Pastrnak would be outstanding, but the cost would throw our salary-cap structure, and salary-cap projections out of whack. The cost would also be huge (and would have to include someone for "now" on the wing + a big future spend).
Overall, I think Tree still likely has one big future-spend trade in him in the next 6 months (high-end prospects out, established player in), but Pastrnak would require a good roster player + huge future-spend, plus restructuring things going forward, and that I'd bet just wouldn't be in Tree's plan.
