<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SCGLisme2</b></div><div>Better yet they lose PLD for nothing next season but I do agree there is no trading going on between these two teams!
None of these trades are happening.</div></div>

Ok First off, after THIS season PLD, is a RFA....He also stated to the Jets Management that he would not sign a long term extension as he intends to test free agency as a UFA. HOWEVER, in order for him to do that he will need to sign a 1 year deal (Most likely with the jets) to obtain his UFA Status. OR Jets trade his rights away in the OFFSEASON, they wont trade him NOW, as they are most likely headed for post season. Jets wont be sellers they will try to add pieces, trading Dubois NOW for picks and prospects only hurts the team. IF he is traded in the offseason, WHOEVER trades for him would have to try and convince him to sign an extension, which he clearly stated he does not want to do, and sign him for 1 year, thus giving up picks and prospects for a guy to walk in 1 year. IF I am the Habs no deal is done UNLESS an extension is signed. (Personally I dont want him on the team, also I think he is looking for his pay day, and some American team with less taxes is where he will go).....Just my thoughts. So all depends if PLD was serious about going to UFA, or just told that to the Jets because he doesnt want to play in Winnipeg.

Thread: Dallas gets a good playoff guy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>Josh Anderson's playoff career: 43 GP, 8-6-14, put up a 5-1-6 in 22 GP during Montreal's Cup run in 2021

Radek Faksa's playoff career: 52 GP, 7-9-16, put up a 3-5-8 in 19 GP durin Dallas' Cup run in 2020

but sure, Dallas adds Kyrou and a pair of picks for that big gap in playoff productivity</div></div>

I'll do you one better. He only scored in 3 out of the 22 games he played.
He had a 1 goal game in a 2-1 win against Toronto. He had a 2 goal game in 3-2 OT wins over Vegas and Tampa.
That's it. <strong>Except</strong> those are 3 wins where he was a difference maker, including 2 OT winners.

If you want to reduce it to just numbers:
It takes 16 wins to get the cup and $82.5M to do it with.
Each win costs 82.5M/16 = $5.15M.
Anderson was directly responsible for 2 and half credit of a 3rd win.
2.5/16 = 15.625%
15.625% of an $82.5M cap = $12.89M
So he provided $12.89M worth of wins with a $5.5M cap hit.

All those numbers mean exactly bupkiss.
What matters is that he's a player who has the potential to get it done when noone else can and help you get wins in the playoffs where size, speed, strength, and grit are perceived as critical to a team's success.

Thread: Depth 4 Depth
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>It cost Calgary a 1st to dump Monahan just a few months ago. Cannot imagine his value has changed all that much.

So let’s start with what the market is actually paying:

Monahan + 2025 1st round pick (CGY) = 0
Severson = late 1st, 3rd
Wideman = 3rd

By my math…
Monahan, Wideman + two 1sts = Severson</div></div>

I can't fault your Math, but I challenge your logic.

Nobody knew where Monahan was at in his rehabilitation, which is why Calgary paid to dump him. He had been severely injured for 2 seasons. To everyone's surprise he IS healthy and is playing amazing and producing on a mediocre team at a 0.67 PPG pace.

Put aside the trade value from the offseason when his status was uncertain and accept that he is healthy again and he becomes a very valuable player.
