Friedman: Jets are not rebuilding, want NHL players back if they trade core pieces

Chevy is grinding on Hughes to get him. He just needs to squeeze him a bit more, add pressure of possibly trading him elsewhere, and Hughes may just pull the trigger for the marketing bonanza.

Just a feelin’!
I certainly hope Hughes is not that stupid but we never know! Would be a very solid catch for Winnipeg too.
Yeah, no way Dach will be traded for Dubois, unless they don't believe in his ability to play center.
Even so, I don’t think Dach is moving. If Winnipeg want a center back we can offer Dvorak or Evans (less likely) or Beck (most likely).
 
The Rangers specifically? No. That region of the US? Yes. It was well documented that his fiancee was entering her medical residency and that it would not be possible in Canada due to her birth nation or some silliness about residency rules here, and that she was aiming for the Northeastern US.

Jim Rutherford was the GM of the Penguins at the time and said that he made an offer that beat what the Rangers traded for Trouba, but he was told it was New York only for Trouba.
Well to be more specific, her medical degree ( not a real doctor) is only recognized in the US, not anywhere else in the world.
 
You want NHL caliber players?

Dubois

for

Dvorak
Harris
Florida 1st
Not enough for Dubois because at the trade deadline they can have more for him as a rental.
For Tyler Bertuzzi Boston give a 3rd and a 1st. Dubois will have at least this value.
Harris don't worth a 1st
Dvorak don't worth a 1st
Replace florida 1st for Montréal 2025 1st and deal done

Anyone that thinks that Dubois is going to automatically resign with the team that trades for him as you said is just being naive when he's claimed he wants to test the UFA market.

I don’t recall Dubois or his agent say that they want to test the UFA market. Are you making this up or do you have a source?
 
Yeah, no way Dach will be traded for Dubois, unless they don't believe in his ability to play center.
Didn’t the Habs give up 13OA for Dach then play him at wing with Suzuki? If Dach is the piece to get Dubois the Habs have to take that and run. PLD is a proven big time centre who would be perfect to play behind Suzuki in the 2C spot. Dach us still a maybe.
 
Everything is staring to make sense with how things unfolded last season. Habs made their play after missing out on PLD with the Dach trade and were fortunate in Dach's progression last season.

It will be interesting to see what the offers are from other teams for PLD. In the case of win-now players vs futures, it really opens up the market for all contenders to bid on PLD with win-now players in return..


I find it interesting how few Jets fans get it...

I think trades for PLD need to pivot away from the likes of 1st + Newhook and Dvorak + Mesar etc.... to:

Win-Now player(s) for PLD.
I find it interesting how obsessed you are about a player you Apparently don’t really care for and don’t have much value for. Every PLD thread you are there with post after post. You must be in The hundreds of post over the last year. This isn’t even a PLD thread until you and the Habs faithful turned it into a PLD thread like you guys do every time.

A 3C (which the Jets already have), an LHD (which the Jets have a glut of), and a super late 1st round pick?

Do you really think that package is enough to land Dubois? Do you really think that Winnipeg would be interested in that?

Why even throw that slop out there?

Okay...you are right. We will comfortably wait another season and get him for free.

Cheers!

Dach played C in the second half of the season and had quite the progression. He was very noticeable on the ice. The kind of progression you want to see from a 6’4 21 years old center
 
Thats all well and good except your GM can't even phone his agent legally until July 1st. So if that is happening then there is a serious breach of the CBA happening.
It’s not serious, no one cares about tampering. They know it happens and their only course of action to stop it was to make it legal with a “FA Negotiation Period“.

But the habs don't need dubois, that's the thing, why give up possible core piece for somebody thats just a luxury
 
Too much , switch the first for a second

Would it be asking too much to have you guys leave the thread if you’re just going to troll with unrealistic proposals or is this where your hockey acumen has developed into?

If the latter… LOL.

Hey im just looking for a proper fleecing of a team thats working from a position of weakness don't blame me I smell blood
 
Didn't the habs finish 6th last this year? They need as many good players as they can get.

Habs fans are so "in" on the rebuild, it's almost like they never want it to actually end
Sorry this is our first time rebuilding can you let us collect top 10 picks for a few years just like you guys did to ever be somewhat relevant in the first place. Its only fair that we get to rebuild too no?

Or do we have to make a dumb short sighted move just because PLD has a french last name?
 
Maybe.

Just saying… don’t offer slop that can easily be beaten by a rental trade.
Who will pay the rental price knowing that he plans to walk for Montreal in the Summer of '24?

Dvorak is a serviceable 3C, Harris is a decent defencemen with top 4 potential and the 31st pick is a mystery box that could be anything.

If what Chevy wants is pieces, these aren't bad pieces. I think futures is better personally. But oh well.

Possible core piece for a for sure core piece. That’s exactly why the Habs would be foolish not to make that deal.
