<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Koskinen_The_Great</b></div><div>That is the only thing stopping a MTL offer sheet in July with Winnipeg not opting for team arbitration. The Habs need to shed cap to fit in PLD with raises due next year and cap overages as theyll be in LTIR again with the Price contract along with the cap still in limbo for 2024.

2025 is where all the bad money comes off the books. Armia or Dvorak must be dealt in any PLD trade to make the salary work, the fact that Jets fan hasn't understood this on a salary cap site is wild!</div></div>

The offer sheet makes it easy. But even with PLD, the Habs are likely to be a lottery team in 2024, so do you really want to risk that pick being a top one and going to the Jets? It's a conundrum.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>Hoffman is a negative value asset and will cost a first to move.

Harris doesn't have much, if any, value league wide and no value to Winnipeg.

Beck is an average at best B level prospect.

Florida's first is pretty much a 2nd.

Trades don't work like that. It won't be a collection of pieces that you couldn't care less about losing because they don't have much value along with cap dumps and low value picks. It will cost Montreal something they don't want to lose.

Granted Montreal doesn't have much better that they can offer, so they probably won't be competitive with the other offers Winnipeg receives.

Why would Winnipeg accept a poor value offer when they easily get more?</div></div>

You're not wrong that this deal would be insufficient this summer UNLESS PLD tells the Jets that the only team he'll sign with long-term is MTL. If he indicates otherwise and 5-6 teams are encouraged to bid, there'll be a decently robust auction. That said, you are wrong about two things: Jordan Harris does have value league-wide at this point (though LHD is not a weakness in WPG) ; and Beck is no longer considered a "B" prospect. In his Draft+1 year, Beck was listed in THN's Future Watch Top 100 (#84) and has been in the 20s for most mock re-drafts of the '22 class. By scoring 16 points in 22 playoff games while centring the Pete's second line and handling PK duties, he has solidified his position as a rising prospect and a future NHLer.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>slater417</b></div><div>Neither is assuming the rangers would take anderson's absolutely garbage contract, while also giving up a first round pick.
Goodrow's contract is better than andersons.
MTL is the one who needs to pay in that scenario.
Remove the first, mtl retains to balance the contracts, and its an even flip. But the point of these types of trades isn't to find "balance' its to "trade win", which isn't what usually happens in the NHL.</div></div>

I disagree with your view of what constitutes a "win" in a trade. The Habs and Rangers need different things at this point. The Rangers were showing signs of being a decent team but aren't really ready to beat the Hurricanes, nor the Devils. Do I think they need to move Goodrow? But I think he's a bottom-6 forward. Anderson is more of a middle-6, capable of playing up and down the roster. If the Rangers re-sign Kane, this is a moot question, because Anderson becomes redundant and Goodrow remains a fixture lower down the roster. If Kane isn't back, then Anderson is a good option that helps the Rangers to overcome bigger, faster teams.

Given the team needs, Goodrow for Anderson would be great, even up, assuming Kane doesn't stay with the Rangers. Otherwise, it's a non-starter.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>danielcoe</b></div><div>like with kk the offer sheet just gets him to montreal and then you give him the big money the next year so they can work but montreal wwont do more than 8 mil so if dubois wants to hit a home run moneywise it wont be in montreal... That is why winnipeg will have to trade him before july first or take him to arbitration before july 1st.... otherwise winnipeg could get screwed. I see him going to a contender who has better pieces to offer like LA or col</div></div>

That's the opposite of the KK offer sheet. KK was paid a ridiculous $6M+ for one year, which would have handcuffed the Habs the next year because they then would have had to give KK a raise on that to hold his rights. Instead, KK took the $6M and then signed an extension for $4M/ year, which might still be too generous.
