Blake had better not trade Vilardi for Dubois on a 1-year deal, even with an agreement on an extension after New Year's. Knowing Dubois' past and that he wants to go to Montreal, I don't trust him to keep his word and resist the temptation to walk to free agency. Blake will deserve to be fired if that happens.
Speculation: Pierre-Luc Dubois Mega thread. (LAK frontrunner, but Montreal has circled back)

Nobody will trade good assets for a year of PLD as he waits to sign with Montreal.

That's the result of having a bit more offensive duties and playing with wingers who are slightly better at passing the puck, or at least more disposed to do so than Brandon Gallagher, meaning that he's shooting more the puck. Shooting for 14% will also bring somewhat unsustainable totals who were, indeed, not sustained.
But there's a reason why Tatar - Danault - Gallagher was one of the strongest 5-on-5 line in the league for 3 straight years. Danault is still pretty much the same player. A LOT of people didn't quite know what we had with Danault and were adamant that he shouldn't get offered a penny more than 3.5M. They were idiots then, and they're still idiots.
Did I say anyone will? All I remember is when he was in Columbus he was quoted saying he wanted to go home and play for Habs..

They still have a fair amount of high end talent (Connor, Ehlers, Morrissey and Perfetti). They also have a decent collection of veteran D-Men (Schmidt, Pionk, DeMelo, Dillon ), several young D-men and a solid collection of complementary players (Lowry Barron, Appleton, Niederreiter )
If they can get the right pieces back this can still be a competitive team, and hopefully one that has moved past the locker room friction of the last few years. At the very least they are pretty well positioned to a quick bounce off the bottom if their goal tending implodes in the next year or two.

Deal is not happening otherwise it would have been done.
Blake's offer probably expires tomorrow.
PLD probably wants more to play not in Montreal.
Gabe's agent already countered with a lower offer.
Blake Put Luc and Bergey on timeout.
Arvi is the offer and they want Iafallo.
The weird planetary alignment is over.

Hellebuyck is so much more valuable than Dubois on the ice. But age and positional value are in PLD favour and against Helle
You bring up a very interesting point.

Vilardi is also a center.
McLlelan sends his young centers to the wing instead of the principals office when he puts them on time out!

I wouldn't be so sure he ends up in Montreal... or Los Angeles for that matter.

Sounds like Chev drummed up all of these rumours to drive up the obvious low ball offers hes been getting from the Habs. Doubt Hughes is buying it.

Here for the hot takes
Chevy doesn't leak to the media, he runs an extremely tight ship and plays the game different than almost all other GMs. Anything you're hearing came from PLD's agent, or other teams.

Maybe Pare but SS / SG are too valuable to Mtl for being traded for a 2C.
Guys I can feel it, we are close from a deal.
Or not at all.

Happy thoughts
I feel that if Dubois isn't traded on Tuesday it definitely might happen another day.

Breaking News....
Netflix is now interested in a mini series about this trade. It's called The Dubois Saga.
Denzel Washington is playing Dubois and Angelina Jolie is playing Cheveldayoff. There is also a scene where Jet/Hab fans go to war like the opening scene of the Gladiator....but with rubber hockey sticks and poutine catapult bombs.
It's a must miss series.

Helle is what 30 years old? Heard he is looking to cash in on a long term deal that's a big no. He deserves it just not on the Kings.

John Lu just said PLD trade could be done by morning.
I'm assuming he means tomorrow.....
