People are underestimating the leverage the Organization has
If they play him for 2 years and he still wants out, He will still be a RFA
they say either sign long term which will in turn get them fair value in a trade, or he can stay home and watch

YOUR PERIODIC REMINDER: Per HF groupthink, Ryan Johansen wasn't going to get us a #1D, Brandon Saad wasn't going to get us a top-line winger, and Josh Anderson wasn't going to get us a #2C. Please keep this in mind when discussing things related to PLD.
The structure of the de ($3.5M + $6.5M) leads me to believe that Columbus is willing to let this ride out for a little while and get their top line center for cheap this season while the cap space isn’t an issue but revenue is low. Then next season you can sell him as a 1C only a having a $5M cap hit.
Will see if torts gives domi enough rope to be the 2c. His defensive coverage leaves a lot to be desired and I am a huge domi fan .
Domi and #2c in the same sentence? Guy needs to learn how to win an actual faceoff for that
Would Kyle Connor from Winnipeg actually be a desired target? Someone mentioned him in the last thread. It would kind of make sense for Winnipeg, maybe. Ehlers, Wheeler, Laine and one of Perfetti/Vesalainen make up your top four wingers and Scheifele/Dubois is a hell of a 1-2 punch. Would be among the best top six out there, once Perfetti turns pro.
I’d rather have Connor than Laine
From Winnipeg
I would do
Scheifele for Dubois+
I would consider for at least a few minutes
Connor+ for Dubois
or
Ehlers+ for Dubois
I would not consider Laine in any case.

I believe that works for us.
But I don’t see how Winnipeg is a bigger stage than Columbus for PLD and it seems to be the reason he wants to leave.

No news really. Only news is that the trade request isnt going away, and he expects a trade somewhat soon. Rest is speculation with his dad being in WPG
Puts him in the west and out of our hair and we get quality in return, where do we sign.

And Friedman said (his opinion?) if Laine would commit to Columbus, maybe that's something to keep an eye out on.

Laine for PLD doesn't make sense for the Javkets. Domi is not a 1C.
So who feeds Laine?
The only path is a 1C for a 1C with adds from either side.
Barzal for PLD....Jackets add.
Kk for PLD....Habs have to add and its too risky for Jackets.
Whatever the deal...it's about centers.
Also if he really wants a big market, which sounds like a deflection, then a lot of small markets are out.

It could die down...or explode.
This sudden change had only one source.....and Torts won't go away. Not yet....

Actually you’re forgetting Dubois can file for arbitration after this new deal is up. He can get deals for his last two RFA years in Columbus through arbitration, he won’t hold out.

More than likely some team falls of the map and becomes a seller or another player becomes disgruntled and they swap star players. Though the player in return will likely be older. Otherwise you're looking at a three quarters for a dollar trade.
