I think youre the only Jets fan with a clear mind and unbiased opinion. And yeah I'd say Ylonen is a commodity the Habs can afford to lose as Tuch is still an unknown and norlinder is a fringe AHLer at best
I can separate my bias from reality I guess.
I just don't see how Dubois' value isn't down a bit, if he had a contract with like 4 years left on it than yeah he'd be worth more but with only two years of control left and his intentions well known he's not going to return some package with
A-prospects and two 1sts, whats being proposed here with a little modifications is likely the best they'd get considering the situation.
There's also some really bad takes on Dvorak and a firm belief that Florida's 1st is going to be a late one when its possible it could be closer to the middle or late teens, I could see Florida regressing a bit this season.
Also think this idea that they'd get a better or same return if they trade him at the deadline really misses the mark, we pretty much know who the real contenders are for next season, are their late 1sts or better prospects that were likely late 1st or 2nd rounders themselves really so much better?!.. lol .. I really think it's a bad idea to keep a guy around who doesn't want to be on your team much longer than you have to, the Jets already have a known room issue, keeping Dubois for 3/4's of the season isn't going to make that situation any better.
Anyway, those are my thoughts on the PLD situation, its not great for the Jets but it is what it is, best to just cut their losses with the best they can get now and move on imo.
