PLD Trade

Who’s gonna tell him?

4 Late 1st/2nd Rd picks isn't enough for a player who had 60 pts last year and is going to walk? Look at what the Wild just got for Fiala

The Wild move is an example of a team up against the cap not being able to afford a player they would like to keep and trying to get the best return possible. 19OA + Faber who is an A prospect is pretty good considering they had no leverage.

For PLD, they have 2 more years of control with him, can fit him under their cap and its also reported they want to try and keep him around. The leverage certainly doesn't favour you at this stage and the proposal lacks the quality they would seek in any trade.

By looking what Wild got for Fiala, against what Fiala was worth over here, this PLD package may be it.

no not even close way differernt scenerio's winnipeg has the cap to sign PLD and has better leverage then minnesota who couldn't sign fiala.

their would need to be an A tier prospect or a solid young NHL player involved also Dubois is a Center and 2 years young as fiala will be 26 soon. so both his age and position hold more value.

Chytil+Cuylle+ Lundkvist+ 23 1st+ 24 3rd would probably be the starting point for dubois.
