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

A few days from now, when Dubois is a Hab and Vilardi has a new contract with the Kings, we'll be able to laugh about this.
Dubois and a 50% retained Hellebuyck would be a fun, little blockbuster…
PS: I think Chevy is just grinding out the best deal possible. Will Montreal come into play? Will Hughes finally offer up Dach to get the francophone hero to Montreal?

I'd prefer Vilardi over Dach, all things considered.
I really like the idea of getting Iafallo in the deal too. Seems like Copp 2.0 from what I've read today, maybe a bit better offensively

MTL are not gonna overpay that awful offer if true and if only for PLD is coming back.
L.A are not even better after that trade if it's the offer

Actually, that reminds me of the trade that was called off last TDL with Arizona due to a "misunderstanding". Can't remember what that was about. Trying to move Petersen, I believe then all the Chychrun rumours. I guess there have been a couple.

Better offensively than Copp might be a little optimistic, but I'll be happy to be proven wrong. I'm a fan of Iafallo though.

Yeah we're rebuilding and we'll keep a very cost controlled emerging player like Dach over trading him and more for the privilege of signing Dubois to $9M a year. We are indeed perfectly fine, thanks.
Iafallo is a 40 point winger signed at 4m, if that is considered a main piece in a Dubois trade, WPG is losing that trade, especially if the other main piece is Gabe “can t play a full season for the past 7 years„ Vilardi. I hope for WPG that a 1st is coming with that package, else they re getting fleeced.
Sure. Let’s ignore the fact that they’re a rebuilding team that had roughly 750 man games lost to injury and literally only had one player who played every game. Like he said. We’re fine without the great French saviour

You can't tack Weber and Price into your man games lost. They're not coming back.

Fair enough, that was an assumption I made while I could have easily just looked it up. That's on me.

Everyone's taking on risk here. If Vilardi can stay healthy, it might be a steal for the Jets. If he can't, then maybe LA made the right call on selling high. If Dubois is actually a lazy sack of shit who clearly has injury issues of his own, Jets made the right call. Time will tell, there's no sense in declaring a winner right now. More than anything I think Jets' fans are just excited to get it done with and move on with the pieces we get back.

Not too disappointed that the Habs couldn’t get PLD but am hopeful the price LAK has to pay makes it obvious why the Habs couldn’t compete.
If LAK get Fiala and PLD in successive years for basically forgettable or spare parts — and both from within the same conference, no less — that’s a big W for LAK and L for their competitors.

Even if Dubois has a reputation for lazyness or whatever, he is at least a 60 point 2C that can play wing if need be. I don t see a world where a guy who has been injured every single year since his draft year starts to play full seasons at 25 years old… or anotehr where the difference between a 3LW and a 2C is a guy who will play 40 games a season even if he scores 30 points…

The fact that it's been a day or more and none of the major outlets have picked this up is telling.

To be clear, I'm a big PLD fan. There are flags with him, there are flags with Vilardi, everybody's trying to get out ahead and we don't know how it will turn out in the end. I'm happy to get Vilardi back if that comes to pass, if it doesn't pan out, fine, I just want this situation to be done.
As a Habs fan, I also want it to be done. Silly how many pages about Dubois have been written already…
