Post-Game Talk: ITS OVER- Did we make a huge mistake on Pierre-Luc Dubois Thread?

[McGuires Corndog]

Nov 25th 1st game vs L.A.

In MTL?

Definitely going to buy tickets.

I’m not gonna stop booing this bum

This PLD trade and subsequent contract might be the first lose-lose-lose trade in the history of two team trades.

WPG doesn’t get better and is still dead in the water. LAK overcommit to a player who’s better than Vilardi but not better than all the assets given up (and he is more expensive). MTL don’t get the player they need and would’ve fit perfectly in the top6.

Bravo NHL, this has been fun.

He likely would've been booed wearing either jersey that game.

 

[expy]

Good riddance.

 

[Habs13]

It doesn’t work like that, sorry.

It could have. Easily too.

 

[Kairi Zaide]

I'm just thankful we won't have a core of Suzuki, Caufield and Dubois taking about 24M.

I remember some 16 years ago (ffs, has it been this long?), there were all these rumors flying around that Briere wanted to sign here. I was heffin stoked. I had followed Briere in junior and his years with the Yotes. Couldn't fathom why they couldn't get him going, didn't seem to trust him. When he fully broke out in Buffalo, I was so happy for him. Knew it would eventually happen.

Signing in Montreal, the team would've been stacked. Not a perfect team, mind you, but full of talent nevertheless. Those who remember, know what team I'm talking about. The team that won the conference, sans Briere, to end-up eliminated by Briere. Could you for a moment imagine that team with Briere? The possibilities? Being loaded at center with Saks, Plex and Danny? Trade Plex to shore up another position, still sign Hamrlik. Anyway.. sigh.

So, I remember that feeling. I remember the day, the moment. Where I was, whom I was with. I felt so dejected. It wasn't the end of the world, not by a long shot, but it left me with a very bitter taste. Silly young me, I said to myself "never again will I get my hopes up like that for a Quebecer star saying he wants to come here".

I also stopped lurking and started posting here in the two previous weeks before he signed.

So yeah, never again.

I'll believe it when I'll see it.

[waffledave]

Jeeeeez 8x$8.5MM ? Are you kidding me? That's not a trade, that's a curse.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

crazy return good for winnipeg

Winnipeg just got Bergevin'd lmao

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

Don't let this 8-year extension distract your from the fact that playing here is still his biggest dream guys, I'm sure he'll be thrilled to join us when he's washed and close to retirement like all the local bag chasing phonies before him.

 

[habsfan891]

So glad Bergevin isn't here anymore wow that's f***ing brutal for LA.

 

[morhilane]

Bergevin is one of Blake's advisor for the LAK.

 

[sheed36]

I just knew that Habs 2nd round pick would end up going to the Jets so the Habs were still in on acquiring PLD.



Quite an expensive price in assets to pay to acquire PLD by the Kings and also a quite expensive contract to sign him.

 

[habsfan891]

Bergevin is one of Blake's advisor for the LAK.

I know lmao that's why I said it

 

[nhlfan9191]

This was one of the most boring seasons I can remember since the early 2000’s. I thank PLD for at least giving some talking points and discussion to help get me threw it. Glad he’s not here tho and that’s the last I’m mentioning his name for now on. Let him be LA’s headache.

 

[BLONG7]

That's 4 or 5 pts with a + differencial. Playing vs Mathews, Connor, Marchessault, etc, not so bad. He doesn't shut down any bozo there. The Maurice Richard trophy player and the most recent Cup winner first center.

Phil was a -1 that playoff run.......again, not taking anything away from him, he played the defensive role to a tee........against the big matchups.
A poster called him a #1 C during that run, and he had 1G and 3A meanwhile Suzuki had 16 pts in 22 games, so......................

Good! now let's concentrate on the good stuff...
