<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BuckRogers</b></div><div>I agree with the two way street, but next year he will become UFA and he wants to play in is home town, so if the Jets want to get a return the need think about it.

Harris plays Left and Right, they have players in the deal that can play in NHL level and with a two way center of course he needs to be healthy to be available... Harris was a dominant D in US programs and NCAA. He as great skating, vision, passing... Really nice prospect playing in the NHL level at 20 years old for D it's not commend. First pick in 2023 draft none protected!!!

In the circumstances It is a fare return. If not MTL they can wait another year and sign him as UFA.</div></div>

Here's the thing we already have our lefty playing right in schmidt and with trade protection and his play would have little value and isn't worth it to swap for a guy in Harris who sure is good but doesn't change the needle on defense. The nhl forwards are more just extra for us and do nothing long term. They are nice to have but no value wise for the jets where we have young talent emerging in lambert and others that would be held back for them creating a situation worse than if we never got them. The first is nice but that's about it. See what I mean now about looking at a teams situation to evaluate what a deal could consist of so a deal can realistically make both gain what they need. This is why even tho this deal has value 3/4 pieces don't really do anything and thus create fluff to pad a deal without actually making it better for the team.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>Sure, Price is a star. Weber? Sure, maybe...

As for comparing Pittsburgh and Philly? They were both legitimately in playoff positions. Montreal was 10 points back. Everyone can be super happy about beating someone in a 5 game series after 5 months off, but if you really want to bank on that, there's a good chance that you'll end up being disappointed.

As for prospects, I really like Suzuki, and think he could make a jump this season. As for KK, Romanov and Caufield-They've all got a long way to go.

Again, there's certainly a decent future for the Habs, but every team in the league has young guys like KK, Romanov, and Caufield.</div></div>
Not saying they are better than Pittsburgh or Philly, just saying that Suzuki was playing like a "star" in those series, outplayed Crosby, Malkin, Giroux, etc.

Not every team in the league has someone who made the NHL as a center at 18 years old, Kotkaniemi had better rookie seasons than Dach, Hughes, etc... he had a down year and bounced back in playoffs, so the potential has always been there.

Not every team has the guy who broke Phil Kessel's goal scoring record with USNDT or Ovechkins U18 IIHF tournament goal scoring record like Caufield did. He was also better than Turcotte with Wisconsin, and Turcotte was a 5th overall pick.

Not every team has a player who was WJC top defenseman and made the 1st all star team in back to back years.

I'm not trying to say that all of these guys are going to be stars, I'm just saying they have some real potential there and now they've insulated everyone with good wingers, good size (up front and on defense) and there cap situation still has them set up to resign UFA's and pay the young guys.
