LeBrun: Dubois wants out of Winnipeg, will not sign a contract for next season

[lomiller1]

Exactly. Sundin, Lecavalier, Hossa, Shanahan, Lapointe, Duchene, this is far from the first time. Using Montreal as leverage is a classic tactic.

That said, PLD in Boston would be an incredible heel turn.

In this case though it looks like he really does want to play in his home town and the team is coming back and saying they really aren't all that interested unless he gives them a huge discount.

I get the hometown thing. But he would be under a huge microscope in Montreal.

Jets Twitter account needs new employees.

Yikes....

Why they do that for every Jets player…. Has he done anything so wrong that he should be black balled? He is exercising his rights as per the CBA…. If they didn’t wish him a happy bday they would be doing a crummy job.

Would be great if he wanted to extend with the Jets…but he doesn’t so no big deal… get assets and move on …

Good luck trying to sign anyone after.
Im sure as hell wouldn't go to a place where they treat their start that way!

Yes, players will suddenly stop climbing over themselves to go to free agency hotbed Winnipeg, Manitoba.

They wouldn't play him on the 3rd line though. Montreal doesn't have their 2nd round pick for a $4.2m offer sheet anyway.

I think the Durzi move is a precursor to a Dubois deal, myself. If not, I don't care if he's traded to Montreal for Youppi at this point. I just want it to be over.

Maybe just get out of hockey altogether...I think the hardware business is calling him.

Players are already trying to run away from Winnipeg, but it will get better if Dubois is punished on the 3rd line?

Is there too much fluoride in the water?

Everyone signed long term when we were good. Just need to take a few years to work to get back to a good young playoff team. Easier said than done, but what else can you do in our position

Based on this post, either the Canadiens are getting Zegras, or the Ducks are getting Caufield.

Even if he took one mil a year less than his asking PLD isn't a good enough player to get endorsements in other cities but would easily get more than any other Hab in Montreal.

Looks to me that they are prepping everyone for a PLD to LA trade

Here is a resume in english

L.A might try to trade for Dubois or not

Classic Renaud.

Kings should get a goalie first.

Don’t be silly. That’s not what the tweet said

Renaud has been wrong on multiple occasions.

It was a very “Darren Dreger” esque tweet
