Essentially, PLD makes guys like Tkachuk look like saints. Tkachuk wanted out but still was willing to sign a 1 year deal which more or less said he wanted out. Saying he won’t even sign the QO with WPG seems like a slap in the face to all thing WPG and shows his maturity issues

He signed a one year deal last year?

 

[MXD]

so Brisson offered to facilitate a trade (again). Here's where we find out, if he actually has somewhere in mind to play. Personally, I don't assume it's exclusively Montreal

I don't think it is either.
Things ended up quite badly in Winnipeg this season. PLD may be going for a single season before signing long term.

(I suspect he ends up on the Avs if that's the case, with the possibility of signing a long term team if things go well)

It just means WPG can elect him to arbitration. It's essentially the same as a QO.

I for one am quite happy that this is all blowing up in that blowhard saboteur Brisson's face and I hope it continues to do so. Kind of sucks for the Jets, alas.

Someone is bitter about Brisson? lol

Doubtful the Avs commit assets without a deal in place or imminent.

I’ll LOL if he ends up in LA for Byfield while Montreal fans cry about how he should have been picked up for Dvorak and a 2nd.

Nobody cares if you will laugh out loud about an imaginary Habs poster who said imaginary things that hurt your feelings.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Anyone else think this guy is a bum? Will never forget how he quit on CBJ with "the shift" and now won't sign a 1 year deal to demand a trade? Seems too entitled for a 60 point player.

Yep.

This is like the 4th or 5th team since junior he has had issues with.

Guy isn't even a legit #1 C either. Good #2 C

If Montreal cares about character, stay away.

In addition to the obvious subject of this thread, Brisson is also the agent for - and engineered the departure of - Seth Jones.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Something around Dvorak + Kidney + Florida 1st + Hoffman for Dubois

 

[sr edler]

I really don’t think he’s going to like the Habs media the second he struggles

Or the fans egging his scooter.

Yeah, but the guy is a player agent. If the players wants out, that is his job to make it happen. Be mad at Seth Jones and Dubois, not him?

 

[WarriorofTime]

I suggest they call his bluff then and have him sit out until he caves. His only other option is what, to bolt to Europe?

 

[LeafalCrusader]

He going to the draft in his Habs jersey again?

... Inserting Hoffman in that deal is basically offering some good ol' dysentry sauce on top of your meat and potatoes and veggie meal.

guessing? Many of us thought so too. But there seems to be too many variables and Chevy doesn't look like the type to cave to any offer Hughes makes.

Well there goes shopping him at the deadline. It always made more sense to trade him this summer anyways from a risk standpoint.

Let the bidding begin.

Dvorak, Beck, FLA 2023 1st, COL 2024 2nd.

I think that's a good offer. I wonder how Hughes' feels about parting with Beck

I’ve said all along I’d be ok with this sort of return. Of course that’s when FLAs pick was 17OA, but whatever...

 

[BLNY]

Going back to his last year in junior (2017) he has requested three trades and will be on his fifth team before he starts his 8th year, I feel sorry for any team that signs him long term because I doubt he’ll change his attitude.

I wouldn't want to play for Tortorella either. Despite not wanting to extend in Winnipeg he was, imo, their best forward in the playoffs this year. While the core group of guys wilted, he was physical and productive.

If you have the option not to commit long-term to a situation you don't want to be a part of are you going to be honest about (with yourself and others), or are you going to be a masochist, sign and be unhappy.

He spent three years with the Jets. He'll know all he needs to know to make a decision about his future.

I'd give him a ltd, but it won't have any clauses that limit what happens if he's unhappy again. If he doesn't like that he can go elsewhere.

 

[Dr Amazing204]

Trade him already.

 

[BatVader]

95% Montreal, 5% a random team that thinks he wouldn't do it a 3rd time.

Not unless the Habs come up with better than Dvorak as a return

 

[Breakers]

Dvorak sucks and is a 5th line center

Winnipeg wouldn’t want that trash.

That would feel good for WPG fans, but what is gained? They can just move him this summer and his trade value isn't going up if he sits out.

 

[Viqsi]

Yeah, but the guy is a player agent. If the players wants out, that is his job to make it happen. Be mad at Seth Jones and Dubois, not him?

It's different if the player agent has a history of contentuous negotiations with the team and has subsequently encouraged his clients to leave.

That last is why Werenski fired him and replaced him with another guy - Brisson was trying too hard to get Werenski to go somewhere else, and Werenski wanted to stay.

 

[WarriorofTime]

That would feel good for WPG fans, but what is gained? They can just move him this summer and his trade value isn't going up if he sits out.

They can trade him if they get a good offer of course but no need to trade him for Pennies on the Dollar because other teams smell blood. They have to, at the very least, be willing to let this carry into the season. They don’t lose the rfa rights to him if he doesn’t sign an nhl deal.

So we're just making shit up now huh?
