Thread: Different Pulock Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>Too many pieces involved. Pageau isn't waiving for Winnipeg and the Jets aren't taking his contract. While the Jets can't afford to trade an RHD for pieces they don't need. Even though Pionk is nothing special.

As for Perfetti, I highly doubt he's available, but if he was it would need to be a hockey trade for something like Pulock, a player with term. I just don't think the Jets will want to give away a young player with team control left, so Ehlers is more likely to be moved.</div></div>

I completely agree with you on Perfetti but now you gotta look at it from the Isles side. The Isles don't have to move Pulock at all for literally the rest of his contract. To get a long term asset you're gonna have to give up some long term value. I know especially in a place like Winnipeg team control is probably valued high so it would be tough to part with him, but you're getting an even better current player who's locked up long term which has got to be enticing.

Edit: Also moved Pageau in a seperate deal so you don't have to worry about his cap.

Thread: Has this idea been explored
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Subbanator7667</b></div><div>That's great and all but their time has passed. Barzal, Dobson and Sorokin are about all that should be left of this roster. Other teams are just going to pass them by and they're never going to be legit contenders again. They don't have any prospects coming up, no cap space to make a big signing, basically just stuck being a mid level team who will only luck into a playoff spot just to be gone 5 games later.

Next season you likely see NJ, Ottawa, Buffalo and Detroit all pass them. Two years and Columbus is likely passing them, Montreal likely passes them the year after. In three years they're likely a lottery team anyways, why waste Barzal and Dobson's prime years</div></div>

I agree that the Devils should pass us but for the other 3 teams everybody’s been saying this for the past 3 years. At some point those teams need to prove it instead of people just looking at their roster before every season and saying they’ve improved. Not to say it won’t happen this year but more likely than not I’d have the Isles making the playoffs then the other teams.
