Hunter, you’re several minutes old in posting that tweet, which was already posted.
I feel like you’re not taking the Dubois situation seriously if you’re not refreshing Twitter every 30 seconds. Casual!
Speculation: Pierre-Luc Dubois Mega thread. (LAK frontrunner, but Montreal has circled back)

We think they are involved. It doesn't mean it is true. Hopefully, we will never find out who LA is offering. For cap reasons and opening space for younger players at least one of Moore, Iafallo, and Arvidsson have to be traded this summer.
That's how I've been interpreting this as well. It's never been the Jets style to leak other teams player names. Desperate times call for desperate measures perhaps.
But like you said, seems so similar to Chychrun situation...

Why? Do you need that extra salary cap space while you are rebuilding?
A lot of Canadiens fans grasping at straws here.
About as much as we need PLD while we are rebuilding.
We would take him for cheap or not at all. He's not an immediate need.
That has always been the position.
We'll need that extra cap when we are competing in 2 years to make a splash. That's 6M we can put elsewhere on our roster
Yeah, as much playful banter as there has been between fan bases... it's easy to see why Montreal would pass on this.
Dubois is not the type of dude who is willing to give up something in order to get what he wants... he was going to squeeze the Habs for every penny in UFA if it ever came to that.
I believe two of Moore, Iafallo, and Arvidsson needs to be traded this summer.
True, you don’t need PLD while you are rebuilding but if you sign him for an 8 year contract, you’ve secured your top 6 center positions for when you ARE competitive.
As annoying as both fan bases have been to eachother I hope you guys know this is all in good fun.
Dvorak is still available if the LA deal falls through.
So, Montreal expects to be a salary cap team while rebuilding after clearing off their bad contracts in the next year or so?
Interesting.
Typically, that’s not how it is done.
But he slows the rebuild by helping win more games, if he is any good, resulting in worse draft picks.
Yeah we've been over this many times. Montreal really shouldn't even be talking about PLD right now. The only reason why the team and player are linked is his supposed "desire to be there" which doesn't mean much when he still wants a top dollar contract and Jets (justifiably) still want a market value trade package in return.
This is however a trade that a team in a position that LA is in should make.
I’m guessing Dvorak is still available even if the LA deal goes through.

That doesn't make sense though. All LAK can do is just scrap the trade if PLD is asking for too much.
They are available every season. Why not acquire the 2026 version of PLD in 2026?
If they break the bank on PLD they probably need to trade two and Roy. PLD's cap hit will destroy any depth for the Kings.
Yeah it certainly seems like it's the Jets who have an interest in those names being out there and not LA. Probably letting the insiders do their dirty work? I don't know what to think
