Speculation: All Purpose Pierre-Luc Dubois Discussion 4.0

[Static]

That was an awesome goal and a depressing celebration.

 

[Dr Quincy]

value just went up with that explosive move and finish

Is that after it went down after no points and a -3 in 2 games, or is this a thing where you think value can only go up based on tiny sample sizes?

 

[Dynamite Time]

But he cant magically up and leave, so No youre still wrong.

But why would Ottawa even put their team in Columbus’ place to begin with?

What place? he's an RFA for 4 years.....

 

[Remember2004]

His play right now is downright disgraceful. If you aren’t going to put in the effort to help your GM get a good return for you, you have no right to demand a trade.

If anything he's only sabotaging himself. IF i was another GM and saw this attitude I would be soured away regardless of how good he is or how good he will be.

 

[jonlin]

I said it before - He should be traded ASAP for the best return you can get or then sit him in taxi-squad for the year if he doesnt show any effort. As it is, PLD is a negative asset. If he doesnt give a 100% effort and has poblicly asked for a trade his teammates knows he doesnt play for the team. If he would be on my team, I wouldnt either love the guy and that affects teamchemistry like hell.
You dont want the guy to score and he doesnt backcheck etc. I bet the team would play better without the guy. He f***ed up - You can ask your GM to trade you, but go publicly and ask for it and let the team know, then your screwed. I`d actually just let him rot if I`d be the owner. So, he will NEVER get the return he would in a normal trade...

If he doesn’t want to play in CLB I don’t see OTT being a team he wants to play for as well. Why would they trade away players, prospects or picks for him to do the same in Ottawa; even if you have him as a RFA.

 

[Iggys Dome]

Any rumors as to why he actually wants to leave? It can't just be that he wants a bigger stage right? He's getting #1C ice time and he's bound to get paid like one. Is it a Torts issue? Can any Jackets fans chime in?

Hes an RFA for four more years.....
Why do you not understand that concept?

There's been 4 threads of speculation on this.

I can't be arsed to read through 4 threads of shitty trade proposals TBH.

it's 4 threads of shitty speculation too. No one knows the actual reason.

So CLB should tell him to eat dirt and play for them until he hits UFA

 

[DJA]

Why not? It's what he signed up for when he was drafted.

 

[YanniPodz]

Which is likely going to happen.

I get the RFA part of it. If he’s publicly stated though he doesn’t want to play there then he’s not going to play 100%. I’m not just going to keep him because I can.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

What a load of crap.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

No it's not. It'd be monumentally stupid.

 

[Viqsi]

His only public statement on the matter is that he intends to be the best teammate he can be regardless.

 

[Legend123]

His only public statement on the matter is that he intends to be the best teammate he can be regardless.

TBH he certainly hasnt done that. He looks completely uninterested out there.

 

[DJA]

What a load of crap.

So just go straight to free agency at age 18?

 

[Viqsi]

TBH he certainly hasnt done that. He looks completely uninterested out there.

Did better as the game went on in today's case.

Dubois won't last the entire season in Columbus if this continues. JK won't sit him yet, that'll only hurt his return. He needs to get as much as he can from a deal, and thats by letting him play. PLD is not happy there but he cannot sulk and play like crap all season. These players still have pride and maybe he would still work hard for his teammates but not the organization any longer. Maybe Dubois signed the 2 year deal at a modest cap hit to make himself more tradeable at the expense of making less money for a couple of years. Much easier to trade at a $5M AAV vs a $8M+ AAV. If he does wanna play in a big market then most of the league is eliminated. All the usual prospects are probably in play including LAK, MTL, NYR, TOR, VAN.

To Ottawa: Pierre-Luc Dubois

To Columbus: Josh Norris, Erik Brannstrom, 2021 1st round pick (top 3 protected)

This depends on if PLD is willing to sign long term in Ottawa ofc


Josh Norris is currently playing top 6 minutes for Ottawa and has been decent to start the season (2 assists in 2 games). He put up 61 points in 56 games last season and won AHL rookie of the year as a 20 year old. He is NHL ready and has 1st line center potential. He was the main piece (at the time) in the Erik Karlsson trade.

Erik Brannstrom is one of the best D prospects in the league. He captained Sweden at the WJC in 2019, and was named to the all star team. He put up 23 points in 27 games as a 20 year old in the AHL. He has top pairing potential and was the main piece in the Mark Stone trade.

I would expect the 1st round pick to be around 7 to 14.

We don’t need Branstrom, stop sending us a guy you don’t need

You can't sign PLD yet. So, nobody would know.
