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

[Guffman]

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.

Well… you’d think that if he would be willing to sign long-term, he would actually want to be in a place like LA, unlike Columbus and Winnipeg.

 

[Goal Caufield50]

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

PLD can also play wing

 

[Kingspiracy]

Has the Berenstain bear picked many trades for LA. I know hes one of the regular contributors of kings stuff but i dont tend to follow his 'work' as i find his style irritating

 

[Goal Caufield50]

Got Pheonix.


Seriously though


Re-signing Quick on the cheap.

Need pucks to be stopped not beach balls

 

[Rock Paper Sissons]

I hope Nashville isn’t trading saros..
I don’t want to rush askarov

 

[kings11]

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

Kopi is getting extended at probably half his current salary so it’s not an urgency to get PLD.., now a G is a different story

Yeah Kopi outscored pld last season, I'm not sure it's time to take him out to the woodshed yet

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Scheifele and Connor to LA?

 

[Captain97]

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”.

Bruh that's not a new Mantra, go read our board for f*cks sake.

We literally have a PLD thread where most of our fanbase only wants him if it's cheap and if he's to expensive would rather another team trade for him.

That thread has been open for months.

 

[kings11]

Scheifele and Connor to LA?

The Kings were in love with Connor before they pulled the Lucic trade so that wouldn’t be a surprise at all…

To WPG: Vilardi + Byfield + Spence + Iafallo

To MTL: PLD ext. 8 yrs
To WPG: #31 + Beck + Barron + Hoffman

May I interest you in a Gallagher instead of a Hoffman?

Not a chance… lol

That’s a hefty price to pay for PLD. If he comes at a reasonable cap hit (8 - 8.3M per year) then I wouldn’t be mad at Hughes. Anything over 8.4 with that return and I wouldn’t be happy.

Barron is not an easy asset to let go. Neither is Beck although he’s easier to let go than Barron because of positional needs.

As a habsfan, I do that deal

if Jets pull off those deals, imo they're as good a team now and they're set up for the future very quickly

Waaaait a second. Where is Dvorak?! NO DEAL!!

Dvorak will cost you extra

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Gonna be Hellebuyck I'd bet.

Maybe it's Dubois but I can't see him signing long term without testing free agency and I do think he wants the option of going to Montreal or least seeing what that would look like.

Montreal isn’t giving Dubois more than Suzuki and Caufield.

I agree, I think Hellebuyck is the target. Apparently he wants 9.5 I think I read so clearing cap lile they did would make sense.

Yes they are.

Miller and demko

Byfield, Clarke, cap dump

Byfield, Clarke, cap dump

Swap Clarke out for a different prospect and I'd do it

That would depend on the cap dump
