Thread: Round 1 WPG vs VGK Lines Analysis and Prediction
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>njlaforte</b></div><div>Well... the forwards played like the first 45 games of the season and Helle bailed them out on a few slot chances, but overall one of the best games this team has played in their existence. The team defence gave Helle a somewhat easy game, and they just dominated Vegas for the full 60 minutes. If they can keep this up then they can beat any team in the playoffs. That was sheer domination by the Jets last night.</div></div>

good thing it was Amadio and Howden with those chances...lol

Bucky played solid and the Jets other 19 players were solid to a player imo, the top line were dominant and the third line was really good once again

Cant wait for Ehlers and Perfetti to come in and thats a solid lineup

Thread: The Rebuild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>We paid a first for Gavrikov because he brought a starting goalie with him.

Plus, you have to remember that having traded that first for him, that 2023 second is now our first pick in this year's draft.</div></div>

I get he's been lights out for 8 games but let's be real Korpisalo had very little value at the deadline and the only reason he was traded and is now the starter is because a career .904, 37 game career high backup goalie was somehow the least bad option for the Kings to roll the dice on. You didn't pay for a starting goaltender. You payed the first for Gavrikov (who by all indications has been worth it thus far) and to dump Quick. Korpisalo was a gamble that has (for the moment) payed off.

Thread: PLD Homecoming
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ste_Catherine_Street</b></div><div>Not necessarily. If PLD is really believed to be waiting for UFA, what teams would give up something like that for a 1yr rental?
Forget the fact its the Habs, but just focussing on a 1 yr rental, I am not sure what teams would wanna dance to this deal.</div></div>

The only people who believe PLD will only sign with Montreal are Montreal fans believing in the fantasy. It's just not realistic.

First, It's unlikely that the Jets trade him to a team where he isn't willing to extend, so that will raise his price.

Second, you're offering less than teams give up for many players as pure rentals at the TDL. Dubois would be coming with a full year in addition to that normal rental time so his price would be higher.

Which is why 29 other teams would beat this offer, they know they can easily get the same or more back at the TDL, if theyhave to turn around and trade PLD.

In fact Winnipeg would know they can easily get more at the TDL, so they just keep him until then in the worst case.

This offer just wouldn't get a call back from Chevy, it just isn't close to being competitive to theother offers Winnipeg would have.
