No to Pacioretty.

Galchenyuk is far more proven than Bennett and also young. But we're already stacked on the left side. You'd think they want someone who can help the right side that happens to also shoot right.

Hoffman is also a much more proven NHLer, but is 6 years older. On the plus side you get more help now, fills a dire need, and he'll be good for a few years yet, whereas in retaining Bennett you'd be waiting who knows how long for him to figure out how to produce consistently (if he even does), and while last night was great, let's now allow a 2 point night beside Gaudreau to make us lose sight of his overall season and consistency struggles.

I'd say the latter two options are worth considering at least.
