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

[Colezuki]

I don’t see anything on The Athletic or on his Twitter feed

The athletic piece shows Dubois but when opened its not showing anything. And instead talks about helle and the kings nothing with dubois

There’s an Eric Stephens article from yesterday that talks about pros & cons of PLD

I personally don't like the implication that Suzuki seems himself and Caufield as underpaid. If I were Hughes, I would correct that narrative before it takes hold.

Talking about "Team Friendly" does not mean they are underpaid. Suzuki got fair value for what he did the previous season. Caufield is the one who could have gone mercenary but obviously wanted long term and wanted to stay in Montreal. The idea is to leave a decent percentage of cap for down the road.
There is absolutely no need to change the narrative. If referring to Dubois supposed demands it just happens that many people don't believe he is worth that AAV long term. As far as signing a player to more than Batman and Robin it will happen when we have the player that merits it. I don't see the issue.

Like anyone else he put's 1+1 together and comes up with 2. It's an opinion but given his years on sports radio in Winnipeg he is better placed than you or me to get a feel for the ask. He states very clearly Chevy has no choice but to get a high return on Dubois. He gave up Laine for him and his tenure will be judged on how this all works out. How about listening to the podcast instead of asking questions out of the blue.

Why would i have to listen to the podcast? Unless Chevy or Hughes is talking to the press about trade details it's all speculation . Anyone who believes otherwise is kidding themselves It's fun discussing these things but in the long run nobody has a clue

Should the Kings go after Pierre-Luc Dubois? Why it does and doesn't make sense

Dubois is seeking out his third team in what has been a tantalizing and checkered NHL career. Do the Kings make sense? Yes and no.

He never used to the phrase underpaid. He said fair for both sides.

Plus, I’d be willing to bet Suzuki knows exactly what, and how, he’s communicating.
No narrative to adjust or walk back.

So then why the question if you already know the answer?

 

[CHwest]

'' reasonable talented '' sounds like ''she's alright looking''

More like great personality.

Montreal being used as a leverage. What a f***ing surprise...

only the leverage was from the fans .... fans read a note and ran from that

What do you think he's communicating? Spell it out.

The "Team First" concept both the coach and management are continually talking about...
Just Maybe?

It would not surprise me if the moving up in the draft rumour was planted by the Habs in order to get Winnipeg to lower their asking price. The only reason we move up is to make sure we get 1 of the 3 Centres. There is no pressing need to draft a centre if we have Dubois Suzuki and Dach signed long term.

Out of topic

4h j'attends au osti de plaque avec un rendez vous.

Leak something before i go crazy

 

[Runner77]

I wonder if that is the case... Kent would rather spend assets on Fantilli then do them for PLD

Two different price points though. Some of the assets needed to trade for PLD would have less prominence in a 2OA trade.

 

[Richiebottles]

It's weird how the narrative is being shifted to LAK as the front runners.

Just listened to the segment on 32 Thoughts and it is basically going to boil down to the Habs & Kings making an offer.

One interesting piece is that the list of 5-6 teams hasn't been leaked.

I really think this is Chevy trying to drive up the price for the Habs and Dubois still wants to come here.

yes, but the young guy comes in cheaper for 3 years. maybe the thought?

 

[chef otto]

The only way PLD comes is that he refuses to sign with them and wants mtl 100%
Ill believe it wen I see it...alll click bates

starting to think the same.... this PLD is HUGE click bait

 

[Richiebottles]

It's pretty frustrating to see how bad we are at acquiring talent.

Always second, never first.

Just starting?

hahaha

your right 256 pages just on this site

Cheaper on a cost control basis but just in terms of the type of assets needed to get the 2OA would be day and night when compared to what it would take to land PLD.

 

[McGees]

Let the Kings trade a big haul for him... then when he asks to be traded again in a year we can get him cheaper.

ya I get it... just so tired of never having a real #1 centre.
how many more years....LOL

They've been better under HuGo. And the Kings aggressively rebuilt for years and half this fanbase has the patience of a toddler that got into the Halloween candy stash.
