Post-Game Talk: ITS OVER- Did we make a huge mistake on Pierre-Luc Dubois Thread?

[Sorinth]

Do you know what the date is that Dubois's current contract expires? That's the date his agent can come out and publicly talk about interest in other teams like Montreal, as he did last year. Because technically he'll be a free agent, even if a restricted free agent.

The same date as every NHL player, and the window to bring a player to arbitration is before he's allowed to receive/accept offers.

Lol Dach is going to make less than half of what PLD makes and may even be a better player. I don't blame the Jets for asking for him and leaking rumors to insiders on how other teams are interested, but that isn't happening. In addition to PLD's contract, we need to consider that we are giving up assets for him and that prospects like Roy and Mesar won't have the chance to play in the top 6 since we would have PLD/Suzuki/CC/Dach/Slaf/2023 1st occupying the top 6.

the dach dubois thing sounds more like,

Hrudey " well mtl should trade dach for dubois" from the WPG perspective and Friedmann "if it was that easy it'dbe done" .

Sounds like our management isn't overpaying at all for dubois and will wait it out if he becomes a fa

assuming the 2023 1st is a forward and not reinbacher

Why is it that I get the sense Chevaldayoff is going to bolt to become GM elsewhere….

what date is that?

True, but also don't think it's wise to have a minimum of 3 8+ million forwards when none of them are top 10 players in the league. You're gonna need a depth piece as that 6th forward who won't cost a fortune.

 

[BehindTheTimes]

PLD is such a good guy that he half-assed his playoff performance so we can get him with just Mesar and Dvorak. What a guy.

Leave it to PLD. Such a nice guy.

 

[Favster]

Chevy has to pretend he has leverage, because they couldn’t give Wheeler away last year and Sheif is a head case. If they want to rebuild, PLD is their most valuable asset, as little as it is at the moment. Trading PLD for Dvorak and scraps won’t be a good look for him.

He can pretend all he wants but GMs aren't dumb, if he's traded this offseason it will be to the team who offers him the best deal as a 1 year rental, even if an extension is in place. There's no reason for us to offer more than the best package for 1 year of PLD.

With Poile retiring, Amstrong (St. Blues) and him have been the longest GM of the same team. I really wonder how he manage to keep his seat with the Jets considering his track record with the team...

It’s actually pretty impressive given very few players want to play in Winter-peg

He should have been fired over the Kyle Beach incident. Shameful that Winnipeg kept him on.

 

[Rapala]

All that talk about Barron but maybe it can be Harris.

Absolutely. Not trading Barron from a position of weakness. Hutson and Mailloux won't be ready next season. Team building which is what HuGo uses to describe their mandate is about filling holes no blowing out new ones.

Is Barron only brought up because they have his brother?

The Jets has been good at drafting and trades to fill the holes under Chevy.

Dubois was so bad in these playoffs. All Jets fans want him gone asap.

We aint overpaying.

 

[sheed36]

I wouldn't blame the Jets for asking for Dach back in any potential PLD trade but that would be a huge no from me and I don't think Hughes would trade Dach for PLD at this point either.

I wasn't the biggest fan of the Romy for Dach trade at first but what I saw from Dach for about a month or so before he got injured the first time really won me over on this guy. Not sure what clicked for him but he was dominating some shifts during that stretch with his size and skill and his physical play really ramped up then as well. Seeing him run right over Clutterbuck like Clutterbuck was some 140lbs player was one of my favorite Habs moments from last season.

Just beautiful.


And then there was this hit putting Gudas on his ass.


Curvy Duck must stay.

Dumont also wrote an article on MHN about this today.

Canadiens Link To Dubois Resurfaces Following Jets Elimination

The Montreal Canadiens have been tied to Pierre-Luc Dubois for quite some time now. The current debate revolves around the concept of acquiring Dubois from the Jets this offseason or waiting until he’s an unrestricted free agent next summer. Hockey Insider Elliotte Friedman once again mentioned...

Of course Dubois isn't ONLY interested in joining the Habs, no one actually seriously thought this.

 

[nyhabsfan]

Umm... He may want to play for his hometown team and that is nice and all, but do we need him on this team?

I didn't watch the entire Jets - Knights series but what I did see, I was not impressed?
Curious to read how our fanbase with no horse in the game thought of PLD?

I would not give a 1st for him this year, patience; if he wants to be a Hab let him sign a one year deal or get traded for still take a one year deal... his trade value is very low right now, but we could get him for nothing in the summer of 2024.

They only had two RHS regulars last season, of them of being not-getting-any-younger Demelo. I remember hearing about how the right side of the D was a weakness for the D.

Not sure how much of the series you watched but he definitely wasn’t “so bad”… some games he looked like a stud.. other games invisible like the rest of the team

Better summary would be “inconsistent”

 

[MarkovsKnee]

The context here is that Montreal won’t give Dach up. That the price is lower than expected because of the situation.

Friedman and Marek also heavily implying that if another team acquired PLD, they know it’s for one-year. The writing seems to be on the wall that at the very least he’s going to test free agency.

That's the question Hughes will need answered before any trade. Maybe he just wants to go to July 1st and have his choice, with Montreal being an option but not the only option.

Lots of players want to test what's out there even if they have a city in mind. Just go to UFA and get wooed.

We're not a team that should trade for him as a one year rental. He needs to sign long term. Maybe he doesn't want that.

 

[JoelWarlord]

It goes without saying that we aren't trading for him without an extension.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Dach is not being traded fro PLD. Please, let's put this silly rumour to bed.
