Dont think PHI wants Logan Stanley bad enough to part with a 4th...they already have deslauriers, seeler, allison and macewen in lineup who can all throw them.

Sharks aren't going to pay to move Reimer. Easy no

Panthers decline. Dillon isn’t worth giving up bennet 1v1

Montreal is not moving the Cat's pick before they even know where it will land and maybe not even after they know.

I'd disagree here. . Florida has the talent to be better and they have extra motivation to make moves to improve at the deadline. Even if they are in the lottery I wouldn't expect them to be worse than the bottom 11, meaning their pick cannot equal Bedard. What are the chances of getting another player with the impact of Dubois? So from Montreal's perspective, if that's the package, they do it in a heartbeat.

That said, Winnipeg is not doing that trade at the deadline. . Dubois is a huge part of their success right now and would be a huge piece in a stanley cup run, more so than Dvorak, Barron and two future picks. Winnipeg can get the same package from Montreal in the summer.

The only way this happens at the deadline is if Dubois is injured and done for the season.

You would have to remove the 2nd rd pick and the 1st rd pick would have to be TOP 10 protected

Like you said it won't happen at the 2023 TDL, but why would MTL offer that for PLD ?
Just offersheet him for 1 year
So the Jets have the option to not match & receive MTL 2024 1st round pick & MTL 2024 3rd round pick
or
They match & PLD become an UFA summer 2024
It's a win-win for MTL and a 2024 1st + 3rd is less to lose then the package above

Zero chance Winnipeg trades PLD before next summer.

Florida says no.

The Jets aren't giving Stanley and Heinola away for nothing.

The Jets aren't downgrading to a more expensive, worse backup.

Trade Deadline deal and they trade away their most complete F who's under team control for one more year after this one? Makes no sense... have you watched PLD this season? the guy is a monster and is playing the exact type of game that wins in the playoffs.

According to Tankathon based on GP and P% the Wings will pass the Cat's and they are not selling off assets to tank cause they are just entering their final stages of the rebuild, they may add at the deadline in preparation for next year too. The Cat's aren't catching the Caps, Pens or Lightening for a playoff spot and the Ilse's and Flyer's are going to add as well since they are not looking to tank just retool and have as good of a shot at catching the Pen's and Cap's as the Cat's do, so they could also leapfrog the Panther's. Until the final standings are sorted out and the lottery has been drawn Montreal is not trading the Cat's pick. Besides that even if the Cat's finish with the 16th pick they could still pick 6th which would be horrible to include in a trade for PLD, especially when we are adding to that.

Lol. A Montreal offer sheet 😄. We know how those work out.

??? Did you quote the wrong person. I know it's silly.

haha, no...more of a piggyback/solidarity quote. Also, speaking rhetorically

The dubois trade is wishful thinking at best

So hard, guys over a point a game this year and would look great in a hab jersey. Montreal got a lot of leverage, I’d prefer to take our chances at signing him as a ufa

Makes no sens for Habs to trade any 1st round pick in 2023

Ok first of all, in this fake GM thingy, Montreal isn't making the offer, the Jets are.

secondly a 1 year offer sheet would be amazing if you're Dubois, ok if you're Winnipeg, and absolutely bonkers if you're Montreal.

a 1st and 3rd compensation means the habs offer sheeted him at a salary of no more than 6.3 million for 1 year. PLD signs it and is a UFA in one year when he can name his price - amazing for PLD. Jets would take seconds to decide to match this, they now have a piece that any contending team wants so they either keep him for their own playoff run in 2024 or trade him at the deadline for a package that will definitely be better than a 1st and a 3rd. Don't forget, Ben Chariot got the habs an unprotected 1st, a 4th and prospect at the deadline.

If Montreal is willing to wait, just wait one more year and it won't cost them a thing except an UFA contract offer. Offer sheeting is an absolutely career limiting move for Hughes.

LOL I'm not even sure Kent Hughes is as committed as you are to not moving the pick. Me saying it could happen, does not mean it will happen, but nobody can be that definitively sure about this pick not being traded.

You are right
MTL should just wait, if he doesnt sign here too bad, he didnt really want to come here after all
