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

[luthar]

Sounds like Hughes must have decided to put Dach on the table

No! If Kings deal fails, they will circle back...

 

[Jee]

So the dude was right, either a deal is close or a deal is not close!

I think Chevy is circling back to see if they will add Hoffman to the Dvorak package.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

His starting ask is reported to be 9 million. Probably gets 8.5.

He hasn't earned that.
It's crazy.

 

[Frank Drebin]

I’d love to see a #31 + Dach + Barron return… just for the Habs fan tears

That would be something. As would be seeing the complete 180 from Jets fans on Dach if that trade went through.

Rumor has it that Hoffman was proposed free of charge (no salary retain) to all teams and no one bite.
Are the jets really in need of dead-weight?

For the purposes of this trade, yes.

A new contract is always the longest step so no surprise there, reports are now that the Habs circling back again with a new offer so we shall see what happens

Ill put it out here one more time as a Habs fan.

I want PLD.

I want him at the price of Dvorak + Florida 1st + Beck/Harris/Roy/Kidney/Farrell/Mesar/Engstrom/Norlinder/Barron

I want him at 8 million a year.

If either of these things is off, I will be tepid at best.

If we include any of Dach/Hutson/Guhle/5th overall are in the deal I will feel like we overpaid and angry.

If LA beats our above offer with something that would have required someone from the Dach group, then I will be indifferent.

So....we can banter about actual cost all day long. But this is the value with which I place on PLD and my expected reactions whichever way this goes.

 

[HuGo Sham]

please make it stop
please make it stop

0 chance at that.

Dach might have more trade value than Dubois.

nice gifs broter.... didnt realize it was still 2012

Would actually be hilarious.

brilliant covering all his ases

 

[Canadienna]

Or it could be the Jets don't really like the Kings offer and or can't get Vilardi to sign long term.

I hope Hughes isn't offering Dach.

vilardi is still under control for four years, doubt they are worried about that right now

 

[Breakers]

Am I the only one who doesn't get what all the fuss is about PLD?

I'm not saying he's not a good player, BTW. He just doesn't seem to be the huge trade package and $8M - $9M a year player it sounds like he'll get the treatment of.

Dreger and Ferraro said that toronto series consistently gets brought up from NHL personel on why he is so valuable

i mean it was a bubble year

Take that for what you will.

 

[BLNY]

He hasn't earned that.
It's crazy.

Very few UFAs do. A ltd means ufa years. The cap is expected to take a large jump after they get out of the escrow situation. Is a 2c a $9 million? Not in many people's eyes. Kevin Hayes got more than $7 million without every having put up a 50 point season (granted he had 42 in 51 his last year in NYR).

 

[SCP Guy]

As a Jets fan I would have been fine with a 8X8 extension.....but that was the max

 

[Legend123]

its gonna be a bunch of second grade assets like Harris Farrell a late first or whatever else

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

As a Jets fan I would have been fine with a 8X8 extension.....but that was the max

As a Habs fan if they somehow come out on top, hopefully it's that at max.

9 mill.... ehhhhhh

 

[Buffdog]

Dach has always been the ask from chevy (I'm guessing)

He's younger and on a better contract but AS OF NOW not as good as PLD (and I don't think he ever will be, but Habs fans have watched him more and think he may be)

 

[JetsFan815]

Habs offer has to be clearly better than the Kings offer for it to take. Chevy is buds with Bergevin and as much as we hate it, the NHL is still somewhat of an old boys club. All things being equal Chevy will trade him to LA where Bergevin works as a "favor" if the two packages are roughly similar.

 

[fmrdh]

PLD + 18

Dach + 5

 

[Superlative Soup]

Habs fans waiting to see if they have to refer to him as a locker room cancer or a gritty, 2 way top 6 C
