Happens all the time, for more proven players than PLD.

feed me some examples...please

Trouba, Fox… same playbook here by the GM who pulled off those deals

Playbook = identify asset who will only play for 1-team thus negating all leverage from opposing GM

 

[GEEMAN]

Hughes has already stated he’s willing to trade 2024 1st but 2023 is off limits

top 22 protected in 2024

those were video game deals

Letting my mind wander further to Mike Johnson’s quote:

Petry for rights to Klingberg and negotiation of deal holding things up?

 

[GEEMAN]

That would mean Dvorak (manageable AAV) + Poehling (since Jets like Minny boys) + Dman prospects (Winter-peg desperately needs)

No high cap hits going back to Jets as they’re looking for young players / prospects and trying to jettison contracts

Nice player but team cant go overboard to bring in a 55-60 point player

How stupid a contract are you going to give him to bypass free agency ?

Klingberg for 4-5 years , if its 8 FO

$7.5M / 8-years

 

[Sal_Butera]

The elephant in the room, what if HuGo know Price will never play again - permanent LTIR, that opens up $10M

They have to retain key RFA`s first , Klingberg is gone

They can pivot to Petry later when they settle with Robertson and others , if money is available

 

[Sal_Butera]

$8M / 6-years bonus heavy

 

[GEEMAN]

$7.5M / 8-years

no bueno

 

[GEEMAN]

$8M / 6-years bonus heavy

ridiculous

31 will never be the same , its a given

However , the foundation pieces are just staring to settle in and maybe Slaf turns into a star

Your doing the Nero patch to futility again with a 30 year old Klingberg

WTF are we a Klingberg away from ....... absolutely nothing

This is Weber 2.0 with a worse roster

Team has no D , goaltending and half this roster is dog shit

Build a competitive base then go fill some spots with cap space

PLD is a fine add , only at the right trade price and contract

 

[lecoqsportif]

Klingberg is way too old.

 

[GEEMAN]

Klingberg is way too old.

Exactly.....lets see what Harris, Guehle , Barron , Mailloux deliver before handing out stupid money

A short 2 year deal to fill a veteran gap is fine but not term

It's bad business operating in LTIR. It'll burn you.

They have to ice a team.
