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

[Andrei79]

They will never admit to what this is really about. You nailed it though. There’s players littered throughout the league better than PLD. It’s supposedly because he said he would come here. Yay!!!! No other player has ever said that about montreal to drive their price up.

If he was john smith there wouldn’t be a single page about him, Nevermind 250.

The heritage definitely contributes, but if a 6'3" former 3rd overall 24 year old center grew up a Habs fan and wanted to come here, there would be a ton of threads/posts about it imo.

 

[PavelBrendl]

I heard David Amber on the radio saying he thinks it will cost the 5th overall pick and more ("plus-plus" were his words) for the Habs to get PLD.

That's f***in bonkers.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

PLD at 7M per year? That's something that happened in a science fiction movie.

Yeah.

8 mill a year for him and it makes almost no sense unless the Kings are moving someone else putz maybe Durzi and going with a fairly young team on the backend, shakey goaltending and just hoping the cap goes up so they can acquire a better goalie/more depth.

 

[MrNasty]

Bratt is the superior player bar none and bought out the exact same amount of RFA and UFA years that a sign and trade would. Dubois can take slightly less than Suzuki and Bratt or he can take a hike.

Bratt is not better. He has the same PPG in the regular season but PLD is much better in the playoffs. Bratt has a career 1 playoff goal. (12 games).

This is further proof that PLD is worth north of 7.9 M

Still feeling this PLD dream is dead

Please stop thinking.

To be fair, I don’t think he ever started before so it’s kind of a “one off” thing for him.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Oh

Oh well.... another stupid player from the province who use the Habs to get the contract he was seeking. I've lost all respect for that guy and hope we never sign him after this contract.

F****K PLD!!

I'm going to assume he forgot to add the part where Chevy wakes up from his dream.

 

[Schooner Guy]

Bergie has probably broken a few LA Kings boardroom tables pounding on them for PLD.

If Bergevin was still here, Dubois would’ve been on our team last summer and the contract and acquisition price would’ve hurt our club for years.

David Amber is f***in smoked if he thinks that. What a crackhead

Dear David,
Please stop thinking.

He can't stop what he never started, foo

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

What happened to the other Pickles guy?

I saw @Pickles make a like on a post not long ago. Pretty sure he comes around.

This is exactly what I did when I re-read this post again.

2023 5th OA​

PLUS Armia​

PLUS Hoffman​

PLUS Gallagher​

To Montreal:

Dubois​

A top 5 pick isn’t going to be associated with getting rid of bad contracts. Most of those will expire by the time we’re competitive regardless outside of Gallagher who will be on Robidas island by then.

Good lord pardon my French, but f*** no

And i ain't even religious

Just let those contracts run out. Gally will probably be playing on one leg by 2 years time. He's the next obvious LTIRetirement. Hoffman and Armia will be gone by then.

People have to face the fact Habs aren't gonna burn assets to get rid of contracts and that means we still have two years before the complete roster's turned over, leaving only Price and Gally.

I was only showing Winnipeg what the plus-plus they could get from Montreal would look like.

Of course neither team does that deal.

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

Let another team bend over, give up prime assets and sign him to the ridiculous contract he's apparently looking for. He's no game changer and we're still years away from competing, there's no rush to bring him in.

In other words, he can take a team friendly deal next summer or f*** off.

 

[WeThreeKings]

The reason why the kings are now front runners is because they can give up vilardi we don't have such a piece that's expendable

But again, Vilardi isn’t something « that » good lol. The guy is slow as hell and one back injury from retirement.

 

[Adam Michaels]

But we can trade them the rights to negotiate with Drouin before he hits free agency. No team will top that offer. Throw in Vrbetic also to replace the departing Hellebuyck, too.

Habs still have a retention slot left. We can even pay 50% of Drouin's remaining salary before July 1st.

 

[Mandala]

If Dubois is serious about coming here , it will be obvious after the trade. I have doubts about this player, not sure he fits in our cap structure but I am open to see how he develops under Martin St-Louis.

So this is another one? We have two pickles now???
