-Dubois has already stated he's not signing in Winnipeg long term.

-Pathetic offer for Chychrun (even though I think he's overrated)

-Florida would have no interest in taking on Wheeler's contract.

negotiation tactic.

This is allegedly from the Winnipeg Athletic writer:

"I believe he quite sincerely does hope to test the UFA market in 2024. I believe he would like to play in Montreal in the long run and has not been shy about expressing that within team circles"

Detroit accepts.

Lol any other city you could probably believe that. Don't understand Winnipeg fans that can't accept that people don't want to play there.

I believe Dubois will sign a 1yr deal and then the Jets end up trading him after the 22-23 season if there is no change in his view. Basically Jacob Trouba again.

If he does change his view (I doubt it at this point), then it wouldn't be an 8yr deal either at that point. In that case, I could see a 2-3yr deal at that point to position himself to benefit from cap normalization for the contract after that at the age of 27 or 28.

Because it’s not true??

Connor, Ehlers, Scheifele, Wheeler, Morrissey, Hellebuyck, Byfuglien, Lowry, Pionk all signed 5-8 year deals

Copp wanted to stay but there just wasn’t room. they were discussing a long term extension last offseason.

Trouba liked Winnipeg but his wife had school in New York and his dad couldn’t watch his games in Canada
