 49.29m
Mtl is 36.57m
This is not a non-factor
I don't get how it's a non factor in trades. Players signed to inflated contracts by Mtl would be virtually untradeable to low tax markets.
-
And what happens when a player gets traded? Does his salary change?

Mason bought out.

Habs get a servicable NHL'er and a couple of picks to take on a bad contract which will most likely be bought out ,nothing wrong with that deal.
I agree.

They've got a ton of work to do to get that team back though... not sure how much space they'll have left after Trouba, Morrissey, and Hellebuyck. And you've still only got 9 forwards signed...
You know Hellebuyck's gonna get paid... probably $7 mil at least, right? Morrissey you can maybe talk into a bridge contract, but when you look at comparables you've got Gostisbehere or Ristolainen pulling in 5+ years, 5ish million... he's gonna push for that. But he's not arbitration eligible, so. Trouba, on the other hand is also gonna get paid, like Hellebuyck.
I think you're looking at 17-18 million, minimum, for those three players alone. That leaves you with 6 million to sign at least 4 F (maybe 5), and a D.
Trouba is rumoured to be asking $8M I believe.

I hope this is true as I was convinced Bergevin would offer him an obscene amount of money after the Alzner fiasco. Who knows, maybe MB's actually getting smarter. That or JJ chose winning over money.

MTL trades for Flyers 7th round pick... WOMP WOMP!

The only explanation I can think of is that Melnyk insisted A-list prospects not be included in the return for fear he'd have to pay them too much money when they become star players.
