He's 35 years old, but he's ridiculously skilled and one of the best pure goal scorers I've ever seen. He's not Jagr old or anything, so it wouldn't be crazy to automatically expect 20 goals and 50+ points from him still.

Bergevin seems to be a loose cannon though so who knows what he'd actually accept.

Bergevin can ask for those pieces all he wants, but clearly he doesn't get the best of trades as you can see from his trade history. A little negotiating on Treliving's part and I could easily see a 1 for 1 trade, Pacioretty for Brodie.
My only issue is that Patches is a LS-LW, so it doesn't really address our lineup problems.
Still, he's a good player that's undervalued the same way Monahan is....because he's quiet.
