HF Habs: Trade Proposal Thread #79

[SlafySZN]

There's a difference between not getting your hopes up and flat out making like, three false statements in one two sentences.

Is Pat Brisson the media? Is Kent Hughes smiling and saying he doesn't want to get scolded for confirming his interest in a specific player the media?

Oh no, hughes smiled!

Maybe he thought the question about dubois was dumb. Just a thought.

All he said was that he can’t talk about players who’s rights belongs to another team.

Plus brisson just said to a QUEBEC media that montreal was one of the place he would like to go. Not that montreal was the only team he wants to play for.

That's not all he said at all. Did you actually watch the press conference?

Holy hell, we know the Habs made an offer and Dubois was at the Bell Center thinking a trade was going to happen. How oblivious can people get?

Who cares man Let them players walk to to the states where womens right don’t seem to matter anymore except in the most liberal/democratic states
Have fun in Texas

How so?

No country has the rate of women executives & entrepreneurs as the US, nor the rate of millionaires/ billionaire women as US does

 

[WinterLion]

If this thread gets twenty or thirty times longer the rumours may get as annoying as the 2007-era rumours for Lecavalier and Sundin.

Or Brett Hull.... remember that one?

 

[Canadienna]

If Caufield's agent next summer said something to the effect of "He'd really love playing in X American market", I'd be pissed.

I wish Dubois had just kept his mouth shut and waited until UFA if he really wanted to go.

Tyler Toffoli.
Artturi Lehkonen.
Ryan Poehling.
Jeff Petry.
Shea Weber.
Ben Chiarot.
Brett Kulak.
Alexander Romanov or 13th overall pick who become Frank Nazar.
Andrew Hammond.
3rd pick, 66th overall pick (Gavin Hayes).
4th pick, 98th overall pick (Isaiah George).
4th pick, 128th overall pick (Cameron Whitehead).


In exchange for:

Kirby Dach.
Evgeni Dadonov.
Emil Heineman.
Ty Smilanic.
Nate Schnarr.
Justin Barron.
Mike Matheson.
1st pick, 26th overall pick (Filip Mesar).
2nd pick, 62th overall pick (Lane Hutson).

1st pick FLO 2023.

This rebuild looks very very good so far. Great work by Hughes and Gorton (both help each other).

not sure where you get your stats from... but they are not accurate (funny thing about the web today, pretty easy to call out bs narratives/stats). not interested in discussing further as this is not a politics thread.

No?

It looks iffy. Not great.

For once a good player wants to play for the Habs in his prime...Go get it HuGo!

It's wild man, I genuinely have no idea how people think Brisson is just somehow decided to piss off all the fans in the city where his client currently plays to have a fun summer story for the media. An agent doesn't just innocently tell TVA sports that a player named Pierre-Luc Dubois wants to play for Montreal for the sake of having a little fun with the press. There is no logical reason for them to do this other than to try and get him traded to Montreal sooner rather than later.

Since when does media knows enough about Hughes & Gorton’s real moves? No medias or journalists ever guessed any of their moves or knew what they would do since they’re there.

Don’t you think it’s a little weird that suddenly they all know they made an offer and knows why dubois was at the draft.

No, I don't think it's weird at all. There hasn't been anything secretive about Hughes and Gorton. There is so much smoke around this it's a forest fire. It's hilarious that people refuse to see it. The Atheltic's Winnipeg reporter just confirmed that Montreal is still trying to work on a trade, despite getting Kirby Dach.

Where did you hear this?

We do have too many forwards at the moment... a trade involving a forward or two needs to happen.

 

[Captain Mountain]

It looks iffy. Not great.

If that's your view, then I really don't think you're appreciating just how bad a position Montreal was in when they took over.

I wouldn't call it great, but its definitely not iffy. The fact that they've added the futures they have while being mostly cap compliant for next season is pretty impressive.

Yeah of course they’re working on trades, they need to clear cap space.

So that trumps what a woman can do with their own body?

The reality is it’s poor women in red states who are most impacted, not ALL women.

BTW - the # of weeks has been what Canada and Europe have had in place for the longest time

 

[Spring in Fialta]

He said it’s one of the city he would like to play. Not that it’s the only team he wants to play for.

The Atheltic's Winnipeg reporter talked about teams not wanting to acquire Dubois because they know he'll bolt in two years. It's been reported that Dubois openly talks about his desire to play in Montreal. Sure, if Montreal doesn't want him, he's not going to retire. But it seems pretty obvious at this point that he's trying to force a move here ASAP. He doesn't want to wait until being a UFA.

Yeah of course they’re working on trades, they need to clear cap space.

A TRADE FOR DUBOIS.

The Athletic released the article today. It's from their Winnipeg guy.

 

[Runner77]

Here: Dubois, Scheifele and the Jets' fading dream of two top centres

But Dubois’ personal preference is to play in Montreal. He has not been shy about sharing that preference in private company; his agent has not been shy about making it as public as possible. The Canadiens have been working toward acquiring Dubois by trade since at least the draft and they have not stopped since that day, even after acquiring Kirby Dach.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

I don't even feel bad about Winnipeg at this point either. Apparently they knew Dubois would want to play in Montreal at some point but thought they could sell him on Winnipeg. It didn't work out. Good on for taking the risk and having some balls but it looks like they lost that gamble.

Oh wow, 90 women found a way to exploit regular working people as well as other men have. That’s so great.

 

[JoelWarlord]

He said it’s one of the city he would like to play. Not that it’s the only team he wants to play for.

If you think Brisson said that to TVA Sports innocently I have a bridge to sell you. There are also credible mainstream reporters and Winnipeg beat writers calling it an open secret that Dubois is trying to force a trade to Montreal. He came to the draft expecting to be traded to the Habs.

No that doesn't mean he would only ever consider playing with Montreal as he's not just going to pass up a 6+ million dollar salary with another team and stay home until he gets traded to Montreal, but they are hammering the messaging that he wants to come to Montreal and there is no benefit to doing that unless that is the player's priority.

Forbes

That data doesn't back up your point, Germany having 35 in a country of 83 million people is a higher rate than 90 in a country of 329 million.

I worry about a player that has demanded his way out of 2 different cities before he is 25
