A 3rd and a 4th, but the 4th turns into a second of Wennberg has 40 points. Seems fair for both sides.

Do you think it’s unfair for a 25 year old center who has a 50 Point season under his belt?

What about perreault and a 4th from the jets. Works for both sides. Perreault could easily get 40 pts in an offensive role

From a Leafs perspective, what would we have to add to Ceci to make it work? (I know you don't want/need Ceci but we would have to move his contract out for financial purposes).

Wennberg was regarded as a highly creative playmaker in his draft but sadly hasn’t showed the consistency to be a top line centre. Now I’m not sure if Perreault + 4th is enough, keep in mind that sending Wennberg to WPG means he’s going to play with Laine, he can help the Finnish man get 60 goals. Perreault is 31 and has a long injury history, he is still good but it’s too risky to take him and that big contract.

CBJ would want another center in return for Wennberg. We’re really weak down the middle and I don’t think they would just move him for draft picks. They also are stacked on D, G prospects, and RW. So, that leaves a middle 6 left wing or center

I'm aware of their contracts, and because he had good chemistry with Nylander at the worlds... Also gives us more depth for the 3rd line center position so we are able to put Kerfoot on the wing if need be or Wennberg. Do you really wanna see Spezza or Shore playing 3rd line center...like at all? I don't also I think we can find a cheaper replacement for the right side of the D... But that's just my opinionsmile I can fully understand and respect why you might not like this trade proposal though.

You could flip perreault for a 3rd now but he would need to be going the other way to make salary work. Or you could keep him for now and flip him for a up to a 2nd at the deadline. Maybe more if he returns to his 50 pt self. I would do perreault, comrie, and a 5th for Wennberg 1m retained

that was THREE years ago, and his production has plummeted every year since, a 3rd would be too much at this point, he also has 4 year left at 4.9m... no team is going to trasde anything of value for him.

Then explain why you’re the only one who thinks that?

Also on average most NHL players hit their prime at 25-27 so he’s just hitting the window. There’s also been issues with the coach and when you play mad most of the time you don’t play well especially is you have someone sitting barking in your ear for 82 games.

That’s why it’s a 3rd and conditional 4th. If he rebounds you don’t lose much but a couple picks, if he rebounds and hits the top 6 center role he’s pegged for you got him on a good contract for a 2nd and 3rd.

If Perreault could be flipped for a 3rd I'm sure the Jets would've done that by now.
I like Perreault and think he's still a decent and useful player but I don't think there's much of a market for him right now.

I don’t think the jets would want to flip him tor just a 3rd. Not yet at least. I would think that they want to keep him at least into the season as he could land a top six role

If that's what they're thinking they're crazy if there's a trade to be made possible, they've got a few rfa's to sign next season (Roslovic,Niku,etc) as well who might not need huge raises but they will be costing more then they are now and if Perreault is still a Jet then that might be a problem.
I'm a firm believer in moving a guy for a return now then wait and have him cost you something to move him.

Think about it. Are the jets better with perreault in the lineup or a guy like cj seuss. Unless Vesalainen performs better than Perrault, perreault is poised to at least be on the third line and maybe even the 2nd. With the jets line combinations far from figures out, and the jets having just enough cap space to keep perreault if one of laine and Connor get bridged (laine apparently wants a bridge). If they can keep him hey should. If Vesalainen our playes Perrault by Christmas, there will definitely be a market and trade him then for a defensive rd (demers, hamonic, Tanev) or for picks/prospects if pionk proves capable

I get it but idk, that's playing with fire really.
Personally I'd trade Perreault for whatever and sign Dano for $800K and give him an honest shot, he always reminded me of Perreault.

With the d-corps set to be the weakest in years, I think the jets are right to keep perreault. Until the deadline, the extra strong offence should help offset the poor defence. It’s not like perreualt’s value will drop much further. In 4th line/shutdown mins he had over 30 pts. With a role on an offesive 3rd line he should only get more. Even if Vesalainen outplays perreault for that spot, perreault would end up next to Lowry and Appleton. That line should be equal if not better than when Tanev was on it

True, gawd what a waste of time it was having Tanev around and just think if Perreault was on that line it probably gets a few more goals which might of been the difference in some games.
So many possibilities with this lineup but we just got fed the same thing over and over, so frustrating!
