Tkatchuk pulling a PLD, but it's seen as a good thing
Tkatchuk pulling a PLD, but it's seen as a good thing
If I recall Bogosian also said he asked to be traded for a couple years when he finally got traded to Buffalo lolCheveldayoff is also a very patient GM.
He's had a few players that asked to be traded and it took years before he moved them.
Evander Kane has said he asked a trade every summer for a few years before he was finally traded.
Trouba didn't want to stay. He even held out until he signed in November a 2-year deal that took him to UFA. He was traded the year after to the Rangers. He's another example of a Jets player who only wanted to go to one team.
Laine also wanted out long before he was traded.
So Cheveldayoff is not a GM who is impatient.
In before we get told it's notThis just shows the double standard when it comes to the Habs.
It's literally the EXACT same situation.

But yes you are right he is a slow poke....
Chevy is in no rush and the Habs have zero reason to rush so that is why no deal is going to happen any time soon

No apparently it's only a handful of teams, no difference.Tkachuk isn't publicly saying he'll only go to one team and crippling the potential return his team could get.

It feels wierd that Tampa broke their bank for players like Hagel and Coleman for just 2 years of control....
I stated many times, if PLD gets his head out of his ass and sign a 2 year deal around 6 to 6,5 mil, he will by the TDL next spring be out of Winnipeg. PLD at 3 to 3,5 mil for 2 playoff runs.....
I think Jets rather want dead cap of PLD than a dead corpse like Hoffman for 2 seasons
This just shows the double standard when it comes to the Habs.

It was never reported Trouba was only interested in the Rangers. He wanted a move to the U.S. His wife works in Florida. He owns property in Florida.Cheveldayoff is also a very patient GM.

Wouldn't say he's crippling it judging by some of the expected returns we are reading.Tkachuk isn't publicly saying he'll only go to one team and crippling the potential return his team could get.
Pretty sure it was only nyIt was never reported Trouba was only interested in the Rangers. He wanted a move to the U.S. His wife works in Florida. He owns property in Florida.
And he will do it with PLD after this season I’m sureJeff Gorton wasn't afraid of making a trade for a player he could have signed as a free agent. The Rangers made the trade for Trouba. They could have waited for Trouba to become a free agent in 2020. Same thing with Adam Fox. The Rangers could have waited another year to sign Fox for nothing. He wanted Fox and traded two 2nd round picks for him in 2019 rather than waiting until August 2020(it would have been later that year because of Covid).

That was my point, if PLD can sign for 2 years and Jets sell him next trade deadline with full retention, it would be a cheap 2C for around 3,5 mil for 2 runs...Hagel, Coleman and Goodrow all had cheap contracts and would be on the team for 2 playoff runs.
(3 in Hagels case)
Not even close.
Tkachuk isn't willing to only go to one team and one team only. He's open to a handful of them.
This is also the 2nd time PLD has wanted out and hes not even 25 yet.
Laine never asked for a trade as far as I know. His agent stated that if the Jets weren't willing to play him with their best center, then they'd consider their options. Naturally that was taken out of context by this forum and spun to seem more dramatic.Cheveldayoff is also a very patient GM.

I agree on the rest. Chevy won't be bullied into accepting some lowball offer like many Habs fans are hoping for.
I don't see the Habs going after him at this point. They already acquired another center and they seem content to tank again next year. More likely they leaked this rumor about the trade offer to appease the fans that want all players from Quebec to play for the Habs. Case in point: this absurdly long thread.

So now it he Habs that leaked out this rumor.Laine never asked for a trade as far as I know.

An important tidbit for the Habs fans who treat hockey players as purely assets and have been on the 'just wait two years and get him for free train'. It's obviously not that simple:
Especially now, a long-term deal I could have a family, I could be in the last years of my career at that point. It’s not just what you want now, it’s what you want six years from now, five years from now, eight years from now. It’s not an easy decision to make,” Dubois said. “Everybody’s different, everybody has different motivations, everyone has different opinions of everything. It’s easy to judge people but, at the end of the day, we all have different mindsets in what is important to us and what is not.”
People have plans. What holds true now may not hold true in two years. Dubois can't necessarily put his life on hold for two years because you don't want the Canadiens to give up a couple of prospects or a couple of picks. If the Canadiens want him, they'll try as hard as they can to get him now.
