BTW GUYS I WANTED TO SCREAM BUT EVERYONE IS SLEEPING HERE... I live with fake fans..

Absolutely one of the best MTL trades in a while. I'm a huge fan of this one!

First good trade by Bergevin????????

Amazing trade

It's not a bad return. Suzuki is going to be a great player. Tatar is an easy 20 goal scorer. But I think they could have gotten a conditional 2nd, perhaps it turns into a 1st if he signs an extension with VGK. But for once I think Bergevin made a good trade😅 BTW I didn't get the notification for this vid so that's why I'm a little late

I think this is a terrific trade for the Vegas Golden Knight. They get a guaranteed goal scorer who is a leader both on and off the ice. They get a terrific hockey player in Pacioretty who just nails down a top 6 spot on Left Wing. They are in WIN NOW mode so now is the time to add a player like Max and keep in mind EK might also be on his way to Vegas as well. The Canadiens get a Mid-2nd Round pick which most likely they will botch under this current GM. They also get Thomas Tatar which Vegas paid a lot for but didn't work out so getting rid of him is very smart. Hire slow fire fast model should be used more in business. BUT where Montreal scores in this trade is landing Nick Suzuki because he is a very good hockey player in all aspects of the game. Terrific shooter and scorer who sees the ice very well and makes plays. Nick is a guy who makes others around him better. Vegas did not want to trade him away but they know that it will take a few years for Nick to fill out and get physically stronger because he is a smaller framed kid. So basically this deal is for Nick of the future for Max of the present. Both teams win here but I think Vegas WINS NOW which is most important. I am personally very happy for Pacioretty to be out of Montreal. HMMM...Don't be surprised if Erik Karlsson ends up in Vegas now.

It’s a equal trade for both parties involved. Pacioretty going to a Cup Contending team in relatively still in the prime of his career & he will finally play with a good center & he will put up 30-35 goals! Montreal get Suzuki who potentially could replace Pacioretty on the wing for the future which Bergevin is going in that direction. Alot of depth in center & wing right now in montreal. Tatar is just someone to move to make room for Pacioretty & I still consider Tatar a great second-third line winger & his experience would give a boost to the undersized players in our team right now to step up more! In all great trade

Bergevin did good with this one. Hopefully Patches will get to hoist the cup with Vegas.

HC, do you think Pacioretty is still in his prime? In his prime he was one of the fastest players in the NHL. Not sure I see that same speed anymore. About to turn 30 years old, history of knee problems, could the reason Montreal didn't want to re-sign him be that they already see him declining and don't want to get stuck with a boat anchor contract? I remember Ryan Kesler used to be really fast, and he got traded to Anaheim around the same age wanting a long-term big money extension. Look at him, and that contract, now. Could this be the same situation? Pacioretty's production went off a cliff last year and he looked slower. A year or two before that, I remember the first half the year, he couldn't score at all, and he looked way slower. Then the last half of that season, he seemed to get his speed back and went on a scoring spree. But that's how it is with declining, injury prone players. Their knees are weaker for half the season at age 27, but they heal up and get back to normal for half the year, but only half, whereas it used to be the full season. Then a year or two later, their knees are weaker and stay weaker... forever... and they're nowhere near as fast, and you have Ryan Kesler (with Kesler it might be the hips, but same result). What do you think? I didn't watch the Habs a TON last year so curious to hear from anyone who has. In fact, in Pacioretty's prime, he played a hell of a lot like William Karlsson does now, as at wing. But I'm not sure Pacioretty still has those wheels. Karlsson is just coming into his, although he did get slowed significantly by an injury in last year's playoffs, and it will be interesting to see if that lingers into next season and affects his speed.

I think you might be underrating Suzuki if you think he is a decent prospect, or “could be” a decent forward. In my mind Suzuki at his peak potential could be a top centre. If his one weak point, skating holds him back, he could still perform very well as a winger. I’d be surprised if he doesn’t become at least a 50 point NHler

I think That Montreal this season will be a mystery. Either they do trash, or they will do good. Who knows for sure

Suzuki is prospect which hit or miss but bigger trade coming.EK and Ryan for Theodore/Haula and picks

About time!!!

Great trade from both perspective!!

I was about to sleep and then my phone started blowing up about this

But MTL won this trade

After going to all 31 arenas will you complete the journey with t-mobile arena?

Crazy trade!!

What has Pacioretty even done in the post-season?

My Coyotes have Galchenyuk, and Vegas has Max! I hope we can see a "Battle of the desert" rivalry!

J'adore le trade

I knew he would be traded But i did not knew he would be traded to the golden knights.

HUGEEEEEEE

So who will be captain? Weber? Gallagher?

That's the way mtl what ever you do don't get a french canadian (maybe you can get one in the draft )

No more golf tournaments to analyze!

Trade came in last because the golden knights just wrapped of their 2 game rookies tourney around 10 pst, and the knights didn’t want to trade him before the game or during the game.

Unreal trade and the habs still have $7mil in cap space. Would love to see Bergevin go after Shea Theodore and possibly Nylander...? You never know with Bergevin :)

First Chucky now Patchy. Gally next? My Oilers hopefully

Don't hide your sexy voice and accent behind stock audio.

Price, Weber, Petry, Shaw and Alzner are Next

MOMENTOUS TRADE FOR MY KNIGHTS!!!!!!

Bergevin blamed the trade on Pacioretty requesting a trade. has to quit being such a coward and explain to fans the need to trade all major assets and start a complete rebuild. Maybe in 5 or 6 years they will have a great team.
