Thread: Rebuild - Phase 2
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>There's only been rumours from Montreal media that PLD prefers Montreal, but from what PLD himself said, is that winning is the most important thing and that the Montreal rumours have been overblown by fans and media. So, if winning is the most important thing to him, then Montreal is out.

Winnipeg's leverage is that Dubois is an RFA and has no trade protection, so neither he nor Montreal have any control over where he is traded. Montreal will need to have the best offer to win.

The only roster player that Montreal has that might have a chance at being moved and being of any interest to Winnipeg is Dach. So, that's where the deal falls through I imagine.</div></div>

This all should make for an exciting game of chicken this offseason!

Thread: Rebuild - Phase 2
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>Considering Montreal has no leverage in the deal, it would need to be similar to the Horvat or Meier deals.

So, Florida's 23 1st and Beck plus a roster player and a little more for the extra year. The problem is if Winnipeg wants a roster player back that any roster players Winnipeg would want, Montreal won't want to trade.

The most likely scenario is that PLD is traded to a US based team where he is willing to extend if he won't extend in Winnipeg.</div></div>

Interesting that you say MTL has no leverage. Based on the MTL media and insiders like EF have stated that PLD prefers to head to MTL. What are you hearing that would give WPG leverage in the discussions?

I agree WPG wants a roster players. In your opinion, what type of roster player would they be looking for in a trade?

Thread: Testing Market Value
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PuckLuck_77</b></div><div>I think Vilardi could be a good 2C, with time and the right linemates. I'd be shocked if teams weren't calling Blake about him. LA threw him to the wolves a year ago as their defacto 2C when they had no center depth. He did fine offensively, but his legs and defensive game needed significant work. Since Danault and Byfield have been brought in, the Kings thought it best to move Gabe to the wing, which is where he's been this season. He takes a ton of faceoffs still (whenever Byfield gets kicked out, or the faceoff is on Vilardi's strong side).

As far as Montreal targets, I have no idea. Being a Kings fan I haven't looked into possible center options, as it's the last thing the Kings need more of.</div></div>

Your thoughts line up with my assessment of Vilardi. With a large wealth of talent in young prospects, this is a great problem for LA Kings fans to have.

Where do you see Turcotte fitting in long term?

Thread: Future Consideration - Info Wanted
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ricochetii</b></div><div>To my understanding. There is no official documentation I'm aware of which is publically accessible.

Future considerations is basically "something of inderterminate value at a later date".
You can't technically "give away" or "sell" a player for $0. There has to be a legal transaction through either trade, waivers, or loan.
Delaying the return value on a trade and wrapping it in a subsequent deal is a way around it.

It allows players to be moved that have little value, without risking conditional picks.
You can also make trades when you can't quite come to an agreement in time but need the trade completed asap (such as at the deadline).
It can also act as an IOU. One team provides a player to help another and the favor can be returned down the road.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Timmah007</b></div><div>Think it’s just words to fill in the other side of a trade when giving away a player. Nothing ever seems to come from it.</div></div>

Your replies add to my point, there seems to be no firm/clear understanding or interpretation of what is officially in the CBA regarding this matter.

Thanks for responding. Hopefully someone out there can shed some light on this.
