Rumor: Habs made an offer for Dubois

[Habs Halifax]

I expect he plays for the Jets this season. These players have dealt with this kind of thing before with Trouba. They're pro hockey players, they understand it's a business.

Very possible. I'm curious to see how this plays out. I do think Dubois heart and mind are in Montreal but I also don't think he's going to be disruptive if he stays for a year or two.

Look at Petry with the Habs. Still respected but demanded a trade. Didn't happen at the deadline and it's not like was disgruntled about it. He understood it's business

 

[MarioLeMoose]

this is year 1. we didn't tank last season

What do you call trading Lehkonen, Chiarot, Toffoli, and Kulak at the deadline for picks/prospects and finishing 32nd?
Sounds like a tank to me

Yeah if Chevy doesn't get the price he wants he won't move him. It's not like Dubois is a UFA next season. The team has 2 years of control.

Probably referring to the fact that the goal wasn't t tank at the beginning of the season, this year it is

Right. Well, whether or not it was the goal in October, it was certainly the result. This is tank year 2, is the point.

Petry was pretty much a bad apple for the Habs all year long... No compete lvl, poor lvl of play, don't give a shit if a player ran his goalie. Dubois is going to start the year in peg, but won't finish it. The guy is going to be a distraction all year long.

 

[Colezuki]

Unrelated but I do find it odd no one else (3rd team) has even been mentioned in the Dubois saga

Petry was not himself yes but he was not a distraction to the team. Dubois playing uninspired? Possible yes

I can't imagine any other teams rushing to trade top assets to take on this headache. Plus the salary cap situation is a mess league wide.

 

[Buffdog]

Montreal already have a couple of nice pieces in place. They’re not going Buffalo & Edmonton tank style.

I don’t know why you are so angry about this. Any tine Guhle was mentioned by a Habs fan was to say he is not available for PLD. So why are you angry, lmao? You should be happy about it.


Lots of Jets fans have asked for him or Caufield as the main pieces. Both aren’t happening. You should just be happy he isn’t going to be part of the deal. At least there’s that settled

What makes you think I'm angry? I'm not at all

Weren't the Rangers mentioned early on?>

 

[Captain97]

Just seeing what mess PLD creates want to play for Montreal, I would laugh if Bedard says during this season, he only wanna sign with Vancouver and will refuse offers from any other teams, oh man the panics =D

If Bedard does what PLD does and says when I'm a UFA I'll go where I choose that would also be his right as an NHLer. And in 7 years he can go there.

good management practices

 

[Scintillating10]

It feels wierd that Tampa broke their bank for players like Hagel and Coleman for just 2 years of control....
I stated many times, if PLD gets his head out of his ass and sign a 2 year deal around 6 to 6,5 mil, he will by the TDL next spring be out of Winnipeg. PLD at 3 to 3,5 mil for 2 playoff runs.....
I think Jets rather want dead cap of PLD than a dead corpse like Hoffman for 2 seasons

Hagel had dirt cheap contract why he went high

 

[larmex99]

Best guess is this ends just like the Copp situation with PLD being moved to a contender at the TDL of the next 2 years. The main difference is that Copp manned up and was a total professional.

He's a drama queen/baby . Prob not much interest because of his antics

Petry was the definition of a distraction. He finally shut his mouth when the coach was fired, but his play and attitude was embarrassing. I get the on ice was product was trash the first half of the season, but we gave him a pretty sweet retirement contract, the least he could do is act like a professional instead of giving up on the team and throwing a tantrum.

PLD after 6 months with the Habs

Tanking means we purposefully threw the season to get the result we did - except we didn't do that. We finished dead last because of all the injuries we had. Of course we traded pieces when we knew the year was lost

 

[Lockin17]

All the major sports news are all on that PLD to Habs again today ...
Think this thing is getting close to be honest

where'd you hear / read this?

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

hopefully Winnipeg signs him for 1 year and we revisit a trade next offseason we simply dont have the cap or need for PLD this year

Why would any team willingly pay the assets to get themselves involved with this diva when he's made it known he'll only entertain playing for the Habs?

That's how I think it has to be read, as well.

To a certain extent, the current cap crunch means we can't even try to be competitive - you don't sign Gudbranson to 4x4 when you have no cap room. (and veteran D would really help right now)
