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

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

So maybe MTL can take on LAs deadweight for first rounder instead

4.5 to spend on 2 forwards, 3 D and a goalie.

A.60.Point.Player.

In LA, he's gonna reach 70 points and more for the next few seasons.

 

[BLONG7]

You wouldn't be happy if PLD was a PPG player?

We will never know...................he has never been.
His PPG 7 years into his career is 57 points. Far cry from 82 points.

 

[DesmondDekker]

I was part of the « we don’t want Dubois » crew, still using MTL as leverage to get what you actually want is lame. f***ing despicable. I hope he gets booed whenever he comes in town.

 

[Runner77]

Now that it’s official …

I think you missed my point,

I was trying to say Tavares is a PPG player

 

[Habs13]

I think the Kings gave too much for Dubois, and then gave him too much term and too much cash. Glad Habs bounced on this deal.

 

[NobleSix]

Habs obviously getting clowned left right and center on the main boards but the funniest part is I think they're the biggest winner for not giving up that absurd package and contract.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

The timing was bad.

Lol no it wasn't. PLD decided to smack that timing down by asking for a trade.

 

[beowulf]

So glad he is not coming, especially with what the KIngs gave up and the $8.5M a year he will be getting. And so much for him only wanting to come to Montreal lol money talks!

enfin tabk

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Good lord , 4 players and a draft pick for Dubois

.at this point Newhook doesn't cost that much

I imagine Arvidsson is next on the block.

 

[gusfring]

I don't mind not getting him, but Newhook is so underwhelming. Would rather have kept the picks

 

[BLONG7]

Sorry................................the leafs did get JT for free as for assets, but gave him 11M per, so...............

 

[CHwest]

380 pages for one player.

Hopefully it runs right to 10,000 posts, we are only a few hundred off.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

There is a world that in 6 years from now, PLD is traded as cap dump for no asset in return with 50% retained to get rid of him just like we are seeing with Hayes and Johansen.

 

[B1g B1rd]

Guys... 381 pages and counting... do you see a problem somewhere... Get over it...
1) Overpaid for the contract
2) Overpaid to get him...
Thank you Hugo for being realistic
Hello Bargain...

 

[JohnTheBaptist]

Finally it's over. And we have Newhook to be a little bit excited about. Things are looking positive.

 

[Habano]

I don't think I've posted in this thread until now. Would I have liked to add Dubois to the habs? Sure I would have but not at the asking price and the AAV he was seeking. He was not going to make or break this team. Good on HuGo for sticking to their guns.

The strangest thing in all of this was Chevel... wanting established NHLers. Nobody willingly wants to go play for the Jets. I foresee a mass exodus which has already been rumoured. So getting Vilardi, Iafallo and Kpari is going to make them a contender when they're gonna lose Hellebuck, Sheifele et al? I don't know but I just don't see it.

Anyhow, I'm so glad this is over and we didn't give up key assets for the petit gars de chez nous.

When the phone rings and you get offered Dubois, you don’t ask for more.

They're clowning us for what exactly, not getting fleeced and handing a disgusting long-term contract to a big pouty baby with entitlement issues? I mean that place is a cesspool so I shouldn't be surprised.

 

[ArtPeur]

Can I start the new PLD to Montreal thread 9 years early?

 

[Andrei79]

I

Lol no it wasn't. PLD decided to smack that timing down by asking for a trade.

It's funny to hear that, as the trade was finalized, PLD apparently wanted LA all along. A lot of us were saying to stop putting PLD in the lineup, not to listen to the pundits as this isn't the first time a french canadian player has pulled this kind of stuff. The red flags were everywhere around him. I do think he'll find a lot of success with LA though, but what I'm wondering is what happens when the going gets tough ?
