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

[Runner77]

Kings collecting top 6 forwards in their prime: PLD, Fiala, Arvidson, and .... Danault.

Bergy (even if only a gopher with LAK) gets his guy.

 

[Guy Larose]

It's all done PLD is an LA King
He played the game well
Hughes didn't bite good on him
Bargainin did his job

Impossible, you told us he wasn't signing in LA

 

[Scintillating10]

Sharangovich and Adam Boqvist

I liked Holtz his draft year. Kind of buried in Jersey

 

[Kosseca]

ok.... who's gona stop the puck in LA next season???

 

[Sorinth]

The whole point of a rebuild is to start from scratch to fill your team with young talent in hope of getting those players you need to win a cup. Signing a bunch of players like Dubois to high cap hits is settling for less. If you already have the lay out and you feel adding someone like Dubois may boost it, then fine. But he’s not somebody you build around. If he’s one of your top players, especially centres, chances are you aren’t a very good team.

No team starts from scratch and on top of that the point of a rebuild isn't to build a team 100% through drafting the point of a rebuild is to build a team that can legitimately compete for the cup, it's irrelevant whether you draft, trade, or sign the players.

And nobody is suggesting we build around Dubois, that's the whole point of having Suzuki and Dach to begin with and then adding Dubois so that you have 3 centers who complement each other.

Chevy: You didn't pony up, so now PLD is going to LA. Too bad!

Hughes: You called me in the first place.

I don't really understand this trade from either team. Lateral move I guess.

 

[le_sean]

Ok so it's been confirmed ? The Habs didn't get him ? I must have missed it darn

Satisfied now? Or you want to keep spewing BS?

 

[Habs Halifax]

Underwhelming return for a team that doesnt want to rebuild with all their stars wanting out lol

Several Kings fans on the main boards feel it's overpayment. Glad the Habs didn't go that deep. Lots of us have different opinions on Dubois but none of us wanted to be aggressive in trade talks.

Once Brisson/Dubois opened up to 5/6 teams, we lost the leverage we thought we had. On to the next flip or flop idea.

 

[Runner77]

Satisfied now? Or you want to keep spewing BS?

But … but … it’s still not official.

 

[HabsEstrie]

Impossible, you told us he wasn't signing in LA

Oh I'm just saying what all these sheep are saying cool right

Satisfied now? Or you want to keep spewing BS?

Calm down lol I'm just doing like the rest of the specialist followers are doing

I don't believe any of them no one has privy info
They are all guessing just like you and I and the 3000 other social media posters are doing

I still believe he signs long term with Montreal

Is the trade official? Hope it is!!

 

[NobleSix]

Habs dodged a bullet here. Thanks Bergy

 

[Scintillating10]

But wait … the Habs can still circle back!!!

Habs already inquiring about other young players by the reports

 

[HabsEstrie]

Is the trade official? Hope it is!!

Nope but they will all tell you it is lol

 

[Adam Michaels]

And that Vilardi and Kupari both let the Jets know they won't sign long term with them.

 

[NotASheep]

 

[Captain97]

Habs already inquiring about other young players by the reports

That's what I like to hear, PLD cost more than they thought he's worth so instead they go for other young players and don't cave to the but he's french so we must have him stuff.

 

[Runner77]

Habs already inquiring about other young players by the reports

Saw that. Hughes had said at his Combine presser that he had some active trade offer options. He does move slowly but as long as he gets it right.

 

[HuGo Sham]

Habs fans are not allowed to have nice things. Ok onto the draft.
LA, Blake, bargain bin, Dubois:
Now f*** off

 

[Treal]

When Vilardi, Iafallo and Kupari ask for trades in two years, they're gonna wish they had taken Dvorak, Harris and the 31st instead

 

[CHfan1]

Satisfied now? Or you want to keep spewing BS?

As soon as @Vachon23 reported that the L.A. Kings were involved and the Jets wanted NHL players back it was obvious that the Habs couldn’t compete in a trade.

 

[waffledave]

Jets are the big loser here. Lose a young top 6 C along with the rest of their core, don't get to rebuild, and get an underwhelming return.

That's tough

That's the one I don't get at all. This move would infuriate me as a Jets fan. You knew you weren't getting full value for PLD but this doesn't help them at all. They aren't better, and they aren't really getting futures. Vilardi can't stay healthy and he might end up not signing long term.

You changed tune?!?

 

[Adam Michaels]

Remember how he moved slowly on the Petry trade? And bam, het gets Matheson and a 2023 4th for Petry and Poehling.

We are like 20 minutes since this latest imminent tweet and nothing from other insiders. I am still not sold. Hahahaha. This is insane!
