Player Discussion: PLD

[Mortimer Snerd]

One can only hope because if he is perfectly healthy and this is the best pld we got well than we need a 2c.

I'm not worried.

Players don't go from as good as he was at 20 to washed up at 22.

Are we talking about Laine or PLD haha

 

[Frendlygiant]

Wonder if he will even want to stick around here at this point.

 

[snowkiddin]

I don’t wish injuries on people but I actually HOPE PLD is hurt because he’s just completely invisible and useless. He needs to turn his game around because it’s looking like Chevy got taken to the cleaners on this trade

 

[Channelcat]

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out, guy was a completely different player in Columbus. You don't just magically become terrible.

I'm not convinced he was ever particularly good. Don't forget the Panarin factor.

 

[jonlin]

And Laine is any better ?..lol

Laine on Jets was heads and shoulders better than PLD on Jets. I`d say both teams lost this one. Jets lost more because they also gave Roslovic...

 

[JetsFan815]

Everyone who in February was predicting that he will supplant Scheifele as the Jets 1C by the end of the season- I am never trusting your predictions again.

 

[Guido Borsato]

Honest question: do you protect PLD in the expansion draft?

As it stands now, the 5 forwards that will be protected for sure are: Wheeler, Connor, Scheifele, Ehlers, Lowry.

That leaves you with 2 more forwards to protect out of this grouping of 4: PLD, Copp, Appleton, and Harkins.

Here is the rub: PLD is scheduled to earn 6.65M in actual salary next year! Which means if they decided to protect him in the expansion draft AND qualify him at the end of the 21-22 season he has to earn at least 6.65M (possibly 5% more than that, I'm not sure of the rule exactly).

This will be a real, meaningful discussion amongst the Jets' front office in the off-season.

Did you ever think it would come to this?

He’s a 22 year old Center, ridiculous to think he wouldn’t be protected.

 

[JetsUK]

Yep. And you also protect him, because you know exactly which injuries he’s been battling all year and you expect him to bounce back once fully healthy, and become the player you traded for.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

PLD
haha

There is a similarity, but Laine's success was very dependent on one aspect of his game. Much more so than PLD's.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Never mind Columbus, he was a completely different player with us at first, even though he was coming out of quarantine. Then he got hurt. Then he got hurt again.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

We traded Roslo for PLD, and Columbus won the trade.

Who did we get back for Laine?

A 3rd rd pick. In another year.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

I'm not convinced he was ever particularly good. Don't forget the Panarin factor.

There was no Panarin his last season with CBJ.

It hasn't come to this. No chance he is not protected. None.

 

[Artanis]

Was hoping to see a lot more out of PLD as a Sens fan.

Stay off of our boards Kraken spy!

 

[GJF]

Pretty underwhelmed by PLD ... I kind of chose to ignore his game for the last weeks... or months rather but you can't look away anymore when he needs to be our first line center which he is supposed to be able to be. One can only hope he is playing injured all along

Well, it's likely the end of the season and he has supplanted Scheifele as the 1C. Just sayin'...

there is no need to protect wheeler... no team will want his ridiculous salary

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

But he has an NMC, so he must be protected, like it or not.

My point is that semantics aside- this should be a lesson for the "grass is greener" folks... many here were saying Scheifele wasn't a true #1 C and PLD was going to steal that job in a few months. Now after watching the two players- PLD doesn't even look in the same tier of player as Scheifele let alone being able to play in Scheifele's role. Folks would be wise to apply the same lesson when they make projections about Perfetti.

We are luck that Scheifele is a Winnipeg Jet. We have 3 more seasons of Scheifele left and we may not be able to re-sign him... enjoy it while it lasts- getting a C of that quality isn't easy and it maybe a while before we get another one... look at the habs/CBJ who haven't had a 1C in forever.

Is this a serious question or are you tripping on blotter???
I'm too lazy to look...are you on the Jackets' board asking them if they are protecting Laine???
Somebody told me the Seattle fans are knowledgeable...

 

[JetsFan815]

Never mind Columbus, he was a completely different player with us at first, even though he was coming out of quarantine. Then he got hurt. Then he got hurt again.

The Wheeler injury was around the turning point for him. Before that period PLD was playing well and I was happy with his contributions. He had managed to drag Connor's underlying metrics into positive something that hadn't been done in a while and even when he was not scoring he was unlocking his linemates and playing in the offensive zone but in my head he didn't look the same player after around the time Wheeler got hurt. Not sure what's going on.
