Montreal making Dvorak the centerpiece of the deal is like LA saying we'll give you Blake Lizotte and a mid 2nd for PLD.
Just trying to keep the bidding war between the two teams fair. You guys really shouldn't be too happy about giving up vilardi

Not sure if serious but in case you are... I'm sorry but when did PLD ever actually come out and say anything about Montreal specifically?

Most of this has been harmless banter but it really feels like hes taking it personally or trying to make it personal.
Anyway, someone elses problem.

1) PLD wants to get paid!!!!!
2)He would like to be paid and set up for life in the next few days….
He does not want to take the chance of putting off that payday for over a year and risk getting hurt or affecting his high value that he has right now just to ensure he goes to Montreal.
Winnipeg has 1 year of control and PLD has to play ball to some extent to accomplish his first 2 goals!
It’s all about the $$$…..
Jets have the ability to force him to play 1 more year and delay those 2 goals…. It could be at the expense of any assets at all in return… but they have that power if 1 year of control… A small market has to stand up and exercise their willingness not to pushed around and accept table scraps….
I would like to see this LA deal finalize at the draft on Wed night …. Jets making 3 big splashes and the talk of the town in Nashville!

You’d think the guy would just be happy to settle down with a boatload of cash and get all the drama over with already. Nothing wrong with a shiny new 8 year contract to live on the West coast. Time to go house shopping!!!!!

Blake Out of Hell III: Back in to Hell
He can live in Montreal in the offseason and make big bucks playing hockey in a market that won't have him under a magnifying glass. Live at the beach during the season.
This is a guy that couldn't handle the Torts pressure. If he doesn't live up to expectations, he wouldn't be able to walk down the streets of Montreal. Here? Nobody would know who he is.
Not a bad gig if you can get it. Playing in a non-hockey crazed market actually seems to fit right in with the current narrative of him as a player and a person.
My guess (as a Kings fan) is PLD will be the 2nd line center if traded to the Kings. Kings need a 3C. They either go out and get a 3C, or get PLD and move Danault to 3C. It is that simple. I absolutely love Danault as a player. This is not a knock on him at all. This just makes more sense. If the Kings just move PLD to the wing, then they have done nothing to fill their hole at 3C.
I understand your view of the players involved. However, the Kings are trying to put together the best team with the assets they have. To do that, Danault moves to 3C, or the Kings do not get PLD and get another player to fill 2C/3C.

Craig Button on Dubois... he believes Montreal should do what it takes to get him.
"You want to be a competitive team. What are you going to do? Wait three years until your window opens? Your window and opportunity is right now! The Montreal Canadiens should be all over this."
On compensation cost and whether it makes sense to trade Dach for Dubois:
"You're getting a better player. It's EXACTLY what Vegas did. They moved players in and then they moved players out. Pierre-Luc Dubois is a better player than Kirby Dach. So if that's the price to get Pierre-Luc Dubois, the better player, that's the price! You can't sit here and talk about being competitive. You want your young players to be in an environment where they have a chance to win."

Montreal Canadiens unable to gain traction in Pierre-Luc Dubois trade talks with Winnipeg Jets | TSN
The Montreal Canadiens have been unable gain traction in trade talks for Pierre-Luc Dubois, TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger reports. Dreger adds the Canadiens have "future assets" to move, but the Winnipeg Jets want NHL-ready players back for Dubois.www.tsn.ca
You're unironically quoting Craig Button.

Yeah I mean it makes sense why he would prefer LA over Montreal right now really. LA is currently a playoff team on the way up. Montreal has just bottomed out and is hoping to become a playoff team in the next couple years in a really tough division. I am sure he would be happy to play in Montreal...but LA is a pretty attractive option right now to players I would imagine.
C'mon, I'm just having fun with this.
It's a hockey forum. This is just banter. Of course, I think we are all invested in being "right" for the brags afterwards. Oh, and uhhh... getting a good deal for your team.

Would be a very good top 3 centre group if that happens. Assuming Kopitar is #1 still.
All these strongly rumored trades. I think Gary B has put a kabosh on league approvals so he can eliminate the boos by announcing "We have shit ton of trades to announce!!" as he walks on stage.
For the umpteenth time, Harris is not a fit on the Jets and cannot/will not be the NHL player the Jets get in return. And is he really a top 4 D man? No he is not.
Replace him with RHD Barron and it makes more sense for the Jets but maybe not for the Habs.
Kopitar has another 1-2 years at 1C, then he will need a replacement. The thought is that could be Byfield (if he pans out), or better yet PLD if he is acquired. What I mean that PLD is better now, and that does not rush QB.
