Seems suspiciously predictable. The kind of offer you'd read fans making. I don't trust Dreger.

Of course it is predictable. Winnipeg wants roster players. They AREN"T getting Dach. That would be a ridiculous sideways move for HuGo. Anderson, Dvorak, Hoffman, Armia are the only possibilities then.

I'd have a good laugh if Dubois squashed the deal because he doesn't want to sign long term in LA. Not because I'm counting on him coming to Montreal or even want to give up the peices and cap space to get him. More just to laugh at those obnoxious Jets fans who have been pretty vocal since this whole thing began.

Or even better, if Winnipeg has to choose between having an unhappy PLD in the line up until the TDL or accepting the equivalent of an offer sheet from LA as a rental for him and accepting the Montreal '24 2nd from LA. At that point he may be available for the Florida 1st by itself lol. All hinges on his contract demands, and how much Blake is willing to bend over in the negotiations.
 
I suspect the trade holdout is whether Dubois is willing to sign in LA. If he's not, the deal could fall through. Trade is announced the moment the ink hits the paper.

Yeah Dach is not on the table, that's for certain. No wonder WPG told Hughes to kick rocks.

Shame about Dvorak though, he has a NTC that kicks in soon I think.

HuGo are slowly changing the dynamic of the negotiation is how I see it. Unless Chevaldayof is 100% sure PLD is willing to sign a longterm deal w LAK, or they’re ok w acquiring him for 1-year he’s playing a very dangerous game IMO

I'm thinking PLD still wants to be a UFA next summer and wants a 1 year deal with LA

PLD gave a list of teams he was willing to sign long term, and presumably the $ he was looking for. If LAK was on that list (and I presume they were), I can't see why he would turn back. If he does that, that would tell a lot about him...

LA built their cup teams mostly through the draft and since then they have been following the same plan, accumulating a lot of good young assets. They have a surplus of good young players to make big trades. I think they are a good model for the Habs.

Also, IF HuGo are "out" of the game.... Why is LAK even entertaining giving up good assets to the Jets? I mean, there's only one team left then, right? Isn't that as awful an outcome for the Jets when you can't even shop the guy?

I would not presume either of those things. He has the easiest negotiating position of all the parties involved, which is: fulfill the minimum requirements. Jets wants a list, here is a list. He is not obligated to provide any further information.

If after all the "framework discussions" he's presented with an offer he doesn't like, he doesn't sign. There's a lot that goes into that type of contract and he might have a different figure and conditions depending on the team. Why he would he supply that info?

All he has to do is sit tight and do nothing.... if he wants to come here.
