I wouldn't be terribly upset trading away Dvorak+FLA 1st for PLD, but ideally, we include another pick/prospect for them to take on Hoffman at 50% at the very least. Unless we sign a center that can play on the 3rd line for cheap, we need a 3C.
The 3C would be Dach. We have depth at wings over our heads. It won't be a punishing line for Dach playing 3rd line duty. Spread the talent on 3 lines.

But some games the PLD line could be quoted as the 3rd line, depending on the duty.

I read an interesting article about Montreal and Dubois. This Summer the most Winnipeg gets for him is a first and a third because Montreal can give him a 6.3 million dollar offer sheet for one year with the nudge nudge wink wink 8X8 extension. He signs and the Jets get that return. If they don't match. If they match, the Jets can not trade him next year and he becomes a UFA next year.

Maybe I am hallucinating but I just watched a shift where he was going at half speed. He wasn't engaged at all. Is he hurt?

He was somewhat freshly back from an injury, so maybe

Just had a 2 on 1, got robbed/shot it back. Calgary went down and scored. PLD got involved in a scrum afterwards, so it will be interesting to see how engaged he is afterwards

Missed the 1st.

That one shift has to be a one off because he is in beast mode. Good to see. He can be a force.

In watch the Cal-Jets game a bit and I find the Jets a big team but kindda slow. They doesn't generate much imaginative offense. They are the Jets and not the Avs, the Bolts, the Canes or the Bruins.

I'll take Dach over PLD.

In the off-season:

Florida's 2023 1st + Harris + 2024 3rd

Dubois - Suzuki - Caufield

This would be and incredible 1st line.
Yeah but how about the other lines. You have the all in one line expectations when I tend to spread talent on 3 lines to have an overall better team. Having talent on each line helps youngs developpment. I don't think having Dvorak or Evans helps young player gaining experience and confidence.
