My guess for PP2 (to start) is Chytil, Pavel Buch, Kakk, Laff and Foxy. I think Stromer will be on PP1 to start since he was there last season.

I hope not. Thats throwing a bunch of young guys together and hoping it clicks.

At the end of the day they're going to have to find a way to get either Laff or Kakko serious PP minutes, and ideally both once they both come into their own.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I am OK with Byron Boy on a one year deal under $1 M. Abelkader, not so much...

Abdelkader is the Jack Johnson of forwards

I like the way that PP looks. Hell even PP2 looks halfway decent, which is rare.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Not that it’s worth much, but Lebrun mentioned the NYR as a team of interest when it comes to Dubois. Along w Anaheim, LA, Winnipeg, and Montreal.

Insider Trading: Jackets weighing options on coveted centre Dubois

They have him on PP1.

That cliff was steep, it’s almost like he bumped his head and forgot how to play hockey

Insider Trading: Jackets weighing options on coveted centre Dubois

Lebrun mentions Anaheim, LA, Winnipeg, NY Rangers, and Montreal as teams he thinks have interest in Dubois

Edit: damn someone beat me to it lmao

I think Pierre hit the nail on the head. Very doubtful Jarmo is gonna trade him to us without making it hurt. Will probably be too rich for our blood at the end of the day. I’d hold off, plenty of options still to come.

I think you are most likely right. At the end of the day even if the price is tough to stomach the NYR should have the assets to get a deal done. As others have said, if they want to be the high bidder in this instance remains to be seen.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Chytil/Lundkvist and this year's #1 for PLD...bucket!

i'd pay a heavy price to get PLD.

can Montreal even afford him?

 

[TheBloodyNine]

He’s worth a heavy price, but how heavy are we talking? I’m thinking that if Jarmo knows he’s gonna have to play this guy on an up and coming Rangers team multiple times a season then he’s just gonna have to cut a leg out from under us. Rather spend those assets on something like Eichel if he becomes available.

 

[aufheben]

Haha I could have sworn Montreal had a ton of cap space not long ago.

Now?

I saw a Jackets fan suggest Zibanejad straight up.

That's bold but I've seen crazier proposals

If they throw in a 2nd rounder.... Shades of 2016 LOL

Yeah that’s not gonna work for us haha

 

[RGY]

Yeah that’s not gonna work for us haha

Countering with Howden for PLD straight up.

 

[Chytilmania]

Boyle was a monster on the boards and routinely a hits leader in the NHL. Why does he have this weird reputation for being soft?

I remember going to a game and every time he "hit" someone the guy in the row in front of me kept yelling "hit 'em with your purse Boyle!"

 

[aufheben]

People complained about Boyle when he was 26 and now people want him when he’s 36. HF.

 

[JohnC]

I will roundhouse anyone that talks shit about sweet prince Brian Boyle
