Speculation: Pierre-Luc Dubois Mega thread. (LAK frontrunner, but Montreal has circled back)

[Richiebottles]

If PLD is traded to the Kings with an extension, the new Habs fan mantra will be “that’s fine, we’ll just sign him for free in 8 years”.

And then in 8 years... 'It's ok he can coach in some capacity'

It's Vinny 2.0 baby

 

[Flgatorguy87]

Have they circled back to Saros?

 

[NewtJorden]

If PLD is traded to the Kings with an extension, the new Habs fan mantra will be “that’s fine, we’ll just sign him for free in 8 years”.

They could still trade for him in 2-3 years when he doesnt want to play in LA anymore.

More like "we didn't want him anyway"

 

[SCP Guy]

They could still trade for him in 2-3 years when he doesnt want to play in LA anymore.

And he will renegotiate the final 5 years of his deal from 8 mil per to 5x 4 mil because he loves Montreal that much lol

Keep the dream alive

We want him.

We won't pay market value.

If we don't get him, so be it.

Yes I agree…Montreal never made a good trading partner with the Jets….

1)Not ready to compete yet

2)Not smart to give up young assets currently

3)PLD wanting more money to play there since they are rebuilding

Just not a good match this year as other teams will beat their offer pretty easily.

If you don't want to pay market value, you don't want him

You'd like to have him. Those are different things

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

PLD isn't afraid to play Montreal which has to be a good sign since most don't because of the pressure? He must be a Warrior

Sure, we'd like to have him.

If his name was Peter L. Forest and he was from Minnesota nobody in MTL would give a fk about him.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I imagine something around Dubois and Hellebuyck. But for something around Iaffalo, Byfield, and Vilardi.

 

[Frank Drebin]

If his name was Peter L. Forest and he was from Minnesota nobody in MTL would give a fk about him.

The only reason we give a FK about him is that he expressed a desire to play in Montreal. We would like to try and use the very rare location advantage to acquire a good player at a very low cost.

If we can't do that, he's about as interesting this offseason to us as Lindholm or Toffoli.

Im out of the loop

How is PLD to LA making any sense? They have Kopitar, Danault, and Byfield getting better every year

Some mentioned Ullmark, rhat seems to make more sense. They have what, 9M cap space now according to capfriendly?

PLD is a Kopitar replacement As his $10m contract expires after this year

 

[Guffman]

Byfield getting better every year

It’s true.

He went from 1 point, to 10 points, to 22 points. The progression!!

 

[SCP Guy]

I can’t see the Kings trading Byfield ….. But if he was in the deal I would help PLD pack up his place for free

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

And he will renegotiate the final 5 years of his deal from 8 mil per to 5x 4 mil because he loves Montreal that much lol

Keep the dream alive

And Montreal will trade future considerations and tell you that you should be grateful they’re so generous..

Rob Blake is deathly allergic to players under 25 years old

Have to purge the illness

Future considerations is a hell of a player , lot of teams are trading for his services!

Blake knows they need a goalie

 

[abo9]

Gotcha, so they need to fit Kopitar + Dubois for only this season , then its assumed Kopitar either leaves or re sign at a cheaper price?

It seems like it would be an oddly coldly calculated move by an NHL gm, who usually love to keep their franchise face for wayy too long and for too much, hockey-wise

 

[FSL KINGS]

Blake knows they need a goalie

Got Pheonix.


Seriously though


Re-signing Quick on the cheap.

 

[Nucker42]

Not sure why a guys value is seen as sky high when he’s Mr. butt hurt who has demanded multiple trades in this early career. Topped out career high in the 60’s? Not seeing a guy I would want to trade for. Head case city.

I wouldn't call him a head case, but there are certainly one or two red flags
