I'd rather have Gabriel Valardi than PLD.

What was the return?

I liked Dubois. He is a solid 2A Center. I did not see #1 Centre in him after a few years. It was exciting when he first got here. I thought that the Jets finally got that 1-2 punch down the middle. He did not live up to what I thought he could have been. I am glad the Jets are not paying that salary.

Very good deal for Jets if this sticks...and it puts a fellow western conference team in serious cap hell.

Yea, agree - me too - PLD big disappointment!

Play when you want to, now, PLD!

Return that is speculated - Vilardi, Iafallo, Kupari and a 2nd

I guess my dream of Adam Lowry as a "throw in" on this trade will not come to pass.

Chevy did very well if he got the 2nd round pick in this deal as well.

Vilardi
Iaffalo
Kapari
2023 2nd rd

If that’s the package it’s a big return

What the hell is Blake thinking? He gutted his team for a decent center! I don't get it??? Well done Winnipeg!

All that for a guy who has already quit on 2 teams?? Well done Jets!!! You're way better off without him.

How exactly did Blake gut this team by losing one top 6 forward, and two bottoms 6 forwards?

Fun fact, PLD is actually the French translation for "lazy baby".

He has value that the marketplace has given him, but I'd want this guy FAR AWAY from my team.

Fantastic haul for a guy that wasn't coming back in a year.... I think Jets fans will like Iafallo

I'll chime in too and join the masses in saying that this does appear to be a very good trade for the Jets under the circumstances. There is the saying that the team that gets the best player is the ultimate winner ( which would be Dubois) but in this case, the Jet's haul of very good players plus a decent draft pick usurps that notion.

I am not too sure. Villardi has yet to play a full season in the NHL. It also looks like Iafallo has not played a full season in a while too. I will reserve opinion on this trade. Initially it looks like we got a lot, but we will see what these pieces translate into.

The dark horse in the trade....

Rasmus Kupari

"He is a mix of Jesse Puljujärvi and Sebastian Aho, Mikko Manner (Kärpät HC) 2017
Slick Finnish forward, very dangerous with the puck on his stick, always a threat offensively, ISS Hockey 2017"

Kupari hasn't developed offensively yet but he shows flashes of skill. He has a motor for sure. Kupari can help the Jets on the 4th line immediately and the PK.
