I think Habs interest in Dubois ended at the draft after they acquired Dach. I think Habs might come back to PLD in 2 years when their rebuild is hopefully turning around and he’s a UFA

If the Pens got offered that they should take it and wouldn't look back. Unfortunately I learned not too long ago that Zucker has all Canadian teams on his list due to the fact his wife, who has a child from her previous marriage, cannot leave the country with her kid.

I just came here to say that "late captain" makes it sound like he died

Not even a remote chance the Jets do either trade.

Retaining and moving Wheeler for a cap dump is nonsensical. Why would Winnipeg do that?

The Jets aren't trading Dubois or DeMelo at this point is the off season without a comparable center and defenseman coming back. They also aren't taking a cap dump back in the deal.

By your definition, wouldn't Wheeler be a cap dump at this point? Or does that only apply for players being traded to the Jets?

No, Wheeler isn't a cap dump. He's just a bit overpaid. He's still almost a point per game player. While Zucker is hot garbage.

This trade has the Jets paying Zucker $9.0 mil for his 17 whole points.

You may need to rein in your bias against Wheeler and the Jets a little bit.

It only applies to players being traded to the jets when it comes to jets fans lol.
But given the fact in this scenario that the jets are retaining on Wheeler, he wouldn’t be a cap dump. 8.25 million Wheeler would be though lol

Literally why I’m here 😂
