Confirmed with Link: PLD to the Kings for Iafallo, Vilardi, Kupari and a 2nd in 2024 (orig Mtl’s pick)

[Tom ServoMST3K]

I will forever be a Laine-stan, but he isn't getting this kind of haul from another NHL team. This makes that trade waaay more reasonable in hindsight for me.

 

[Buffdog]

But it happened every season. He sucked in his first season with the Jets where he was so bad that he was at times playing on the 4th line by the end. Started off hot but again faded down the stretch in his 2nd season and did the same last season. It's just happened too many times for my liking (not to mention the stuff in Columbus, which I admit is the lens through which I see all things PLD).

His first season it was a groin

If anything, maybe durability is an issue

We are doing an Illegal Curve Trade Show at 9 PM this evening to discuss the trade. Hope everyone will attend.

Join us here.

Well well, quite the haul. Usually quantity for quality doesn't work. Let's hope we avoid that misfortune.

 

[Dominance]

Really, really good trade for the Jets in a tough situation.

Kupari has very real top-6 upside. Iafallo is already there, although in more of a middle-6 way. Vilardi is primed to absolutely explode - he was a sure-fire top-5 pick in 2017 if not for his injury woes, which will always remain a concern, but he has legitimately elite boom potential that would compliment Perfetti extremely well. All that, and the Montreal 2024 second is for all intents and purposes a late first-round pick.

Would love to see lineup projections for next year here.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Heck of a haul for Dubois. When Chevy makes trades, he makes good ones

Now on to wheels helle and Scheif and others

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

A little surprised to see Kings fans so down on this deal.

think that's going to have to wait until after we move scheif/helle

Listen Chevy,
I got Dvorak
I got ....

 

[Guffman]

Just thinking about line-ups with these additions (and Wheeler removal)

Connor-Scheifele-Ehlers
Niedereiter-Vilardi-Perfetti
Iafallo-Lowry-Appleton
Barron-Kupari-Stenlund

Not bad! Now, I wonder what happens if we trade Scheifele. Perfetti and Vilardi as top 6 centers?

I had proposed Dubois to Boston for Swayman and Lysell. Maybe we do that for Scheifele... perhaps at 50% retention (to further help Boston's salary cap) and add that 2025 first rounder?

Then, whatever we get for Hellebuyck is gravy (1st round draft pick for this draft + something?)

With no Scheifele...

Connor-Vilardi-Niedereiter
Iafallo-Perfetti-Ehlers
Barron-Lowry-Appleton
XXX-Kupari-Stenlund

Hmm... I guess this is early. Just fun to speculate with three forwards coming back and plugging them in.

 

[howkie]

I think this was the best haul he could get, since he did not want futures. But In happy we got value insted of habs shit stuff..

A little surprised to see Kings fans so down on this deal.

I think a lot of it is from Habs fans shitting on Dubois for the past few days. They've drowned out a lot of the reasonable takes.

And folks here want to move on from chevy lol...we'd hear nothing but bitching until we hired a gm as good as him lol

 

[Mud Turtle]

What? Is this real?! AND we got a 2nd round draft pick as well??? And Harkins stays?
Holy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think this is beyond the hopes of anyone here as of a few months ago.

I always said between his drafting and trades he does a great job. I was quite disappointed in how long he kept Maurice when this team had a window to be great. It was his job to cut that off sooner.

I agree with that

I have been taking My annual summer off from HFJets...

Just reading posts and liking here and there...

It's time to speak up...

I have got to hand it to Chevy... Vilardi is a real deal emerging player in the NHL... Iafallo is a player who can play a solid role as 3rd line player who plays 200ft... Kupari is young, underutilized and will now get a chance to develop at the NHL level...

The 2nd Round draft pick from LA via Montreal is pure F'n karma...

After observing the shit-show from the Montreal fan base on HF like forever... the added 2nd Round pick via Montreal almost seems like a gift to HFJets fans from Chevy and the LA Kings... "Chevy: "Hey Blake'r... how about thowin' in that 2nd Rounder from Montreal? "... Rob Blake: "Chevy... how could I deny you that... that's a great F'n idea... I always loved tarring the asses of the Habs and their fans... done deal... Lol Chevy you're a comedian! "....

Further... I hope Dubois finally plays to his potential and does ok... except when he plays our Jets... when he was first traded here I was excited as I had watched him single handedly dismantle the Leafs in the playoffs... Dubois has that potential... I wish him the best in LA...

Looking forward towards Chevy's upcoming moves with Wheeler, Helle' and Chef...

Really looking forward to tomorrow and Thursday's draft days for the Jets...

........
Go Jets Go !!!

[Ossific]

AHAHAHAHA we got Vilardi (with 3 years of control), Iafalo with 2 years and Kupari (3 years of control?) AND a second round pick for 1 year of PLD? AHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Mud Turtle]

Does anyone have Kupari’s points per 60 stats compared to some of our Jets? Or where can we find that stat? Thanks!!

Have you ever wondered maybe just maybe that Chipman would not let Chevy replace Maurice?

It’s a “Kings’ Ransom” for Dubois. Chuckle, chortle, guffaw…
