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

[HuGo Burner Acc]

He won't

He will get traded and sign an extension with that team

Ok let's just say he gets traded to Nashville. Do you think he'll be like " oh well I'm here anyways, might as well sign long term. I can pick where I live long term if I wait, but I'll just sign" ?

NSH won't trade for him because they know that

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

You think he would accept a 1 year contract?

From any other team besides Habs, rangers, etc, yes

NSH won't trade for him because they know that

My point is he won't resign long term anywhere that he's not interested (Habs, rangers, etc). He can still be traded as a rental

 

[SwiftyHab]

Florida and Beck i guess. Throw in Dvorak for good measure

But WIN won't have the same kind of return.

The goals for both PLD and WIN is to find a deal with a team that he will sign longterm (LA or MTL)

They might be going back and forth on who the prospect is.

 

[McGees]

Well, of course you need to give one of them up, I would even remove Slaf,

You want something good, you need to give up something good,

It's going to take the 5th or Dach +

Slaf?? lol Forget that.

 

[SwiftyHab]

I’m hoping it’s kidney

Yes but if the jets end up with no one willing to give in to their dumb demands, they might be forced to move him as a rental, especially if PLD becomes stubborn about only wanting to play for 2-3 teams

I can see LAK. Kopitar is 36 in August, and is going into his final contract year ($10m). Who knows if he's playing again after this year? If he doesn't, they're freed up from his $10m and have a large cap increase. If he comes back, he isn't getting $10m again.

One thing is for sure neither Vilardi or Byfield look like they are able to replace him.

Kings would have to send Iafallo as a cap dump for sure. They probably need to send Arvidsson as well, but he's going into his final contract year too. He's UFA 2024.

LA can then probably send 2 cost controlled youngsters in Durzi (they have Clarke to replace him), and Rasmus Kupari.

That leaves the Kings with a top 6 of Kopitar, Danault, PLD, Kempe, Fiala and Moore. It opens up roster space for Byfield, Vilardi and Kalieyev, while leaving their 4th line of Lizottte, Grundstrom, and Anderson-Dolan set.

It's definitely doable for them, and would give them 2 decent centers to rely on post-Kopitar.

Yes please.

If Florida didn't go on this crazy run, Dubois was probably already a Habs.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I would be OK with that.

 

[vokiel]

If they want Dach, you say yes lol

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I’m hoping it’s kidney

He's not even close to "grade A".

 

[MarkovsKnee]

If they want Dach, you say yes lol

No, you don't.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

I ain't paying 9+ million for a 2nd line Center.

At this rate just sign Monahan at 2 mill + bonuses.

And trade for Keller.

Slaf - Suzuki - Caufield
Keller - Dach - Anderson
RHP - Monahan - Gally

 

[sandviper]

Dubois and his agent are playing Montreal like a fiddle. Its almost amusing.

I’d say they are playing some of the fans like a fiddle. Pretty sure Hughes knows what he wants to do and will stand by it.

I am sure that is where it starts, where it ends may be less than that.

 

[McGees]

Florida and Beck i guess. Throw in Dvorak for good measure

Fun fact: he has no sources.

 

[Belial]

Hell no! Dach is untouchable IMO.

 

[vokiel]

No, you don't.

I'd pack his stuff myself

 

[Belial]

Trading Dach for Dubois makes no sense as it's a trade that doesn't really change anything. Lateral movement.
If we could add Dubois on top of what we already have that would be a solid move.

 

[JustAHabFan]

Crazy talk.

F*** that. Wait a year and sign him as a UFA. Why trade two good grade prospects for 1 year of PLD in a season where the playoffs aren't even expected. It doesn't make any sense to me.

 

[River Meadow]

I would be OK with that.

PLD is a gutless non-loyal something.

Hard pass.

^^^^^

This guy gets it.
