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

[kyne]

If this drags on, Chevy will probably trade him to a non-Montreal team with a terrible offer just out of spite.

At this point, I hope PLD gets traded to Minnesota but then again, I'm still on my first cup of coffee.

Prediction: PLD will be traded to Habs before the draft. Anderson, Harris and 1st pick Florida will go to Winnipeg Jets.

Anderson won't go to Winnipeg.

Cheveldayoff letting Dubois call the shots makes Winnipeg look incredibly weak imo. I can see them sitting on him if they don’t get exactly what they want threw the sign and trade if only to try and send a message that they won’t be bullied by other managers and players.

I mean everyone is trying to get the f*** out of Winnipeg. Both Ehlers & Connors are on record saying they don't want to go through a rebuild. I'm sure they're biding their time & seeing what Chevy gets out of Wheeler, Schiefele, Hellebucyk & PLD. If it doesn't look good, they might be the next 2 out.

Connors still has 3 years left, but Ehlers only 2. Next summer, we could be talking about Ehlers not wanting to resign & is on the block.

The only notable player signed long-term there is Morrissey. Winnipeg is essentially set-up to go through a rebuild. They are fighting against it.

Not nipping the problem in the bud two years ago is biting them hard now. It clearly isn't just the City players are having issues with.
If I'm ownership I'm asking serious questions of my GM at this point.

I think LA could turn their attention to Lindholm with the news that came out this morning.

Probably cheaper to acquire and has a lower cap hit

I heard Renaud Lavoie on French radio this morning say that Hellebuyck didn't technically say he wants out. He only said he doesn't want to go through a rebuild. So if Jets don't go through one, it's possible Hellebuyck signs an extension with them.

Yeah, I really wonder how Chevy is surviving all this bullshit. Huge dressing room issues for at least 2 years, no playoffs last year, a huge drop off this year in 2nd half with a terrible playoffs, players wanting out, coach quit ....

That's an organization that needs a change over in management.

AskedDFO and Seravalli said there's mutual interest, moreso from PLD's side. Says Habs aren't afraid to wait until next season to sign him. Got the sense that he's been told, or thinks the Habs won't be the highest bidder in terms of assets given up to acquire PLD.

This is interesting.

PLD could technically come back to WPG and sign a 1 year deal and sign as a UFA.

PLD told WPG he wasn't resigning there, not even his QO.

He's either traded as a one year rental this off-season or gets a trade&sign where he wants to go.

WPG can take him to club elected arbitration, I think?

There was a post on the Winnipeg board that made me laugh.

"It seems that PLD loves the Habs, but they have him friend zoned.". Lol

They didn't elect for it when the window was open a few days ago. There is apparently another small window after July 1st where you can ask for it, but I'm not sure of the rules there.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

No, it's passed. They only had 48 hours after the end of SCF to do that. PLD can apply to take Winnipeg to arbitration til July 5th. Doubt he does that.

No, sorry there's a two day window of July 5 & 6th where Winnipeg can do it. So once the player window ends, team window re-opens for another 48 hours.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Yeah, he won't.. wonder if he sits out.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Yeah, he won't.. wonder if he sits out.

Actually, I edited post above. Player window closes July 5th, and team window re-opens July 5 & 6. So there is a 2nd window.

I mean Winnipeg could take him to arbitration, then sell him as a TD acquisition. We'll see if they go there.

 

[ZUKI]

He'll also have a set at Just for Laughs.

With PK Subban from my source . Don’t ask his name, he wants to stay anonymous . E5

 

[Goldthorpe]

The more this topic is talked about, the less I'm convinced the habs will trade for PLD, and he'll end up in LA. No picture of him in Montreal will convince me otherwise.

 

[StCaufield]

He actually wants an 8 year contract.

I said minimum 4. And 8 years for that bum is cap suicide

At this point I'm just convinced that Dubois will never wear a Canadiens jersey. I've been traumatized by Marian Hossa's gloves.

 

[HabsEstrie]

Dubois trade to Habs incoming

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Dubois trade to Habs incoming

Prove it!

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...Lindholm basically just did Dubois (and maybe the Habs) a solid by letting it be known he was probably not reupping with the Flames...a much more accomplished #1C now available makes it even less likely that Chevy gets anywhere close to market value for PLD, methinks...
