Habs should want PLD kinda

Created by: TommyBPickles
Team: 2024-25 Montreal Canadiens
Initial Creation Date: May 4, 2024
Published: May 4, 2024
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
PLD is a huge gamble but IMO the habs should get him to be a top 6 winger. Take him away from center ice so he hurts you a little less on his off nights. But the real reason they should get him is the huge question mark that Dach still is. PLD is possibly a cheaper to aqruire back up plan for if dach simply can't stay healthy. Put gally on the other wing and pray that some of his effort eventually rubs off on PLD. The habs could put together a package that is more desirable than buying PLD out if that is truly on the table and it probably should be. Both teams are taking a huge gamble but both teams kind-of need too. Maybe LA wants to just keep him and hope for the best but it's kinda hard to imagine.

Hell no thats aggressively stupid.

You can get a 50 point winger for way less than 8.5 million

I would agrue putting anderson in the deal makes it so you are only gambling the difference for the first 3 years as that cap space was already beening used for nothing and past that the cap hopefully is high enough that you can work around if he continues to be himself

they could dump anderson 50% retained and probably get a 3rd why risk it for at best a 60 point player

I think the offer I put together is more balanced. To me this is too tilted in LAK favor.

You dont trade for him. You wait for the Kings to buy him out and sign him or you leave him be
