Description

Kent Hughes has no leverage in negotiating a reasonable deal for PLD because he can’t offersheet PLD due to the MTL 2nd rd pick being in ARZ.

The trade below allows MTL to acquire that pick, AND shed some salary.

Once MTL acquires their own 2nd rd pick, then they can submit a 1yr/8M offersheet to PLD if they can’t work out a deal with WIN.

WIN doesn’t want an offersheet, because they know he’s walking at the end of the deal. WIN has to decide if they can do better than the offersheet compensation they would receive from MTL, or get more in a deadline deal as a rental.

PLUS… does WIN want to gamble with the possibility of PLD getting hurt before being dealt. If injured and can’t be traded, they run the possibility of losing PLD for nothing.

It makes for an interesting soap… but nothing like this happens unless the Habs acquire the pick from ARZ.

If that deal happens. WIN will be concerned.

if its this offer why would they match as they cant trade him after and walk him to ufa. Jets would get a 2024 unprotected pick and 1/2 early picks in the draft which is quite good. Unrealistic to os but most likely not matched
