In regards to Pacioretty. It’s not so much Montreal running him out of town as it is capitalizing on his affordable cap hit, 2 remaining playoff runs and long track record of success. At 29 and his FA salary probably going to be in the $7 million range, it’s far better for the team to deal him now as opposed to losing him for nothing or signing him to a big extension.
Damn didn’t get alert about the chat starting.
