I think illustrates why they will wait till free agency.
They arent giving the jets a slaf suzuki caufield ghule 5oth overall pick level asset. But the gap between a lot of that and the next tier isnt what the jets want either.

Yeah no thanks we’re good

How much leverage does Winnipeg think they have here? The whole point of Montreal trading for Dubois is that it’s coming at a discount since he apparently wants to play here, and would likely sign here as a free agent anyways. We aren’t paying full price. I mean, are they really expecting another team to give up a roster player of comparable value for Dubois when he’s basically a rental?

We aren’t giving up the 5th overall pick. Winnipeg has no leverage in this situation.
zombiejeesus
Why would we trade 5th overall for pld. Whoever wrote this is dumb as fuck

They better add Connor with Dubois if they want the 5th OA.
greasydrg
I guess I understand why the Jets want inmediate help with pieces like Connor/Morrissey/Hellebuyck already in place.
On the other hand they were a middling team with PLD, Scheifele is likely leaving, and Wheeler isn’t getting any younger… maybe cut your losses?

5OA for an RFA, career high 63 point player?
Absolute hard pass. They smoking that good shit at the Athletic.

Man they’re gonna be underwhelmed as fuck if people genuinely think that’s what they’re getting for PLD lmao

HAHAHA NO

Seems like nobody understand the situation here. PLD will NOT reach UFA status next year, that’s over with a sign and trade formal ask to the Jets. He’s going elsewhere.
I think the one situation that this take misses is that Winnipeg is rumoured to be open to move wheeler and schiefle. Both large bodies like Anderson or Dvorak (granted they are not as good) but that Dvorak and Anderson could be part of some sort of a three way deal where maybe huberdeau ends up in Winnipeg.
With that said, if I am GM I am looking to trade Anderson for just about any first rounder in 2025/2026 so that I can have a couple ELC contracts on the books years from now.

The 5th overall pick for a guy who’s 1 year away from UFA and won’t sign with their team??? Lol! Not to mention the 24 year-old has already demanded to be traded twice in his short and inconsistent career.
This sounds more like a fan Reddit post than content that belongs behind a paywall.

this seems like an overpayment from Mtl compared to the hypothetical LA Kings deal which is Pierre-Luc Dubois and Logan Stanley for Gabriel Vilardi, Viktor Arvidsson and a third-round pick.

Unless PLD signs for 1mil for 8 years if we trade for him now. Why would we give our 5th?
Sportsguy1223
I wouldn’t give up 5 ofc, but it’s maybe starting too look like we might miss out on Dubois all together. I don’t think it’s crazy he signs longterm somewhere after we don’t give up what the jets want
Hockey4Life27
5 OA pick for PLD who is an RFA 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

If they need immediate help, I think Dvorak fits the bill (I also think this sub underrates him – very good 3C who played with rough wingers and can go up the lineup in a pinch). If the Florida 1st, Dvo, and a dece prospect (Heineman/Kidney?) gets the job done, I say go for it.

Honestly, I think we were right to salivate over PLD in previous seasons.
But since we have Dach now, I don’t really see the reason to pursue him. We got Dach for a much, much lower price and he seems to be filling the same role.
If PLD wants to sign here, that’s fine. But I don’t see any point in spending assets for something we basically already have.
RikNasty2Point0
Fucking lol. Yeah we gonna give you that fifth we just tanked for. For an underperforming temperamental French player when we just struggled with our last temperamental French player.
tyrapjohnson
5th overall. They drunk? Guy wants out, they have zero leverage.
ButterUtters
This is a good assessment. Pretty much anything that would actually net us Dubois this season will be a package that none of us want to part with. I’d be happy to see something like Anderson, Florida’s 1st and some nonesense but Winnipeg just won’t take it.
I’m on team “get Dubois now if possible” but I just don’t see the possibility. Sucks that Dubois is trying to get out this season since it kills our chance of getting him in FA next season, but I don’t really blame him with the current Jets situation.

5OA AND Josh Roy? Only Milbury would make a trade that stupid
bosomarly
How is PLD’s value this high? He just recently started to produce at a decent rate in the league, its not like hes an established ppg player. I dont get it, even the supposed 9M$/year hes asking is way too much.

Lol why would we trade for him just wait a year???
