Sometimes I wonder what's wrong with people
.
You’re also talking about a player who has all but refused to play another game for the Jets and limited the number of teams he’s willing to extend with. He’s also a player that , fairly or not, has gotten a reputation of quitting on his team.
The funny thing about your argument regarding Becks development curve is that he has already played in an nhl regular season game. He was called up on an emergency basis this year and did not look at all out of place. He won’t be winning a spot this year. But he’s likely much closer to being a full time NHL’er than you’re giving credit for.Lol I never said anything about competing. Maybe in managements wildest dreams but our fans know reality unlike yours lol. The core is being retooled, we still need professional level players to come in and ice a team that can play at the NHL level, of which neither Beck or Mesar are going to be capable of playing in the next 1-3 seasons like management wants. Beck and Mesar will not be playing AHL hockey until 24/25 and even then what will the development time be transitioning to pro hockey? The AHL is much higher level hockey than OHL in case you didn’t notice.
Maybe they turn out to be valuable, certainly not PLD valuable, but who knows. The Jets managed to make Pionk and Morgan Barron into some decent NHLers from their returns in those trades
Can’t wait for your next terrible straw man argument lol.
And if none of the teams he is interested in are offering 8 years? He is going to a team he doesn't want? 8 years is an ask, that is all, as much fact as the reported 9M. All speculation till something is actually signed.
Why wouldn't a team want 8 years? It spans his prime perfectly and the term drives down the AAV
He will make them less non-competitive tho
I guess but tbh they'd be better off sticking to their plan and being mediocre/bad bc they'll continue to draft high the next few years. The worst thing you can do is situate yourself in no man's land where you miss the playoffs (which they definitely will, with or w/o PLD) but don't draft high. That's stuff of nightmares.
An 8 year contract till age 33 for a player with a career high 63 points is a cap dump waiting to happen, not an advantage. Preferable to pay a bit more now and be rid of him if you want at age 30 than have him giving Dvorak level production in the last 3 or 4 years.of an 8 year deal.
I don’t think Barron is an untouchable but he would certainly be hard to part with since Montreal doesn’t have anything on the right side except for Barron right now with Mailloux coming up at some point.Justin Barron? Off limits. Logan Mailloux? Off limits. Owen Beck? Maybe, but he's like a top 20 pick himself, so take out everything else of value.
Murat had literally just came off a vacation and was speculating Dach is (rightly) untouchable. He hasn't actually heard anything other than what we've all heard and assume that Dach isn't available. Great writer of Jets content but he has no inside information on the Jets, let alone the Habs.
I don't think it even needs to be stated Caufield and Suzuki aren't going anywhere
Plenty of us have said Florida's 1st + Barron + would work, but apparently Barron is untouchable too.
He actually does, you could explain it to him why it doesn't, but I don't think you have the crayons.
1st+Barron would also mean that Dubois has similar value to Lehkonen.
You do realize the Habs just signed Nick Suzuki to an 8 year contract til age 31 and has a lower career high? He is a cap dump waiting to happen, too?
I think the Kings would trade Byfield for PLD. I can see that happening as a Kings fan.
Glad you recognize that Suzuki isn't a legit 1C.
I concur.
Yeah either is pld. We'll take him at a discount or not at allGlad you recognize that Suzuki isn't a legit 1C.
I concur.
