I have no doubts that Boston has the pieces to put a strong offer together for Pacioretty. However, I’m leery that the Canadiens would trade their captain to an archrival, especially since he has another year left on his contract.
That’s our Brian La Rose answering several questions about the availability of Max Pacioretty and his likelihood of being traded to the Boston Bruins. Our last mailbag featured more than one Bruins-centric question, but we’re looking forward to what you have to ask this week. Will Oliver-Ekman Larsson really be moved? What do the Canadiens do after all their injuries? Are the Golden Knights headed for a Stanley Cup appearance?
Brian will be answering the mailbag on Sunday, but be sure to submit your questions now! Leave a comment below or tweet at @prohockeyrumors using the #PHRMailbag.

Do you see the New York Rangers as buyers or sellers at the deadline? If buyers who do they bring in? If sellers who goes?
Paul Heyman
Will the blues trade for mike Hoffman or max pacioretty?
Sean Steib
I second this question.

Since secondary scoring is so vital for a cup run is vegas a real cup threat since they can roll 4 good scoring lines?

Who are the most likely targets the Islanders could swing a trade for to help out on defense or in the net?

Who do you think theflyers will trade (if any) since they’re kinda out. If they don’t move anyone do you believe it’s another wasted season.
Paul Heyman
Elliot or somebody not named giroux

Could Detroit land a prospect like Kale Clague or Michael McLeod in a trade for Mike Green?

With Corey Crawford being out for possibly the year will the Hawks look to acquire a veteran goalie or is this a good time to see what that have going forward with Anton Forsberg.thank you
