I would wait another 12 months and sign Dubois as a UFA, and keep Barron and the first. Let's be patient and embrace the rebuild.

Buying out Hoffman's contract next summer would be a better option.

Pairing Edmundson with Petry could be huge.

The value isn't bad, but it will depend on the year Dvorak has. He'll only have 2 years left next year and is overpaid for a bottom sixer, so isn't really a desirable piece.

The Jets might as well just wait until the TDL next year and take the standard 1st and good prospect then and have the benefit of PLD for the year as opposed to downgrading to Dvorak.

Dubois also won't sign a long term deal at far below market value as you have him doing.

would be a solid addition for sure. If he stays healthy till the deadline its going to cost more than a 2nd though.

They can't wait until TDL. They need Edmundson yesterday. Petry is doing nothing and is the 2nd largest contract on the payroll. Edmundson would secure their investment.

Thats fair, but MTL isnt going trade edmundson immediately after he returns from injury unless they think its a similar or better return than they would get at the deadline. Usually an acquisition this early in the year is pricey.

It will depend on what PIT has to offer and how urgent it is for them to fix their D
