Thread: Offseason with 5th overall selection and PLD
"For those saying that WIN should just sign PLD for 1 year and trade him as a rental and that he will be valued as a rental. I can assure you that will not happen. The risk of signing PLD to a 1 year extension and having him get injured, then losing him for nothing, makes this scenario practically impossible."

It literally makes more sense to sign him and risk him getting injured than to take this offer..... Because if he doesn't get injured and again thats more likely than not, they'd get a better return than this. They can also trade him at any time, doesn't have to be at the TDL. Whenever he's healthy.

Im all for not offering the moon to get PLD because I agree the Habs are in no position to be paying for premium assets right now either but these asinine "assertions" by my fellow Habs fans are ... well ...... asinine. It almost feels like an overreaction at this point.

If WPG is this bent over in any PLD trade to MTL than why does MTL have to offer anything at all? Wouldn't WPG have to accept anything we give them? If this is the case, than the offer would be Armia and a 7th round pick..... They wouldn't even get Tuch or Ylonen. Obviously that is not the case though because we all know it takes two to tango and WPG has other options.

Conversely, WPG doesn't have to sign him AT ALL. They can trade his rights to another team and let them sign him. If a team like Carolina gets him they can sign and not worry about him getting injured because they signed him for the entire year and to play in the playoffs. Not as trade bait.

MTL would probably have to pay the Florida 1st round pick + to get PLD right now but no one is forcing them to do it. The plausible and "right" option here is to simply wait and sign PLD as a free agent. WPG will get a decent value in trade to a contender team who trades for PLD this year and PLD gets signs with MTL next offseason. Everyone's happy.
