Thread: Next season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>Hoffman is a negative value asset and will cost a first to move.

Harris doesn't have much, if any, value league wide and no value to Winnipeg.

Beck is an average at best B level prospect.

Florida's first is pretty much a 2nd.

Trades don't work like that. It won't be a collection of pieces that you couldn't care less about losing because they don't have much value along with cap dumps and low value picks. It will cost Montreal something they don't want to lose.

Granted Montreal doesn't have much better that they can offer, so they probably won't be competitive with the other offers Winnipeg receives.

Why would Winnipeg accept a poor value offer when they easily get more?</div></div>

You're not wrong that this deal would be insufficient this summer UNLESS PLD tells the Jets that the only team he'll sign with long-term is MTL. If he indicates otherwise and 5-6 teams are encouraged to bid, there'll be a decently robust auction. That said, you are wrong about two things: Jordan Harris does have value league-wide at this point (though LHD is not a weakness in WPG) ; and Beck is no longer considered a "B" prospect. In his Draft+1 year, Beck was listed in THN's Future Watch Top 100 (#84) and has been in the 20s for most mock re-drafts of the '22 class. By scoring 16 points in 22 playoff games while centring the Pete's second line and handling PK duties, he has solidified his position as a rising prospect and a future NHLer.
