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

[HuGo Burner Acc]

So I guess this means he really is a problem child. At least if it were he just wanted to come home, you could spin it. I'm going to set the over/under at 5.5 years until he's dissatisfied

 

[Habaneros]

LA will buy him out in 3 yrs , and he will come home..lol

 

[pickles555]

what player is now for sure coming to MTL... what a crock

Start the 10,000 page thread about Matthews signing here as UFA next summer

I just knew that Habs 2nd round pick would end up going to the Jets so the Habs were still in on acquiring PLD.



Quite an expensive price in assets to pay to acquire PLD by the Kings and also a quite expensive contract to sign him.

Everyone wants that 2024 MTL 2nd round pick.

 

[sbhatt]

Thank God the Habs didn't give up a ton in trade, and then overpay PLD on a longterm deal. Glad this didn't happen.

 

[waitin425]

500k more AAV then I would have been comfortable with. And the pieces going back. Wow. No thanks.

 

[CheldishGamibno]

YES! What a gross contract lol

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Ouf, getting rid of contracts is gonna burn through their picks and prospects even more.

Some pure biceps club move

His name is not Antoine Mathieu

 

[Koivu11]

Don't let this 8-year extension distract your from the fact that playing here is still his biggest dream guys, I'm sure he'll be thrilled to join us when he's washed and close to retirement like all the local bag chasing phonies before him.

When he can’t even skate anymore:

“iT’s A cHiLdHoOd DrEaM cOmE tRuE”

I know size is at a premium, but you could argue that Vilardi alone is better than Dubois. This is an insane gamble by LA.

They also have to cut salary to get a goalie.

That Huberdeau/PLD soon-to-be Habs dynamic duo is looking real good right now eh?

Who's next in line I need some names to fill in the blanks in my 2024/2025 pipe dream lineup.

Huberdeau and Dubois in 2033 is gonna be a great duo for the Habs!....4th line.

You forgot about their line mate Gaudreau

Kupari hasn't done all that much in the NHL. He's been very good in AHL, but can't crack the NHL so far. He's waivers eligible too.

Iafallo is the "cap dump", but plays an annoying 3rd line game. He's capable of putting up 40 pts.

Vilardi is the big piece. How he develops will determine if Jets out and out win this trade or not. If he settles into a middle 6 role then Jets traded PLD for regular depth players.

For now, Winnipeg isn't appreciably worse. LAK is about the same.

The Habs did give a haul for Newhook, so...

They DID give up a ton in a trade, for a WORSE player

Lmao i forgot about that bit

 

[Adam Michaels]

I think Jets did real good here. 3 roster players (2 of them young NHL players) and a 2nd round pick.

In a similar situation with Trouba last time around (RFA with a year to UFA), they got a Pionk and a 1st (they used to pick Heinola). They got two assets for Trouba. But they got 4 assests for PLD.

 

[MM425]

To trade a 23 year old Gabe Vilardi ++ for a 25 year old PLD when Vilardi posted very similar production and possession metrics… Pretty questionable stuff from LA.

Chevy in Winnipeg makes out like a bandit given the circumstances.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

I'm glad it's over and I'm happy with the result.

 

[OldCraig71]

Don't fall for this type of bullshit again habs fans, thankfully we have a smarter management group in place that weren't willing to overpay in assets and big money to sign him. Give it a few years, the ones laughing at those of you that flooded the main board won't be as vocal when this inevitably falls apart.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Much happier banking on Newhook’s potential for essentially 2 2nd round picks than giving up similar value LA did + 8.5m on the cap for 8 years.

We’ll have Dach and Newhook for less than PLD combined, and I’m fairly certain Dach will up the better player as early as this season.

 

[George Lebay]

We might have just avoided our own Tavares.
