<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>VladislavTretiak</b></div><div>This is a very relevant point: "what happens if he goes to another team and loves the spot and stays there?"

For now we hear rumors that PLD wants to play in Montreal. If he's traded to another team as a rental, loves the spot and decides to stay there, then everything he said about his desire to play in Montreal was just a tactic where Habs are used as a leverage to get the contract he wants. That's why I'd prefer to sign him as a UFA in 2024-25. I'd then be sure that he really wants to play in Montreal.</div></div>

I think this whole MTL thing has been a negotiation tactic. He’s never once said he will only play in MTL, just that ever hometown kid would love to play for his hometown team and that he’d love the opportunity to play in MTL. The only thing that’s really been guaranteed is that he intends to test FA which I mean every player probably says behind scenes to get more $.

Either way I think jets either keep the player, or move him to the highest bidder.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>VladislavTretiak</b></div><div>Let's say Montreal refuses to pay that price. Where else can you trade him to get what you want?</div></div>

There are going to be a lot of teams willing to pay a price like a 1st and a good prospect even if it’s just for 1 year of PLD. His worth as a rental to contenders is easily worth that. The guy is going to be a 85-90 pt player this year. His QO is only like 6.6 million. Jets can easily get a 1st and good prospect back from any contender looking to add a top line forward for one year.

MTL takes a risk not trading for Dubois. Sure he may end up in FA anyways and become a hab, but what happens if he goes to another team and loves the spot and stays there? MTL loses out on their hometown 1C. It’s a risk either way for MTL whether they pay for him in a trade or gamble on FA.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SociallyHawkward</b></div><div>Hawks accept. It's nice to see someone realize that even Friedman could be wrong. But why would you put the best faceoff guy in the league on the wing?</div></div>

Lowry should be moved to 4C with a Toews acquisition.

Also, I think paying more than a 2nd or 3rd is definitely reasonable and likely. But I’m not sure they get a 23 1st for toews. Perhaps if they’d settle for 24 1st they get one. But think it’s more likely they get a nice prospect who needs a change of scenery and a 2nd. Something like Heinola and a pick, or a different prospect and a pick. Especially considering toews has full control of where he goes.

Also as for the OP, jets will have ~9 million dollars in cap space at the deadline. So if toews is acquired at 5.25, you still have just under 4 million left to make other moves.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Kane has been dealing with a hip impingement for the last 2 to 3 years. It's a nagging injury that flared up when he took a hard hit to that hip, but does not make the impingement worse only causes more discomfort. He may have surgery to repair it, it's outpatient surgery, but it doesn't stop him from playing hockey...it's simply a choice whether to throw the towel in on the season and get it done or to wait until the offseason or wait until his career is over. Hip impingements are extremely common in the overall population, but like a casual weekend runner, it creates general soreness and discomfort. I have one and decided not to repair it (obviously not a professional athlete), my wife a marathon runner had hers repaired but it's elective ultimately.</div></div>

Ahhhh okay this makes total sense. I think Friedman said there was a bit of conversation happening there in terms of whether to do it now and sit out and sign a 1 year deal or not do it.

Will be interesting to see what happens, I’d imagine he probably just waits to have it done.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SociallyHawkward</b></div><div>Kane is back already. Value isn't quite there in this trade. 1 of lucius or mcgroarty + 23' first + heinola or chibrikov + Appletons cap dump would be the asking price for acquiring both of Chicago's franchise players within the division.</div></div>

Shows you how much I’ve been paying attention to CHI hahaha….

Last I heard on 32 thoughts there was a chance kane would have surgery or something. But again I’d love to acquire kane and toews, and I agree that the price likely is what you’ve mentioned or close to it. I’m not sure the jets have any interest in moving McGroarty or Lucius so the deal is likely dead there. I still think toews is the perfect acquisition for the jets.
