Sujet: Since Winnipeg passes on Montreal PLD trade offers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Howie</b></div><div>Remember it needs to beat the rental offer and that 2023 first is a real boost to getting PLD for 7 years at a cheaper cap hit than if waiting for ufa. The get the benefit of ensuring PLD and getting him now for an affordable rate can be vital into the future on a deal with term. PLD is also a more established player in his own right with multiple seasons being a top 6 center while dach had injuries and bottom 6 time. There has to be some premium asset the jets get for him like the 17th over pick kidney kapanen and dvorak doesn't seem like that farfetched of an offer and makes sense all around</div></div>

I agree it needs to beat the rental offer. That’s not hard to do though. What I proposed above is a way to sign effectively a 9 year deal (to lower the cap hit). None of that likely matters though as Winnipeg’s best option will likely be to take the Habs’ package.

Right now the Florida pick would be 14oa. The Habs are rebuilding, which is why they would pay a 13oa for a player with 5 RFA years left in Dach. Hughes knew what he was getting. Apparently Chicago didn’t know what they were giving up. But it’s Hughes who matters for PLD, not Chicago. And there’s no other team in the league that is paying anywhere close to 14oa in this years deep draft for PLD. So that’s also likely moot.

If Winnipeg plays hardball, they’re getting a weak rental price (late first rounder) plus meh whatever else from a team who knows he won’t sign there long term, and no valuable roster C who can play now.
Kidney, Kapanen, Dvorak, and an early second rounder is nothing to sneeze at.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>willinlisbon</b></div><div>I've said it many times here before and what Jets fans don't seem to understand is that PLD and Hughes are in complete control on this.

1. If the Jets look to make a deal with ANY other club, that club is going to ask to speak to PLD before any deal is finalized given the rumors of him wanting to come to the Habs. No team is going to give up what the Jets will be looking for if they'll only be getting PLD for one year and then lose him for nothing in return as a UFA.

2. Given the point above, and the fact that Hughes knows that the Jets are desperate to at least get something/anything for PLD....he can play the waiting game and then low ball the offer. The longer the Jets hold off....the offer starts to become lower and lower.

If/when Hughes pulls off this trade it will be considered the steal of the century</div></div>

Many Jets fans “believe” that Dvorak isn’t a good player. Yet most of those who hold that opinion have also probably not seen him play more than 10 games. Probably many not more than 5 games.

Sujet: Josh Anderson for the 2024 28th to 32nd overall pick
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheMooterus</b></div><div>So you post this trade, get ridiculed (rightfully) in the comments for overvaluing Anderson &amp; instead of reevaluating your valuation of him, you not only keep the same trade, but you add a 5th round pick to the return package.

Again, Dallas doesn't do this. They are much better off moving Dellandrea or Johnston up to the 2nd line than picking up a 35-point winger with $27.5M remaining on a 5-year contract. You keep bringing up the Chiarot and Lehknonen trades, but you fail to mention the most glaringly obvious difference. Both players last year were on expiring contracts. If Florida or Colorado had to pay for 4 more years of an overpriced contract, you don't see the same return (which could still be argued was an overpayment).

Montreal gave him the contract; it's their issue for AT LEAST the next 3 seasons, especially with the questions surrounding the salary cap.</div></div>

You though Chiarot was overpaid. And then Steve Yzerman game him a 36% raise and a 4 year term. But what does he know about building a cup winner. Except when he played. Oh, and that other team he built down south too…
