Guest Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I wonder if Jets could sign him to a 1 year extension, retain half and trade him to LA Kings. Then LA immediately signs him to a long term extension. LA has a major cap crunch this year, but will have more money freed up next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm mostly worried about Edmonton and LA long term. It's why Allvin should be conservative going into next year. Let's steady the ship and make a lot of draft picks without commiting too much money long term other then Petey and Hronek. Kopitar, Danault, and Doughty are still the most important LA players and they're 35, 30, and 33 respectively. Them getting PLD would make our division much harder over the next 7-8 years.

Players on a 1-year deal can only be extended 6 months ahead of time. If he signs for 1 year, the Kings can only negotiate the extension on 1 January. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilduce39 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I love PLD to the Kings just to spite the cocky Habs fans pencilling him onto their roster. The obnoxiously casual “We’ll take him but not giving anything good up because he’s signing here anyways.” Losers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure they’ll find a goaltender in the free market or a trade for someone like Ullmark or Hart. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aGENT Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, eeeeergh said: My god we are so screwed Vegas LA seattle edmonton at least Calgary is gonna stink Not suggesting a cake walk or anything here but... Vegas may have just won a cup (and good for them) but a lot of key contributors on that club are in their 30's, they're always dancing around cap issues, and bleeding depth and futures etc... When they fall, they're going to fall hard. Until then though, they river boat gambled their way to at least one cup, so good on them! But not really a long term threat IMO. LA, still has two aging vets leading the charge on that team, when they drop off, there's a VERY high chance they regress to the "murky middle", even with their vaunted depth/youth (and especially if they keep spending that youth). Seattle is well positioned to keep incrementally improving, on an already good team, but they're also far from unbeatable. They feel a lot like the Hurricanes-West. Really well run, competitive team... That likely doesn't ever actually win, because they're too conservatively run to actually make the big/risky moves that put you over the top. Edmonton is finally starting to look like they might actually cobble together enough depth to actually contend under the cap, but are always going to struggle there, with multiple high priced contracts eating up vast swaths of cap. And they still need a goalie. Tick tock... Can they keep it all together and build a deep enough team AND keep it together... We'll see. Yeah... Good teams. Won't be easy (nor should competing for a cup ever be). But none of those are unbeatable... Particularly in 3+ years.

grandmaster Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 PLD will be a huge mistake for anyone getting him. If reports are true that he wants around 9.5M per or 8 years then that is a huge overpay. The guy never seems to get along with his teams or teammates as well. Being shuffled as many times as he has in his short career is indicative of potential locker room issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re actually a perfect example of rebuild on the fly if you look at the youth coming up, and I’m sure they’ll have no issue getting Hart or Ullmark etc. for pennies on the dollar.
