Thread: Canadiens 22-23
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>I purposely didn't mention the cap commitment because I literally said Anderson wouldn't waive for Winnipeg especially in a trade for his good friend PLD. Also I said that Winnipeg probably wouldn't accept the original offer anyway but would be looking for a return similar to the Tkachuk trade. Dvorak to replace PLD at center, Drouin to help offset the points and as a potential rental who may resign with high end skill and a protected 1st.

The deal isn't far off jin value ust the peices are wrong for the Jets</div></div>

So what you're saying is if Anderson waived (because this is all hypothetical), Winnipeg doesn't accept because it's not good enough. Just like what I am saying. Except the deal is far off because you refuse to acknowledge that the cap and term are the biggest issues with the return.

Obviously in this mock scenario, Anderson has waived otherwise why is this even a discussion?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>habs_need_Scoring</b></div><div>And i'm saying in this situation no one else has less leverage then him. he can wait and also run the risk of being left with an injured dubois at the deadline, or being half into a playoff run and not wanting to rent out one of his key players even though he's going to walk. Time brings risk that only fall on his side of the equation.</div></div>

The issue is that MTL isn’t the only team that would be in the mix to trade for PLD. Sure MTL can wait till 2024 and take their shot then. Best case scenario for the jets is to keep Dubois for the year and go on a playoff run and move him next summer after a big year, so that would be no concern at all. You have to remember what Andrew Copp fetched as a rental at the TDL and he walked. A team is going to pay more than what MTL fans have been offering for 2 years of Dubois at the TDL.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Just_A_Guess</b></div><div>Correct, MTL won't move Suzuki for him. No other team is going to move a player of Suzuki's caliber for PLD either because that's a lateral move that doesn't help the team trading for him. That's just being stubborn, not really leverage. If a GM is dumb enough to trade an equal player ++ then let em have it because that's just a dumb move. PLD has plenty of value and most proposals have been absolute trash but the guys isn't going to return the moon...</div></div>

Completely get why MTL isn’t moving Suzuki for PLD, I wouldn’t either. I just said that Chevy won’t budge on his asking price because he doesn’t owe PLD or Montreal anything. I just was voicing that a lot of fans get their judgement clouded by excitement and overreaction. Which is totally true, I wanted to see mark scheifele sent to the moon after his exit media availability and now I don’t feel that way at all.

I just think that fans on both sides of the PLD and MTL situation need to temper their expectations. MTL isn’t going to be able to pluck PLD away for cheap, and Winnipeg isn’t going to return a Caufield or Suzuki. But I can guarantee that there will be a team who’s desperate at the TDL looking to go on a deep run that will pay the price Chevy is asking.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hwjw</b></div><div>Copp just got a prospect, and two seconds (one turned into a first) at the deadline. You don’t think some team trying to contend would give up a haul for two guaranteed years of PLD? The fact that MTL fans still think we’re taking their cap dumps, their B prospects and a late first is exhausting and frankly embarrassing.</div></div>

People get their judgment clouded by excitement and overreacting to situations. This whole PLD and MTL craze is all being stirred up by an agent and the media. What you literally just pointed out, which was the return in the Copp trade says all that needs to be said. PLD is going to bring back a solid haul at the TDL to a desperate contender trying to get over the hump. MTL fans just aren’t seeing the full picture here, they just hear what the media says and immediately jump to the fact that MTL will get PLD for 50 cents on the dollar. PLD will be a hot commodity at this years TDL. While we’re at it, half the jets roster could be lol. Who knows what happens with the squad by that point. The thing MTL fans are missing is that Chevy isn’t budging on his ask for a player MTL won’t want to give up.
