Speculation: PLD Mega Thread v5

[SM]

Extra crazy to think it would happen after they traded for a guy who's doing okay as a 2C, and drafted one who can easily be a 2C. How many 1C/2Cs do we need?!

Hedging bets is never a bad thing. Top line caliber centers don’t grow on trees, and as much as I’m excited for Perfetti, he’s not a sure thing by any stretch.

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

columbus should stay away from Laine.

they will keep the pattern alive of losing a top player pretty much every three years now like clockwork

 

[Vitto79]

Sergachev had like 3 games in the nhl before he was traded.
Also if Bergevin did not learn from this , he's beyond stupid.

watch him do it now w Romanov

 

[Lindys Lazy Eye]

Quote me on this: Laine will not be traded for PLD

This is either gonna age like pinot noir or skim.

 

[SRHRangers]

Three teams in on it = Bidding War.

CBJ has no leverage my tuchus.

PLD is a better all-around centre than Scheifele, who's a disaster defensively. If they get him he can take the tough matchups freeing up Scheifele.

Are we bringing Torts along with PLD?

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

It's almost tomorrow. I'm not going to bed until he's traded!

 

[sansabri]

don't tell me to go to bed. you're not my mom

 

[BatVader]

And 10 minutes after I go to bed.....

BREAKING TRADE NEWS....PLD TRADED TO....

Bite me... I’m waiting up

GM’s telling reporters enough texting me for tonight, I can’t get shit done!

 

[Bounces R Way]

A lot of chatter for a 60 point center. Guess everyone's just bored? He's really not that great.

I guess this is Chevy admitting that Little is never coming back. I wonder if his LTIR contract goes the other way.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

I could see something like

CLB: PLD
MTL: KK, Guhle/Caufield, and a 2nd

kind of similar to the Mike Richards trade afew years back

LETS GO BERGYYYYY!!!!!

 

[ducks8]

I'll say Sam Steel is one of the parties involved for ANA.

I'd give up Steel easily, for PLD

 

[robertocarlos]

Laine is likely gone out of Winnipeg in 2 years regardless... might as well get a needed asset in return

If he leaves I hope he gets his California wish.

 

[Critical13]

Scheifele-PLD would likely be ranked pretty high as C group, no?

That Matthews-Tavares, Point-Stamkos territory.

Perhaps the amount of chatter should have you reconsidering your assessment of the player's on-ice abilities.

Defensively average mid tier 1C

 

[Eggtimer]

I’m just glad the Rangers are not rumoured to be in PLD .
Devils fan here.
I would have thought they would be all over this. They have amazing wingers , D is looking decent with a few top end D prospects but are thin at C.

 

[mriswith]

If Anaheim were offering Zegras the deal would already be done.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Yup. Scheifele-PLD-Stastny-Lowry with Perfetti developing would probably be the best C depth in the league. We would be short on wingers though if Laine and Roslovic go. Vesalainen would need to step up big time.
