Quoting: HabsLoveZuki
Norlinder Can be replaced by any prospect that is not: Roy, Guhle, Barron, Harris, and mailloux (Players like Caufield and Romanov are not prospects anymore)
If you want PLD, one of the guys on that list is gone. Including potentially Caufield and Romanov, honestly.
PLD is a former 3rd overall pick who, I would say, has lived up to that billing (re-do that 2016 draft, the only players I put ahead of him are Matthews, DeBrincat, & Adam Fox; then put him, Tkachuk, and Laine as pretty much equals.) He's going to cost money, sure, but when you consider Winnipeg gave up Laine & Roslovic to get him, you're not going to turn around and acquire him without premium assets going back.
You're offering two late 1st rounders, a late 2nd rounder, a former 3rd rounder who's at the back end of your team's top 10 prospects, and a cap dump. Not a lot of stuff I'd call premium there.
If you don't want to give up Montreal's 1st rounder, the deal probably has to start with Caufield & Calgary's 1st and maaaaybe you get the Jets to listen. But not this.
