Quoting: HabsAreSus
Darn! Guess he'll come for free in another year!
Well, there is the situation if you wait & snooze , you may loose out on having a Beliveau type player in PLD. You guys are of to a good start with a Pocket Rocket type in Suzuki, but hoping (Dach develops into PLD) is risky. If you move at draft night and get PLD, you know exactly what you are getting at a very young age and fast advancing your future goal of a Cup showdown. Sorry, Dach is no where near PLD, however you want to slice it. The Jets don't want to loose PLD, but if it becomes out of control and he wants to leave, so be it.
So, a trade involving Dach, Barron, Kidney or Beck and Florida's 1st round pick for PLD is a reasonable ask/request. Wpg is dealing with lots of future unknowns with this type of transaction. Yes, Wpg potential is upside, but a very excellent player is going to the Habs.
Whenever it comes to trades or player movement, the parties involved need to come out in a WIN/WIN situation......
