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

[jfhabs]

Dubois would be a nice add for either team (MTL or LA), but I think it's a much better fit on LA. They've been accumulating assets for longer and still have good old vets like Kopitar and Doughty on the team. They made the playoffs last year and there might be more pressure for them to win with 2 elite players about to hit massive declines.

Montreal's window is not even open yet.

 

[Wats]

Can the the rest of the league have our own thread on PD that doesn’t envilve the Montreal fans. It really made the whole thing go to shit in a submarine.

We can start by removing Montreal from the rumours and thread title. As usual, agents/media need to include Montreal/Toronto/New York/Boston to get actual attention. It's pretty obvious the situation is the same here, Montreal really has nothing to do with this...yet they need them for the attention. Take Montreal fans out of this thread and it goes to page 2.

At two failed marriages, you gotta start worrying that the problem might be the bridesmaid, not the bride

Unless I married the same woman twice, the odds of the bridesmaid being the same is pretty low.

I meant bridesmaidS

Edit : and that was a poor attempt at a joke that the problem with PLD is that the habs have always been the bridesmaid, not the bride so far

 

[ryan callahan]

A guy who bailed on his team once is bad. What is it called when he does it twice in a row to two different teams? Why expect anything different with a different team? He's proven he's a whiny lil bitch who hangs his teammates out to dry when things don't go his way. Mildly talented or not...HARD PASS.

Ya and I definitely wouldn't take MacKinnon on my team because he blatantly engineered a move out of Baie-Comeau because he didn't want to go anywhere else than Halifax.

 

[malcb33]

I really hope LA backs out. WPG playing games here by not allowing LA to negotiate with PLD.
Good luck with that tactic.

Maybe PLD is asking for the moon (contract-wise) and they don't want LA to know...

Chevy so using us to get the most out of LA

 

[Djp]

Habs, always a bridesmaid and never a bride.

Nnnnahhhh….

it’s more like the 5+ yr relationship that she got strung along with because of no ring and they break up only to see him walking down the aisle 6 months later…..

To much credit

 

[Nickel eye Heel hers]

Habs fans will be relentless if PLD goes to Montreal and Dvorak is the centerpiece lol

It would certainly help the Jets tank for draft picks for multiple years.

 

[Not The One]

For those Habs fans hoping that they don't get Dubois...

When is the last time the Habs actually drafted a C as good as him? Plekanec in 2001, maybe. They also whiffed on two no. 3 draft picks at C in a few years (KK, Galchenyuk).

Are we going to wait another 10 years before they actually draft another good one?

Why atleast it keeps us entertained until wednesday take away Habs fans and this thread is still at page 1

 

[tbcwpg]

Thought I just had listening to Ken Wiebe on Winnipeg Sports Talk right now - perhaps the rights to Korpisalo are included and the Jets are discussing options with him before allowing permission for the Dubois deal?

who cares if they draft one?

they have 2 that are as good or better right now and have a top 5 pick. If one of the top 4 take MIchkov they get another good center. Then calculate the huge contract PLD is looking for and also calculate the assets The Jets would want.....

Id pass on PLD if it was me unless its a reasonable cost and reasonable contract.

So, is there any team that could swoop in and scoop PLD from MTL and LA?

Until he puts on a new jersey and signs a deal there is always a chance but those are the 2 teams we hear are in at the end......

Yes its going to be Arizona with a 10x8 contract!!!

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The Quebec Nordiques. Pierre-Luc Dubois is just waiting to will them into existence so he can play in front of Quebecois.

 

[FSL KINGS]

Korpisalo was said to have wanted to test free agency. Doesn't appear any talks between him & LA are happening. Don't think his ufa rights would be a major hold up.

If that is so than Take out the trolls and it goes to 1 post.

I don't think his rights would be a hold up either, my suggestion was more that the Jets might want to know that they can sign him before including his rights in the deal.

More like Brisson

My speculation is that the Jets and Kings have agreed to the framework of a deal and PLD's camp is trying to grind out max AAV

 

[sansabri]

To much credit

it's not Dubois' camp preventing him from talking to LA

 

[ole ole]

Many team could if they have cap room , interest, and the needed pieces.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Seravalli mentioned that Ottawa, Detroit and even Columbus had interest/has interest in PLD...

He's so in demand that even the Jets are circling back on PLD.
