Quoting: Brady135
If you think you’re getting Dach or the 5th overall pick, you’re dreaming. No team is going to pay more for a player that has stated he wants to test free agency next year. He’s a one year rental unless they work out a sign and trade, but even then Winnipeg has no leverage to ask for a huge return when the acquiring team can just wait a year and sign him for free. If you don’t want Dach, or the 5th overall pick, I’d be happy to hear your better proposal.
Not asking for 5 oa, but from MTL, all I want is dach. MTL doesn’t really have the pieces to entice me otherwise. Now if they can get a pick in the 10-15 range in the draft, then we can talk. Otherwise, I’m sure other teams will offer better than an slightly overpaid middle 6 player in Dvorak (and even if you don’t agree with that, at least you can agree that he is easily replaceable and doesn’t fill any sort of need for the jets), kidney (who is behind the likes of lambert, Lucius, mcgroarty, chibrikov, and rashevsky in a jets prospect depth chart), a 1st at 23 oa that isn’t going to give the jets a better prospect than they already have in their pool, and at best a 2nd next year.
Sorry, not sorry, but none of that entices Winnipeg. Other teams will put together a better package for him as a rental, since they’ll actually give something the jets even slightly want.
For example, if a deal like Dubois and wheeler to Washington for mantha and kuzy might be on the table as has been likee by Washington fans before, why would the jets fans even entertain this offer?
