<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>Winnipeg is looking to get back to the playoffs, they need to get a replacement center in a PLD trade (Dvorak). They also need a guy of Anderson's ilk in their forward group, they have no one like that currently. And their bottom 6 could use a guy like Armia (who Jets fans know and love). I don't think that Chevy would accept this but I also don't think he would just hang up as you seem to be suggesting. A better deal for the Jets would be in the mold of the Tkachuk trade. Someone to replace PLD at center immediately Huberdeau for Tkachuk esk (Dvorak) + cap offset who may or may not extend but has high skill, with 1 year remaining on his contract Weegar esk (Drouin). Plus a top 10 protected 1st, we can skip the Schwindt and a 4th additions.</div></div>

You did not even reference the cap commitment that Winnipeg has to give in this situation. They're taking on contracts with term of middle-of-the-lineup players for an RFA top-6 center.

Here lets change the narrative.

Nashville will give Montreal Sissons, Granlund, and McDonagh for Kirby Dach if he won't sign (hypothetical).

A combined 14.6M (compared to the 13.3M in yours) for 3+ years for an RFA center that won't sign.

A bottom-6 guy, a center to replace Dach, and in this case, it's a veteran defenseman that gives the lineup an experienced mentor which they have no one like currently.

And yeah, I get it, comparisons are never the greatest because they're always different situations but Montreal doesn't even consider this whether they're contending or rebuilding.

Simply put, you can't trade a player with potential for a bunch of middle-of-the-lineup guys with lots of salary.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>Excellent write up. I think the way I'm looking at it right now as non Jets/non Habs fan is this way:

Winnipeg needs to set a price and stick to it. I've heard the "He wants to go to Montreal!", "He's going to Montreal as a UFA in 2 years!", and "Winnipeg has no leverage!", but they've also got 2 years of control. If this is the price they've set, great, do it. If not, don't. Dubois is a 24 year old center that has absolutely no trade protection. If someone comes along and offers what you want, take it from them. Even with only 2 years, he still holds a ton of value to a playoff team, and they can just let him walk in 2 years. When you look at rental prices, the deadline this past year saw an absolute boatload going back for a number of rentals, so I'd be curious to see what 1.25 years of Dubois could even bring back.

All of that being said, he also completely quit on the Jackets before he was moved, so there's potential for him to do it again (in which case buyer friggin' beware! Imagine what happens in Montreal when he has a couple of bad weeks and the fans/media rip his soul out!).

I don't know...I guess it all depends on what they're actually looking for.

Cheers!</div></div>

I think if the Jets would be interested in a package deal, Hughes would of been able to figure something out by now (As you can see on here, in some cases, both fan bases can actually agree on certain package deals, which is extremely rare on CapFriendly lol). I think you're right, as in Cheveldayoff has set his price and is sticking to it. It's just that it's for one of MTLs untouchables.... so nothing is happening.
