Tyler Yaremchuk: "...him sitting here a year out from unrestricted free agency saying “I’m not signing here again”, them trying to get proper trade value for this guy is nearly impossible, because teams will sit there, specifically a team like Montreal I’d imagine and go “woah, you want a first and a prospect and all of this? We’re not competing next year, if we just wait 12 months, we’ll sign him for no assets in free agency.”

Mike McKenna: "Well, as a player he doesn’t care what they gave up to bring him in. He just wants what he wants. But this guy’s under 25 years old, and he’s already asked for a trade twice. He’s a flight risk. Why would you want that player on your roster? His play’s been spotty too. There’s times where he completely disappeared this year, and he is not beyond the second line center. For where he went in the draft, he should be a top-flight first line center. He showed it at times in Columbus, and he hasn’t reached that peak to stay there"

Winnipeg has, and I can't stress this enough, absolutely NO leverage in any PLD trade they make. If you still think you can be picky and get exactly what you want for him is beyond laughable. Teams will just wait him out if Chevy wants to be nitpicky. There's a 99.9% chance you DON'T win a PLD trade. Any hopes and dreams you had of getting a genuine return was thrown out the window the second he said he wasn't staying.

PLD is a diva with a bad attitude. He's never happy anywhere he's played and has never been better than a 2C, but is somehow worth your entire prospect pool. Why are teams going to want to commit to this guy?
