What stops pld from not signing an extension though on Jan 1st? You know pld doesn't care what others think of him lol
Speculation: Pierre-Luc Dubois Mega thread. (LAK frontrunner, but Montreal has circled back)

Am I just way off here or is Dubois just not good enough to deal with all of the headache that is coming with him?
I know Kopitar is old, but the Kings still have Kopitar and Danault as top-6 centers and Byfield probably as a top-6 center in the future. I just don't really see the need here to deal with this, it would make a lot more sense for them to be going after Hellebuyck IMO.

Jets still have Josh Morrissey (one of the top d-men last year) and elite forwards in Ehlers and Kyle Connor and a lot of good complementary pieces.
Yep, they certainly could have gone for a rebuild but are just turning over their aging core for new blood and a new culture.
Jets will not be as good but they do have some solid prospects that will soon be knocking on the door.

Because Marc Bergevin was a narcissist asshole who think he had a great team who always used Carey Price as a scapegoat.
Or decides to pass on extending on Jan 1 so he can walk to UFA and Montreal can sign him… “for free” (tm).

It’s the Canadian thing to do sadly lol, not saying it’s right but so many have done it.
Habs didn't rebuild because Molson wouldn't allow it. Leafs did rebuild. They just never added the final pieces.

I don't see him being a headache in a big market like Los Angeles. He just didn't seem to enjoy playing for Columbus and Winnipeg which is kind of understandable, but he soldiered through anyway.
As for Kopitar/Danault, the Kings would be making this trade as a long term play in addition to making their team better now. They could also use Danault or Byfield as a trade chip to improve elsewhere if they really wanted to. Can never have enough center depth.
Leafs couldn’t afford to add the final pieces because they blew their cap overpaying their stars.
Easy answer: Carey Price. He was good enough to bring the Habs in playoff contention by himself and was untradable

He has demanded a trade like 4 times dating back to juniors.

Awesome Mascots!
As far as I can tell, he's extremely moody and will take any slight discomfort and turn it into a trade request.
With the CBJ, it was "not a strong hockey city" and "Torts".
Not sure what it is with Winnipeg, but it's the exact opposite of those two reasons. I'd imagine in a few years, he'll say it's too smoggy or something.
He just needs to grow up and not feel so pampered.
Sure, if you consider quitting on your team mid-shift “soldiering through”

Leafs and Habs revbuilds were both long overdue when they finally happened
Leafs blew it when they gave Tavares 11M a year when he was a luxury and not a need.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he butts heads with McLellan. Todd can be a hard ass when he wants to be.
yup that messed up the balance of the team, shoulda just kept Kadri and used that money on D/G

We had Bergevin running our team and he's not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Obviously Blake came to his senses.
And we saw this last year.
Basically,
Blake Chychruned out!

Which year was Danault's best year? He has scored more goals each year while on the Kings. Had his most points in a season as a King. Not sure what you are perceiving.......
I guess doubling up on your previous high goal total for the year can up your value. ??????

The most fitting way for this PLD saga to end is him being back on the CBJ. That would also be proof of "we are all just living in a simulation" theory.
