Simple , you have the Draft
After that you either have to match the Offer Sheets or not.
If you do trading him for 365 days is not allowed as per the CBA taking him into UFA status a week after his 26th birthday.
After the Draft there will not be any return at all for PLD as WPG will have committed to using him as a self rental .

This team just isn't much better, a bit overall but the center depth is super iffy and that bottom six will be a black hole again but thats how Chevy and Chippy seem to like it soooo.... 🤷‍♂️

That defense and goaltending tandem looks much better with the Severson and Reimer additions but again is a team with Bennett and Domi as their top two centers going to make any noise come playoffs? I doubt it and thats if Florida would go for that deal or if Domi would sign, both are debatable.

Should the Jets get that Florida 1st in a Dubois trade they should just keep it.

Have been saying it for years, this organization is lost in the wilderness and seems clueless as to how to steer themselves out of it.

I’d be fine taking Montreal’s unprotected 1st and a 3rd next year as compensation.
There is also the option of moving him to a contender as rental for a 1st and prospect. A full year of PLD is still worth quite a bit. The 1st would be later, but Jets probably wouldn’t have to take cap back in the trade freeing up extra cap space

You aren’t getting that much for Dubois

Swap Mantha for Iorio and make the pick top 10 protected and sure

Detroit says no. Chariot for pionk.

You'd think they'd understand the CBA as the Habs could simply offer sheet PLD then Winnipeg matching would mean they get nothing as they cant trade him for a year but no hes worth a 1st, an A prospect and 2nd lmao. The delusion. AT least know the rules.
