Oh... Dubois got traded already. Sorry!
I'm sure Kings fans would also enjoy sharing in a good laugh with your proposals.

After 5 years in the NHL, Dach's career year hasn't even match Dubois' rookie season.
Similar player except in performance-related metrics? Perhaps ROFL.

F*** your ice cream!
He failed at centre, thus getting pushed off to the wing for most of last year.
Former 3rd overall pick failed so much that Chicago was quick to trade him away and grats on being 6'4".
Jesse Puljajarvi was also 6'4" and was selected fourth overall. Where is he now? Eating pizza.

He's only 22, lol. If you think he's so bad, your opinion. Those of us who actually watch him play know better.
Yeah, ok. Dach ran into injury issues, a small metric that is relevant. Never once said he's a shoe-in to reach PLD accomplishments, just that he has the potential to. At 22 potential still does exist? Perhaps ROFL.

now now dont get me started about chicory....
So the other insiders got their info from the Kings, Dubois agent and the Jets once the Hughes failed to complete his deal. Habs insider Lebrun was first to bring up Dubois going to the Habs. As soon as the Habs were out Habs insider LeBrun went silent, Hughes went on tilt and wildly overpaid for Newhook. Weird coincidence I guess.

Let’s face it when he inevitably quits and gives up on his 3rd NHL team it will make the trade interesting….but for no I’d give the edge to LA
Not sure what you are babbling on about, but your working theory is solid bro. That Hughes wanted Dubois so bad that he wouldn't give up anything quality for him, and therefore failed in his quest. And then went on "tilt" and traded 31 and 37 for the former 15th OA.
This is some very solid reasoning. Can you break down some more trades for us that have that simple, what seems obvious is probably true approach to these things? Simpletons like me that realize that Hughes would have known long before any of us that PLD wasn't coming to MTL. Or those that know, even if he was, he isn't getting more then Caulfield or Suzuki. Why focus on any of this very logical stuff when you can create a narrative around Lebrun, and Hughes desire to pursue a guy that makes no sense for the team.

Go Habs!
A very late 1st round pick and early 2nd wasn't "wildly overpaying" for Newhook. You are over valuing picks that more likely than not never turn into NHL regulars.
@TS Quint
Also, PLD said publictly that the Habs haven't even made a contract offer...
Maybe they just weren't all that interested (#Culture, #PayDay, #AssetManagement)
Totally OK with that.
Hughes fails, LeBrun had no more info. Fact. Hughes wanted Dubois BAD. Didn't have the horses to get the job done. Went on tilt and overpaid for Newhook.
PLD didn't admit to tampering? Imagine that . Habs fans are weird.
There was no tampering, he was allowed to negociate with potential suitors, and actually did agree to a contract with the Kings. @TS Quint is weird.
I guess you believe in your fact-free narrative.
Or you are wildly over valuing the Avs #10 scorer. A 30 point player.

Anyway, I'll let the Habs fans continue to stalk the player they have no interest in.
Kings fans got a good player. Good trade for both teams.
Feel for Dach, love watching that guy. I wanted LA to get him that draft.
Not sure what he has to do with this deal, but still like the guy

WOW! Great way to be original and lame!

He must be living under a rock or he did not have access to the internet for four months.
was just wondering why this thread is moving so much
Here:
Pierre-Luc Dubois soutient que le CH ne lui a pas soumis d’offre formelle
Ah oui?
www.danslescoulisses.com
Now maybe you can be so kind to do the same and provide links to support your narrative that the Habs didn't have the horses to trade for him, that Hugues wanted him BAD but failed, which triggered this discussion and that you presented as a FACT ? Other than just the absense of links from LeBrun, which isn't proving much. (I can play that game too)
Oh, you probably won't as you are already bailing after being called out...
That was a cool story though !
Nobody said we weren't interested. We were not interested in overpaying, both for the $ and the assets. We were never going to give Dach+ to acquire him. We were interested in the leverage we had to acquire him as a buy-low option. At that point, we had reasons to believe he was interested in playing with the Habs, and would sign sort of a team friendly deal, equal to Suzuki's deal. History showed he wasn't all that interested and was using the Habs to get a better deal.
Must feel good to make shit up.
Let me know when his points per game reaches the 8.5M$AAV level he now commands.

way off he started on the wing and finished at center before hes injury and once again started at center this year
Gorton himself said he sees Dach has a center in the league

I see what you're saying now, but with so little text and no punctuation, you came off as flippant instead of coming off as inquiring.
