Habs management probably don't really care about PLD and have zero reason to trade for him. Especially as they are rebuilding and are not in a position to give up significant assets and then have to sign him to 9+ million. The only way PLD plays for the Habs is if HE decides to wait a season and offers a discuount on his salary.
Put it on paper...shows us the offer! No use saying that and having nothing to compare the miller offer to.
Habs offer PLD a contract in a year's time at a discounted cap hit.
You might be right............but Dubois has a certain skill set that is hard to find............I doubt very much Mtl does not have interest...........admittedly, maybe not that much.......but to say they don't have interest.....I really question
Yes, and like the other poster said......Tampa offers him full pop, and tax free! and lots of sun! and only a 3 hour flight to Quebec
Think we have to look at his situation with some hesitation regarding this whole Montreal thing. We hear it 1000 times. Player A wants to play in a certain city, wants to go home, etc. We also hear it a lot more from the Montreal media and fans. Whether it is true or not, it doesn’t play out that way 90% of the time.
I mean, why trade for PLD after Dach has shown such promise and progression in his game? Habs made a draft-day splash to get Dach and its paying off. Plus, they signed Dach at a sweetheart of a deal to boot.
And if that happens great. What does that have to do with Montreal? Montreal has not shown any interest to PLD. Its the other way around. Why does Montreal have to accommodate a trade for a player that made it public that he wants to play for Montreal? lol
Have to give up so much, then pay Dubois 8million a year. It's huge. We can wait a year get him for nil. Be silly of us to make you an offer that blow your sicks off.
What do you want for him?
Dubois want to play in Montreal because he's from Quebec. And the fans will pressure the team into trying to get him for the same reason.
Fans have no say in it.
There are a lot of good / great players. Rebuilding teams don't give up significant assets to trade for them when they are rebuilding.
Ok...maybe that is the deal....maybe a 2nd thrown in because it is later......I would probably do it without the 2nd
Adding dubois and a mid 1st from last year, isn't rebuilding? Come on man, your grasping!
Sure they would! ..............Edmonton moved Gretsky
Nice Shrek reference. Love that movie. One of my goals is to watch it in every room in the house. Just trying to figure out how to make watching it in the bathroom on an iPad more comfortable.
That isn't rebuilding. You build from the draft and with young players who develop over time. PLD is in his prime and will earn 9+million. There is zero reason for the Habs to trade for him. Especially when there is a good chance they can sign him as a UFA a year later.
