Again lol
never been this early to a video
Just wait for UFA. The timeline doesn't make sense before that
would make no sense to give uo futures for him just wait for free agency next year
winnipeg is one of the worst cities ive ever been to. cant blame him
If the Jets can't sign Dubois long-term this offseaon, the best bet would be to trade him to a contending team as a full-season rental. Jets could expect a return slightly better than the Horvat trade, since it's a full season of play.
The Jets should package Dubois with Hellebuyck and get a 1st, a top prospect and a top 6 forward.
If price is right for the habs, the trade is gonna happen. With the Meier trade, it gives little bit of guidelines on the price. Less power of negotiation for Winnipeg. For the jets, do you keep a guy who you already know that he wants to go on free agency after next year ? NJD are betting on Meier resigning but anything can happen. I could see habs giving up a 2023 second round pick, a veteran player and couple of prospects (1 defence and 1 forward). For the habs, being able to speed up things as a price, but will see if Winnipeg are willing to work a trade to benefit all parties involved. PLD with Dach + Suzuki with Caufield is a dream for a lot of fans. On the other hand, is PLD desired by MTL management? If Montréal draft top 5 in 2023, I really doubt this trade will happen
As we call him in Columbus PLDiva!! Dudes a baby boy.. trade him to any contender next year don't give him what he wants!!
Can we please stop with the PLD video ?
Please! Habs don't trade for this guy. This guy is going to be just another Drouin. He is a loser. Why would someone just want to go home and not want to go somewhere to win? It shows this guy has no mental toughness, exactly like Drouin. Don't take him.
Funny enough, Winnipeg is the largest francophone community west of Ontario, so technically the French angle has some nuance as one could spend their entire speaking French in Peg Grittty …
Not sure how I feel about PLD with the habs. He's quit on a few teams already and what is going to happen when the much harsher Montreal press and fan base get on his case about anything? Will he fold up and quit again. For that reason I would not be willing to give up young talent or early draft picks for him. So aside from that if the price is right then lets see.
Sign him as a UFA not RFA. Don’t give up draft picks for a rebuilding team
This is a crazy rumour and has been one for a while now that seems fed by the desire of Montreal fans to accelerate the rebuild. He is still young enough to be useful in five years when Montreal may be relevant again.
How much is this guy likely to cost you? He could have Montreal over a barrel as a locally sourced hero in the making. He's, after six years in the NHL, still not really a point a game player. How much do you want to pay for that when you still have $6.5 and four more years of Gallagher. You have 4 more years for Josh Anderson for goodness sake at 5.5 million. You have two more years at 7.85 for Christian Dvorak and Joel armia.
Are you going to throw a Dubois log on that fire? What does montreal pay this not quite a point a game RFA? 8$ million for four years?
To be a little bit better.
Or can we forgo this. Move on hopefully from the armias and the gallaghers and the Andersons and in four years be looking at a brand new cast of characters.
Dubois will make the team better but not better enough. Winnipeg should concentrate on signing him because Scheifele is getting ready to run as a free agent Why shouldn't we be in rumours for trying to sign him.?
Because we are not as a team ready to add expensive free agents. We aren't that good and aren't sure yet where we might have to add expensive free agents four years from now when it could actually make an important contribution to pushing the team to being a playoff contender. Perhaps four years from now we need to add a top notch defender and or a Number one goalie and we can't cause it turns out we spent 10$ million on a now 29 year old PLD who gives you 30 goals and 80 points, but to take the next step we need that goalie or defenseman.
The endless cycle of crazy, right now moves are what has put montreal in the situation they are currently in. The idea of a rebuild is to put enough good young players together so we never end up at this end of the cycle again..
Probably the worst thing Montreal could do is invest picks and prospects in this overvalued though still young talent and then spend too much to resign him because you have already invested so much in him.
Worst possible Plan.
I hope it doesn't happen
I fear it might.
No more plz we’re done with this convo 🤣 I’m joking ofc spilllll the teaaaaaaaa lmaoooooo
How about PLD to the Wings this offseason? They could use some help up the middle and Detroit has an embarrassment of riches in the draft pick department. They also have a very deep pipeline of talent.
Dont trade for him if he want to come and sign do it when is a ufa and u dont pay nothing for him
Habs should sing him to an offer sheet for 1 year at $6.2 million
It's just too soon for PLD. If the Habs were looking to go far in the series within the next 2 years YES, but now we are still rebuilding. I'd rather giving more time and chance to players already in like Dach, or coming soon like Beck, or be patient with any guy will get in the next draft, which is full of good prospects playing center. And also, we need to get our salary cap more friendly, PLD will cost alot.
Dubois will help sell tickets in Montreal. They haven't had a Quebec-born star for a long time.
