<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AZWings</b></div><div>It's not the player necessarily, it's the pay for performance.
PLD is $8.5M (until 2031!!) for 39 points.
Velano is $825k for 26 points.

Is PLD better? Sure. Not $7M better...</div></div>

I get that argument. I think the justification in this case is that A) Dubois has a higher ceiling and the ability to fill in when Larkin is injured, B) there is almost 2m in retention, C) Veleno is going to sign closer to 2m this offseason. Not exactly a 7m increase but the point is still valid that they have similar point totals.

You’re not wrong but maybe pld goes on a spiritual growth retreat this summer and runs into Yzerman there and yzerman is just blown away by his readiness to make a change in his personal and professional attitude

You can't just place 3 players on LTIR if you can't prove they're injured. 🙄

At least Vegas did that.</div></div>

Ras and berggren are good players but I’d rather squeeze value out of them while it’s possible and get a position needed in this team.

Because none of the current centers on the team are really suitable for 2c on a playoff team.

Can’t see any of those centers as 2C on a playoff team. I’m no pro scout I believe I’ve heard a lot of praise for Jenner from former NHL players.

If Yzerman really wants to speed up the rebuild and take on the contract before the tdl then this it’s a decent deal, but with sandin pelikka hopefully coming over soon, the contract may be too big. Love me some Michigan boys tho

Obv this comes as a contract renegotiation after his contract with Detroit is terminated. I think Boston actually would get some value out of him with Zacha and Pasta. Hopefully pasta could show him the ways

Agreed, I think it works out well for everyone, but totally understand SJ fans that don’t want to move 4OA without a kings ransom.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SK101</b></div><div>If I’m SJ I definitely want detroits first in 24 rather than Boston. Wings were a bottom 5 team after the trade deadline and will be awful next year unless they bring in lots of talent</div></div>

Pick to SJ has always been DET. The questions is what’s more valuable, 17 this year or unprotected DET pick next year.
