PLD will be in MTL next season but not for that price...

Klingberg contract lmao
PLD would cost more than that
Farrell & Heineman will play in the AHL

Stop I’m laughing so hard at the Dubois trade. Anderson needs probably a 1st to get moved from that terrible contract absolutely no value going to the Jets.

oilers don't want/need Edmundson

The Habs have all the leverage. I know value for value it's ridiculous but it's either that are they just lost Dubois for nothing in FA. Who would have thought Patrick Kane would be only worth a 2nd ? The habs would be dumb to pay "fair" value for him at the moment when they know they can get probably get him for nothing later. Also Josh Anderson has a lot of value what are you talking about? If available there would be a bidding war for him

Kane had a NMC, not Dubois
The Jets can trade him to whoever they want

FLO paid an unprotected 1st + Ty Smilanic + 4th for two months of Chiarot

So you are telling me the Jets could get less for Dubois than Ben Chiarot lmao

What do you don't like about Klingberg's contract? He's only 30 y.o. and brings on average 50 points per years. Too much, too little? Also I do think one of Farell or Heinamen will make the team if not both. I really like Heineman's chance to be honest. I feel he's very close to NHL ready

The thing is all the teams knows he wants to play in MTL, why would they risk trading for him in the risk of him leaving after?

The Habs do not have all the leverage though. "Why would they risk trading for him in the risk of him leaving after?" Sir...let me introduce you to the Trade Deadline where teams pay to have players who have no intentions of re-signing. The Jets could get a much better return for Dubois as a pure rental to a playoff team at the deadline. The MTL has all the leverage narrative just doesn't make sense.

Sure they may not have "all" the leverage but still the return ain't gonna be what everyone expect if he's free in a year. It'll obviously won't be fair market value. Sure the value of Anderson is very debatable, but I'd bet if the habs put Anderson on the market a whole bunch of teams will be calling and they could probably get a first out of it. The Jets ain't really looking at first round pick or prospect they said it themself they want to do a quick turnaround with the core they have. And I do believe he would be a player they'd like to add. Maybe they could add something better extra idk. What woud you ask for them?

I will agree with your first point...if MTL doesn't want to pay since they know they can get him in a year for free then they could wait. But, that doesn't mean WPG won't be getting fair market value for him as a rental at the TDL from a contender. My PLD/MTL trade that I think is fair for both sides is:

To WPG:

-Dvorak
-Kidney
-FLA 2023 1st rounder
-MTL 2023 3rd rounder

To MTL:

-PLD

Anderson is brutal and is a severely overpaid 9th-10th forward. The Habs don’t have the “leverage” the Jets can easily trade him to another team and get a good package and who knows maybe he likes the team he’s traded to…
