I said it earlier in the thread - the Jets got more for Copp at this year's trade deadline than the Montreal offers right now (for the most part). If the offer is what these boards are proposing, they'll get more at the 2024 deadline than they would now.
Also, Dreger has reported that the Jets won't trade Dubois this year unless it's a great offer. Dvorak as the main piece doesn't really do that. Sure he could take off as a winger on a good team, but he'd be playing C here as the Jets C depth right now if Dubois goes is Scheifele and Adam Lowry.
Part of the reason the Jets got more for Copp is because of conditions that were met by the Rangers.
That said, that doesn't mean PLD is worth what some have offered.
The difficulty with dealing with the Habs and Montreal fans won't admit this, is there isn't an asset that the Jets want and Montreal is willing to part with.
Jets would like a Caufiled, 1st overall, Suzuki coming back and those are pretty much the 3 assets Montreal doesn't want to give up.
1st overall is a 1st overall and these don't get moved.
Caufield a young, promising goal scorer.
Suzuki, a very good centre, young, locked up and has shown he plays well in the playoffs.
Now, after that there's Anderson that some hab fans want to move and others don't. I'm sure there are Jets fans who would like him and who wouldn't touch him.
Petry ? Probably not interested in playing with Canada anymore unless the covid restrictions stay relaxed.
Dvorak ? Lead the Habs in faceoff winning percent at 56, which is pretty damn good and was on pace to set career highs had he played a full season and he's signed to a nice contract, but that's still a downgrade from PLD to him, so it depends on the add from the Habs.
Calgary's 1st, 26th overall I think? Does it need to be more, like a Kaiden Guhle ? Hab fans love him and I don't think anyone would be willing to give him up.
There's too much of a gap and I don't think Winnipeg wants 3, or 4 good pieces, like a Dvorak, 26th, prospect (let's say Mysak) and a 2nd in 2023.
Jets keep him, see if his mind changes and deal him next off season is my guess.
