Who Won the Trade?
This deal has clearly evolved over time, taking the type of path you might expect from an established-veteran-for-young-prospect blockbuster.
With the Canadiens’ Cinderella Cup run a distant memory thanks to some major 2021-22 struggles, Suzuki’s performance dipped accordingly and he has yet to develop into a point-per-game player.

That’s not to say that the deal can be declared a full win for Vegas, either. The ebbs and flows in the performance of the two men, as well as their team, speak to the complexities of trade evaluation and how fascinating this one has been, in particular. We might just have to do this again down the line!
What do you think? Who has come out on top of this trade? Let me know in the comments below!
Max Pacioretty
In their lone signing of the day in unrestricted free agency, the Capitals signed left wing Max Pacioretty to a one year deal that carries a $2M cap hit. The structure of the deal also includes $2M in performance bonuses based off of games played. If Pacioretty plays in 20 or more games this season, he’ll get the full $2M performance bonus. That bonus will apply to the Capitals’ salary cap in the 2024-25 season.
Pacioretty is coming off a complete tear of his Achilles (for the second time on the same ankle), and will likely not be available at the start of the season. Pacioretty only played in five games for the Carolina Hurricanes last season, but scored 3 goals in that time frame. In his career, Pacioretty has scored 326 goals and 319 assists for 645 points in 855 career games. Pacioretty will turn 35 in November this year.
Although Pacioretty is on the older side, and most fans might be confused about signing another veteran on the back nine of his career, his performance is still very good when he’s healthy.
Let’s take a look at his underlying possession metrics from the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons (since he only played in five games last season):
Like I mentioned, Pacioretty had only played in five games before re-tearing his Achilles tendon, but he was utterly dominant in those five contests. His possession metrics may be a bit inflated because of Carolina’s puck possession strategy around quantity over quality of shot attempts, but they also controlled all of the goals scored when Pacioretty was on the ice.
Even looking back to his 2021-22 season with the Vegas Golden Knights, Pacioretty posted really strong performances in possession metrics across the board. If Pacioretty can stay healthy, the Capitals just signed a bonafide goal scorer for their second line, and a left handed goal scorer for the power play.
Here’s Pacioretty’s scoring chance generation metrics for the past two seasons:
Again, these are really solid performances. Outside of allowing a bit more high danger chances (HDCF%) against in Vegas during the 2021-22 season, everything is on the right side of 50% here.
Here’s Pacioretty’s RAPM chart from last season:
This is a bit off since Pacioretty played so few minutes last season, but one of the key takeaways here is that his xGA/60 is trending a bit higher than his expected goals for per sixty (xGF/60). Pacioretty is actually rather effective defensively, and we can see that in a bit.
Here’s Pacioretty’s RAPM chart from the 2021-22 season:
We see the opposite relationship between xGF/60 and xGA/60 from last season, but we also see a player that was really effective in generating Corsi shot attempts for (CF/60), and ended up being close to one standard deviation above league average in xGF/60. Pacioretty, even in his mid-30s, is still an effective player.
Here’s Pacioretty’s isolated impact chart from last season:
The Hurricanes were considerably better when Pacioretty was on the ice in both offensive and defensive situations during even-strength, particularly offensively. The 12% increase in xGF/60 might be a bit inflated because of the low sample size of game action last season, but there’s still something there worth watching for next season with the Capitals.
Here’s his isolated impact chart from the 2021-22 season:
In all, we can look at his small sample size from last season and compare it to the 2021-22 season where he played 39 games and say that we’re seeing a trend of positive impacts at both ends of the ice during even-strength situations.
Bringing a 14% increase in xGF/60 in isolated impact is considerable, and if the Capitals can get that level of performance and production next season, the Caps should be in a good spot to contend for the playoffs.
Joel Edmundson
The Capitals’ first move of the day was acquiring left-handed defenseman Joel Edmundson from the Montreal Canadiens. The Capitals acquired Edmundson (with 50% of his salary retained) for Minnesota’s 2024 3rd round pick (acquired in the Marcus Johansson trade) and the Capitals’ 2024 7th round pick. Edmundson’s cap hit for the last year of his contract is $1.75M.
In my opinion, it’s more than likely that the Capitals wanted to add a bit more physicality to the defensive corps, and Edmundson can bring that physicality. Edmundson is 6-foot-five-inches and weighs 221 pounds, so he can bring that net front presence that the Capitals were sorely missing last season.
On top of that, Edmundson was 68th in the NHL among defensemen in hits (112) and 24th in the NHL among defensemen in blocked shots. I’d expect Edmundson to slot into the third pairing alongside Trevor van Riemsdyk.
Let’s take a look at his underlying possession metrics from last season with the Habs:
When we take these statistics at face value, they are definitely pretty woeful numbers for Edmundson. It’s paints the picture of a player that struggles at both ends of the ice and can’t keep the puck out of his own net.
Let’s rip the band-aid off and look at his five-on-five chance generation metric performance from last season:
This compounds the struggles that Edmundson faced in Montreal last season. There’s not a lot of good to talk about here, so instead, let’s look at the context around Edmundson’s performance last season.
Edmundson was playing a larger role on the blue line for the rebuilding Habs, and the Habs did not put forth a successful season last year. First, let’s take a look at Edmundson’s Regularized Adjusted Plus Minus (RAPM) chart, which compares the performance of key metrics posted by a player to the league average:
Again, these show what we’ve seen in the raw percentage based metric performance above. We know Edmundson wasn’t setting the world on fire in Montreal. But, I wanted to show you Edmundson’s RAPM chart before I showed you Montreal’s team RAPM chart, which may clear up a bit of concern around the acquisition:
Montreal was really bad last season. As a more defensive focused defenseman, Edmundson can only do so much when the rest of the roster around him struggles in pretty much every situation on ice. To add a bit of clarity around the player we know Edmundson can be, here’s his RAPM chart from the 2020-21 season, where he had some success:
If the Capitals can get a bit more of the 2020-21 season iteration of Edmundson, the Caps could do a lot worse for a third pairing defenseman. To note, the 2020-21 iteration of the Montreal Canadiens ended up making it to the Stanley Cup Final, and Edmundson played a large role in their Cinderella story. He averaged 20:03 in time on ice per game that season, so he was firmly in their top defensive pairings.
To show his on-ice impact, let’s take a look at his isolated impact chart from HockeyViz for last season:
Again, at face value, these don’t really look too good. On the other hand, though, Edmundson routinely played against opponents’ top talent and didn’t necessarily have the supporting talent around him to help him be successful.
I want to show what Edmundson can do when he’s in a position to succeed, so here’s his isolated impact chart from the 2020-21 season:
Edmundson definitely wasn’t setting the world on fire, offensively, but his deployments resulted in 5% fewer expected goals against per sixty minutes (xGA/60), which is pretty much what you want from a defensively focused defenseman. In a smaller role on the third pairing, Edmundson should be able to return to something a bit closer to his 2020-21 self.
Who is William Karlsson dating?
contestant Emily Ferguson
LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — Golden Knights forward William Karlsson proposed to his girlfriend, former “Bachelor” contestant Emily Ferguson, last week in Las Vegas. The couple shared their engagement on Instagram on Dec. 13, though the couple said they made things official on Dec. 11.
What is the relationship of the Wife of Bath to religion?
In her prologue, Chaucer’s Wife defends marriage against religious teachings that claim that it is inferior to celibacy, maintaining the association of marriage with sex but embracing a more modern perspective that sexual pleasure is a virtue and rejecting the idea that wives should always obey their husbands.
Why did the Wife of Bath love her fifth husband the most?
Of her fifth husband, she has much more to say. She loved him, even though he treated her horribly and beat her. This husband was also different from the other four because she married him for love, not money. He was a poor ex-student who boarded with the Wife’s friend and confidante.
What does the wife of Bath represent?
The Wife of Bath represented a semi-independent woman of that time period in the sense of her career, wealth, and relations. She worked as a seamstress, which seems fitting as she came from the town of Bath.
Overall takeaways from the acquisitions
I’m cautiously optimistic about Joel Edmundson, considering it’s a rather low risk acquisition for a player that you hope can bounce back with a better team around him. With only a year left on his deal, and with 50% of his salary retained, you’re probably getting a more cost effective player for the third pairing (with a solid amount of NHL game experience) than you would in trying to sign a player in free agency. For the mere cost of a third round pick and a seventh round pick, it’s worth a gamble. Worst case scenario, he doesn’t perform well and Alexander Alexeyev gets playing time instead.
For Pacioretty, I’m pretty excited about the idea of him playing in a Capitals uniform. Yes, he’s 35. He’s a bit older than what I ideally would have liked the Capitals to go out and get for a long term top six option. On the other hand, though, Pacioretty performs really well when he’s healthy (and that’s a big caveat for him). Absolute worst case scenario for Pacioretty is he can’t stay healthy and the Caps put him on the long term injury list. The other possibility is if the Capitals are again outside the playoffs come the trade deadline and could recoup some assets in a Pacioretty trade to a contender if he’s performing well and is healthy.

The contract
The Capitals sign Max Pacioretty to a one-year contract worth $2 million, plus $2 million in performance-based incentives.
Mark Lazerus: Max Pacioretty’s value was evident in his absence from Carolina during the Eastern Conference final. The Hurricanes were desperate for finishers, and Pacioretty finishes. But can he finish a season?

Ruptured Achilles tendons aren’t soft-issue injuries, so it’s hard to call Pacioretty injury-prone or blame him at all for rupturing his right Achilles in two straight seasons. But it’s hard to ignore it, too. Hence the short-term and low AAV for a six-time 30-goal scorer.
With a $2 million salary and $2 million in potential performance bonuses, Pacioretty can still cash in on this deal, but it’s a relatively low-risk, very high-reward deal for Washington, which remains in an odd stasis between desperately needing to rebuild and desperately wanting to stay at least competitive while Alex Ovechkin chases Wayne Gretzky’s goal record. And for Pacioretty, it’s a chance to prove he’s still an elite goal scorer, setting himself up for one last big payday next summer.
Pacioretty is still good. He can still score. When he returned to action in January last season, he had three goals in his first three games. But he only lasted five games before the second Achilles tear. There’s no reason to think he can’t be very productive in Washington. But there’s plenty of reason to wonder if he’ll get the chance.
Contract grade: A-Fit grade: B-
Eric Duhatschek: So here’s the thing about the Washington Capitals that not everybody realizes or understands. Alex Ovechkin scored 42 goals for them last year. After that, it was Dylan Strome with 23 goals, and no one else contributed more than 20. Part of that was because of the injuries that limited the number of games Tom Wilson, T.J. Oshie and Nicklas Backstrom played. Still, the Caps needed help scoring goals, even though they have arguably the greatest goal scorer of all time in their lineup. That’s where Max Pacioretty comes in.
It’s a risk, for sure; he’s a 34-year-old who tore his Achilles tendon training in the summer and then tore it again shortly after returning to the Carolina lineup after Christmas. Pacioretty had three goals in the five games he played for the Hurricanes. But when healthy, he can score goals — and will score goals if he makes a full recovery. As for the cost, one year at $2 million, it’s a completely defensible gamble for a veteran team that added one more experienced hand up front.

What Vegas Was Thinking
The Golden Knights were fresh off a Stanley Cup Final defeat when they decided to trade for Pacioretty, the former Habs captain who seemed to be on the outs with his only NHL home to that point. In Pacioretty, they were acquiring a proven goalscorer boasting five 30+ goal seasons in Montreal. Even after expansion breakout campaigns from the likes of William Karlsson and Jonathan Marchessault, the Golden Knights still coveted established top-line talent.
Max Pacioretty, former Vegas Golden Knight (Jess Starr/The Hockey Writers)
Benefiting from a treasure trove of draft picks and prospects stemming from the 2017 Expansion Draft, Vegas was dealing from an area of strength to add star power to an already Cup-caliber roster. The same was true of Pacioretty’s subsequent hefty contract extension, which came at a (now unimaginable) time when the organization had cap space to burn.
Latest News & Highlights
Not only did Pacioretty represent the team’s first bona fide star forward (Mark Stone would arrive about five months later), but Vegas still boasted a promising prospect cupboard that included the likes of Cody Glass, making Suzuki somewhat expendable.

Клубная карьера
Первой профессиональной командой Макса Пачиоретти стала команда USHL «Сиу Сити Мускетирз». В 2007 году Макс был выбран на драфте «Монреаль Канадиенс», но прежде, чем перейти в НХЛ, отыграл ещё год за команду Мичиганского университета. 2 января 2009 года молодой форвард дебютировал в НХЛ, в матче против «Нью-Джерси Девилз».
8 марта 2011 года во втором периоде матча между «Монреаль Канадиенс» и «Бостон Брюинз» словацкий защитник «Бостона» Здено Хара провёл против Макса Пачиоретти силовой приём. В итоге форвард врезался головой в стойку, удерживающую заградительное стекло и, как следствие, получил сотрясение мозга и повреждение шейного позвонка. Хара был удалён до конца матча. Инцидент получил широкий резонанс, в частности, по данному эпизоду было начато полицейское расследование. Несмотря на имевшиеся опасения, что этот инцидент может неблагоприятно отразиться на его карьере, Макс Пачиоретти 2011 года подписал новый 2-летний контракт с «Монреалем». По итогам сезона 2011/12 форвард стал лучшим бомбардиром команды, набрав 65 (33+32) очков по системе «гол+пас», и вписал своё имя в историю клуба, как первый в составе «Канадиенс» американец, кому покорился рубеж 30 шайб за сезон. В августе 2012 года продлил контракт с «Монреалем» на 6 лет на $ 27 млн.
Начиная с сезона 2015/16, был назначен капитаном «Монреаля».
За год до окончания контракта, 10 сентября 2018 года, был обменян в «Вегас Голден Найтс» на Томаша Татара, Ника Сузуки и выбор во 2-м раунде драфта 2019 года. В этот же день подписал с «Вегасом» новый 4-летний контракт на общую сумму $ 28 млн.

What Vegas Got
Injuries and the club’s inability to secure the franchise’s first championship have somewhat obscured just how good Pacioretty was with Vegas. After a slight dip in production in 2018-19 that saw him tally 22 goals and 40 points in 66 games, the 2012 Masterton Trophy winner bounced back with 56 goals and 117 points in 119 games over the next two seasons.
More significant were Pacioretty’s postseason contributions. The New Canaan, Connecticut, native recorded 15 goals and 30 points across 36 playoff contests as a member of the Golden Knights. Pacioretty’s time in Vegas was shorter than most fans would have wanted as the team dealt him to the Carolina Hurricanes in a salary dump.
