Dubois situation is similar to Trouba in 2019
With scheifele/wheeler/helly all entering the last year of there contracts and Dubois with one year of team control left, the fate and spot Dubois lands, may not be entirely in his control. It also changes the packages back. Let’s say that helly or scheifele decide they want to go home or closer to home, without them it may go to rebuild over retool and go for more futures, they could want something short term so the offer comes in at 2/3 years and high 20s for Dubois and pushes all this talk off another year or two. My guess is that jets offer up a 5 for 40 for scheifele and helly and 1x4 for wheeler and 3x9.5 for Dubois and take a swing for a couple more years.

No matter how one builds it, jets play Lowry as 3c minutes, and scheifele/Dubois eat the majority of the rest, obviously toews is an upgrade, but lt might be a wait til off-season and hopefully a hometown discount upgrade, jets could use an upgrade on the wings also, missing a gun, havent replaced the carry the team streakiness of laine, especially on the pp.

I think the blueline is pretty well set, large physical right handed dman are hard to come by, so upgrading what is there, probably needs to come through the draft or possibly bargain hunt a trade or ufa. No quick fix so might as well ride out the contracts on the right side, make a little room on the left soon for the kids and hopefully there’s a right handed dman to push or jump the line soon. But going to take time, and definitely not trading from a strength so better to stand Pat.

PLD UFA read description
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>This is an insane premise. No way PLD signs for 1 year in the offseason. Habs will have to trade for his rights or lose their chance. I am a diehard Habs supporter but this premise that all Habs fans are spouting is total nonsense.
Can you name 1 player in the last 10 years who has signed 2 1-year deals in a row if he had any other option? The risk he would be taking with his career and future earnings does not justify the return he will get.
His rights will be traded in the offseason to a team that will sign him to a long term extension for 8M or more per season.</div></div>
I still think there’s a spot here where he resigns in Winnipeg for 3 years 8.5 to 9.5 and then traded in two years, when jets window is closed or closing and possibly Montreal at that point or somewhere else then goes 8x at 27 years old

Who’s coming to Winnipeg? Even for 8 million, I would rather overpay Dubois 3x27 plus than give someone an overpay or overterm for a replacement. A ton does depend on scheifele and helly contracts, if they want top money or to move on, going to be the busiest off-season in franchise history.

If I’m Dubois, I try to get Winnipeg to overpay large on a 3 year deal, and walk into free agency at 27 and 7/8 x something large also. Gives the jets to play him for two years and then move for what is needed before year 3. Just think it’s easier to get paid now, and then 7/8 year contract, rather than trying to tack on 2/3 years on after 7/8 seasons.

Jets trade deadline
I believe that toews/chychrun are luxuries that the jets can afford, but I don’t think they are going to pull the trigger on them. Jets probably leave two vets in those roles over adding. Dillon/Lowry. I would love some healthy upgrades on Appleton and barron or both to strengthen top 9. Possibly a vet bargain add for 4c, and a 8th right handed dman. Just in case of an injury or suspension of scheifele/Dubois come playoff time. Going to be one interesting year, hopefully a healthy run in the cards.

Going all in for Bedard
Ya if I’m chicago I’m unloading anything possible to anybody that has a remote chance of falling into lottery, even possibly moving protected firsts and the whole nine yards to load up on this draft. Toews to Winnipeg retained would probably have to be shined up a bit to get that 23 first, but not impossible. Damn who is ready to have a Seth Jones 8x9.5 dropped on them lol

Jets all in on Meier and Kuzmenko
Winnipeg doesn’t have the luxury of trading for a guy and putting 8x on him. Nobody going to check enough boxes and have winnipeg on the top of their list for contract extension. So that basically stalls it at this point. Stone or toews a few years back possibly, but still doubt that. Jets draft, develop and possibly reward, then repeat.

Timo Trade deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChadLucifer</b></div><div>I would rather rebuild in 8 years than 2 lol</div></div>
Rebuild is coming ready or not, with life span of Lowry/scheifele/helly/wheeler, possibly a retool with ehlers/Connor/morrissey, but a ton is deciding on this summer and the Dubois/scheifele/helly contracts, before I spend the assets and contract extension on Meier, got to know Dubois status and also what the scheifele and helly camp are looking for, which could basically force somewhat of a rebuild/retool in themselves. Doubling down on current group with so much up in the air could be rough on the next gm if it hits wrong.

8 years puts him to 35, add in helly and scheifele heading for the wrong side of 30, starting to get a lot of the payroll on the wrong side of 30, just a tougher place to rebuild without any ufas to come speed it up.

Jets goal isn’t too turn into the sharks dumpster fire, there a few contract extension mistakes away from trouble, this trade would have the possibility of moving them into trouble especially with that contract extension. Jets need to stay relatively young. Nice add for this year, but probably not happening.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChadLucifer</b></div><div>The Jets will only making a Timo trade if he’s re signing. The thing is he won’t. But if we’re talking hypothetically Chevy only does this move if he re signs. The jets can fit Timo as Wheeler will be shed this summer. Dubois will be leaving in 2024 so that’s more cap. I think in this world the jets retain Helle, Scheif, sign Timo and have Lucius fill in 2C as Dubois walks. A more realistic trade would be
2023 1st 2024 2nd Heinola Chibrikov
Nikita has serious top 6 potential and Ville has top 4 potential
Jets sign Timo 8x8.5</div></div>
Hypothetically speaking, but would it not make a decent amount of sense for the jets to offer up a 3/4 year deal x 9.25 say or a bit of a overpay for Dubois, have him for 2/3 years and then trade him and he goes out and gets his 8x contract at that point. So short term Dubois gets big bucks and still leaves him young enough to hit a higher cap and his 8x contract.

Pld/scheifele/helly all three probably heavy negotiations this off-season, major dominos on what’s next, I really don’t want to move that 23 first, even if it’s dead last, ok maybe if its dead last in the first round. But no guarantees on that.

Coyotes might as well move the franchise if they move a couple guys that committed that long term with the chaos of that organization. I believe the coyotes are more at the building stage than tearing it right back to the studs again. Not turning down draftpicks, but those two would be classified as the nuclues along with goalie and Keller

Not overly sure the upgrade is worth the price, will be interesting to see what the market is this year. Domi buy without losing a roster player would be something I would look at. Veteran leadership of toews or monahan never a bad thing, but possibly not a fit yet.

Lowry into top 6, kind of defeats the purpose of the whole exercise. I’m sure there’s some wing rental options out there to stack up top 9 a little easier than buying monahan or toews and revisit in offseason depending on Dubois/scheifele contract status.

Still think Dubois signs a 3/4 year deal in Winnipeg before he cashes large, get 24 to 32 out of Winnipeg before he goes 50 plus somewhere else. Not always all about the money, but could line up a nice double dip for a couple healthy contracts.
