Isn’t this the opposite of rebuilding? Regardless leafs accept lol it’s been a pleasure

5 very easy no thank you's for Winnipeg. Not even one player coming back to the Jets fills a need.

You are a rutger mcgroaty off even making the habs begin to think about that deal

There's a 0% chance of Petry ever waiving for Canada especially Winnipeg.

Slafkovsky for Barlow? LMAO why would the Habs do that..

You made my day Windjammer, thank you

You are about a Perfetti and a Hellebuyck away in the first trade

Why do people keep putting Slaf and Reinbacher in deals? Has no one seen the moves Hugues is making right now? He's ain't about to trade out his own picks that have high value.

Unless a teams severely over pays for these guys, they are staying put. MTL GM isn't rushing anything, he's keeping his younger players. The only young players available would be Harris, Barron Kovacevic, and Beck.. As for the rest some may move from Laval (Excluding Mailloux), but other than that he'll play off of someone like Allen for picks or an extra in a deal with retention, Armia, Anderson (Wish he could be traded out..).. But the players they went for in order to rebuild, I don't see them moving out.

*Monahan was a fluke, they were targeting the 1st pick, and he became a surprise finally getting a good year without health issues.

Petry isn't getting traded he will finish out his career in Detroit.

I know a leafs fan when i see one

bumjammer is back! 7th rd pick for Monahan

The only trade that would count as a "rebuilding" trade is the first one, which Montreal quickly declines. Otherwise, you're trading for a pending UFA in Domi, a 33 year old with 3 more years of term in O'Reilly, a 39 year old with a full NMC (at a position of no need for the Jets, to boot), and turning 33 year old Brenden Dillon into 36 year old Jeff Petry.

I'd argue that overall, these trades don't really help the Jets this year (a year where they are firmly entrenched in playoff position) - MAF is unnecessary, acquiring O'Reilly basically means you traded a 1st for Sean Monahan to play 4th line minutes, Max Domi is less productive than Cole Perfetti has been this year, and moving out Samberg & Dillon while only getting back Jeff Petry means that Logan Stanley is drawing into the top-6 every single night. The only plus her is gaining Slafkovsky - but again, there's next to no chance that Montreal makes that deal without a young, established NHL forward with years of team control comes back.
