Description

Seeing PLD trades popping up again lol

It really has become a yearly tradition here on CapFriendly. So here's how I would approach a PLD trade if LAK get buyer's remorse with Dubois.

I'll say this for my trade proposal. I think LAK rejects this deal 100% of the time. This is only the MAX I would offer if I were Kent Hughes.
Not only that, the only reason LA would move PLD this offseason would be to get out before his NMC kicks in, but it wouldn't apply for MTL, because everyone knows that PLD would waive his no-move for the Habs!!! So there's is ZERO incentive to trade PLD to MTL even if LAK would want to desperately move him. Them getting out before his NMC would literally apply for every team other than MTL lol

So at the end of the day, PLD to MTL is not going to happen!
Let it go, it's ok, it wasn't meant to be.

See everyone in 2025 for next year's iteration of "PLD to the Habs!"

Between the over-ask trades for Allen and the low-ball trades for PLD, Habs fans have taken the crown from Leafs fans as most unbalanced trade propositions.

Congratulations.

To anyone who still takes these seriously: Blake has to double down on the PLD trade, like it or not they are stuck with his sunken cost and his job depends on it turning around. PLD will be getting an improvement to wingers and a new coach so I doubt the next month will be enough assessment time to sell low on such a large contract.

Even posting this doubles down that its a troll post. There is literally one every day, we get it, the trade stunk. The Kings have dropped 14 of the last 17.
