Oh this is hockey Blasphemy, saying PLD is worth less than McDavid or MacKinnon! My God man how could you say such a thing! PLD's value right now is slightly more than what Adam fox was worth when he pulled the "I won't sign anywhere but NY"! I would say the true value of PLD will be close to what Eichel got (Alex Tuch, Peyton Krebs, a first-round pick in 2022, and a conditional second-round draft pick for 2023). Which when you consider that Monreal needs to move players not futures in any trade you are talking Armia=Tuch two middle 6 forwards with similar playing styles. Krebs=Kidney or Farrell prospect worth about a 2nd round pick. Dvorak's value has decreased a bit and we overpaid for him a bit. So let's say he is still worth just a 1st. So that just leaves the 2nd round pick to be covered but since Dubios is not on the same level as Eichel does it really need to be covered? IMO it does not, Eichel is an elite 100+ point player Dubios is not. The deal would be something like Armia + Dvorak + Kidney, Farrell or a 2nd, unless there is some crazy fan out there that thinks PLD is worth more than Eichel.
Edit** The other thing the Jets have working against them is the clock. You really want to take PLD to arbitration where they likely award him 8-9 mil on a 1 year contract? I think that 8 or 9 Mil counting against the Jets cap could be spent on other upgrades
