Not a bad offer for PLD to be honest. Especially when you could just wait 1 more season and sign him for free.

I honestly think the Canadians should just wait for him to be a UFA. While you are giving a lot to Winnipeg for him, they are all pieces the Jets don't need. We need a right side dman, a good 1 or 2 center and a high pick in this years draft. In all honesty, look at Dvoraks stats. He never plays a full season and is a defensive liability, best suited for a 3C or 4C slot. Kidney could be a 1 or 2 C but the Jets don't have time to wait. They cannot rebuild, it has to be a retool here or the fans won't fill the stands and we will leave again. Norlinder is a LHD which we have plenty of. While I do think money and a chance to win will win over Dubois for who he chooses to play for. I think a 2023 Fla 1st, and Barron would be the ask from Winnipeg. Not sure MTL gives that up or not.

Too much. Comparables are Chychrun and Horvat.

Chychrun = 1st (12th overall) + Two 2nds

Horvat = 1st (18th overall), Beauvillier, Raty

Using these comparisons something like 1st (17th overall), Dvorak, Kidney is enough. Adding two more seconds on top of that is an overpay.

Norlinder has minimal value, if any.

Edit: You have $12M in cap space... why give away a 3rd to trade Armia?

It may be enough value wise for Dubois, but the players involved are not what Winnipeg needs. Our prospects at center and left defence are deep,

Never mind the return -- Los Angeles isn't taking Joel Edmundson for one season at full price. We'd much prefer to spend more to sign a free agent for 5 years.

We might pay a future third for Edmundson with 50% retention to play #3LhD for one season.
