tsn.ca reporting that Pacioretty is on the block in Vegas.  3 years at $7m AAV left, $17.5m left in real dollars. 

I don't know what the market bears for this sort of player given Hoffman is still out there for free.

The Blue Jackets should probably jump on this.

They won't have the room once they get Dubois signed. Nashville was the team that seemed like a great fit for him to me.

Ah, they'd LTIR Dubinsky. Still, let him stay in the West.

I can't tell if serious or not. I don't know why any team would take that deal unless it has a return reflective of a full on cap dump/buyout.

My Nashville suggestion was certainly under the assumption that any return for Pacioretty would be in the Schmidt-territory. He definitely won't bring back anything close to what he's actually worth.

Signing Hoffman doesn't come with the opportunity to send salary out, as well. So, any team that thinks they can add Patches for less of an increase in cap/salary than the value of the contract they think Hoffman will sign for could be interested.

Actually, I kind of take that back a bit. I checked his stats last year, they were way better than I'd thought.

Yeah, maybe there is some value there, but likely not as full freight as you mention.

Oh yeah Pacioretty is definitely a good player, albeit an aging one. It's just that any player with a significant cap hit is going to have his value tanked right now.

If they can send Nyquist the other way, it might be worth it them. Vegas would probably prefer an expiring contract, though, so it might have to be Dubinsky - which would be a much bigger gain for the Knights (in terms of cap space, at least, which is really what they need right now - so Columbus shouldn't be adding much on top of that) or Foligno if Vegas wants an NHL player and the Jackets are willing to move their captain.

If they want to be super generous, they should offer a straight up swap of Pacioretty for Riley Nash.

This one is fairly recent, featuring Brian Daccord getting an upgrade with the Coyotes as their Director of Goaltending after serving as the first full-time goalie scout under Lou/Leafs.

Yeah, that seems like another example of a relatively forward team on the matter. I'm not sure it really tells us common practice.

Seravalli is basically child aged though

I wanted to make a joke about how a man clearly in his mid-40s like Seravalli should know better but couldn't fit it in.
Seravalli is 32.
I think that may be the joke [emoji16]
Well his delivery sucked lol.[emoji16]
 
I was thinking the other day about the vaccine passports, and hey, why not open up free seating for the home games upon provision of the passport?

It would be neat to see the coverings come off the lower bowl and then upper areas as the inoculations progressed. Also, I imagine a good percentage of those given the shots are front line health care who definitely deserve a free leaf game.

I suppose even with the vaccine, there's some epidemiological reason why it isn't a good idea, but barring that, it seems fun.

Why would they offer up free games, especially after all the revenue lost already?

If you opened up concessions you could start generating some stadium revenue even with free tickets.
