Rumor: The Dubois Conundrum -- Part 4 -- Search for the highest bidder

[FrankMTL]

Domi-Laine, a dream come true for Torts.

Just thinking of this and I'm laughing. Two head cases for the price of one.

 

[le_sean]

Well we can’t compete with the value of Laine. That’s a great get for a disgruntled player.

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

The only logical players to deal are Drouin, Danault and Byron to fit under the cap. Cap and future wise, acquiring PLD doesn't make sense for the Habs right now unless off course they want another french speaking scapegoat.

MB already got burned with Drouin who was supposed to lead the Habs to greatness and negotiations with Danault have been difficult. It seems that all french speakers in this province believe PLD is the next Lafleur.

If MB trades away either one of Romanov, Suzuki, KK or Caufield, he deserves to be canned. Even adding another D prospect like Guhle into the mix would be a step backwards.

All first round picks from 2006 to 2017 have either busted, been traded or lost to waivers. Even before Carey Price, the 90s and early 2000s have been awful. The Habs have been unable to develop their prospects and keep them for long. So why deplete the farm when prospects like Romanov, KK, Evans and Caufield are showing signs of a turnaround?

Nobody think KK + Tatar for Dubois isn't faisable?

 

[Andrei79]

We had nothing to compete with that.


Which is perfectly fine. Glad the PLD talks are done for at least two years.

 

[sampollock]

this thread is over,

CBJ were basically checking on the health of PL

 

[No More Subban]

The sucky part is PLD is now in the Canadian division...

It doesn't make any difference to me. We've already faced McDavid, Drai, Tavares, Matthews.

 

[HostileCapSpace]

Okay, I have to go lurk in the Winnipeg thread...

 

[GHJimmy]

Oh thank god! Thank you Winnipeg, I'd like to thank my dog too for sleeping with me as Bergevin says get a dog if you want loyalty.. jokes aside Winnipeg overpaid hahahahaha

 

[The Real Guy Lafleur]

The sucky part is PLD is now in the Canadian division...

I prefer Laine being out of our division

 

[Habidelidoo]

Laine no more in the North division is good news.

See you in 3 years PLD when you hit UFA

 

[sampollock]

CLB are dead... no centre's we see , who knows

 

[beowulf]

YEs he is off to the 'Peg no more distraction and annoying trade suggestions

 

[BLONG7]

Lmao Colombus is going to be so terrible with that garbage center line its literally as bad as our DD days

lol dats second guessing!! lol

 

[blarneylad]

Still not a first line center. We need a 80 point center not a 2nd liner

At 22 he can’t get better? Tell that to Sheifele who hit 60 points for the first time at 22. Now he is ppg. Players primes aren’t as teens and early 20 something. It’s 24-30 years.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Drouin stays....

 

[llamateizer]

3rd pick is going TO Winnpeg.

Laine for PLD
Roslovic for 3rd round pick

it's fair

 

[Kwikwi]

I prefer Laine being out of our division

PLD will be more a nightmare than Laine to handle. It made Winnipeg stronger in the PO imo

 

[ZUKI]

Never have I ever pretended to be an expert. Perhaps you weren’t here for the many years of the overbearing, never right but always argumentative McCagg? He posted here a ton, and always ended things off by claiming he was a scout so he was right. Then he rode off into the sunset with Brian Wilde to form a super website and hasn’t been back. And like I said, he was right once in awhile, but it was rare, and even a blind dog will find a bone. Once in awhile.

yes i was there and i think that his reputation was really tarnished by a HF member i won't name. I know that one off season he was very high on a suspect prospect, that never delivered , but he hasn't been that bad or wrong. And yes, sometime, he was right talking about wanna be scouts of this forum, that think they are better then real scouts by looking highlights on YouTube.

 

[Adam Michaels]

3rd pick is going TO Winnpeg.

Laine for PLD
Roslovic for 3rd round pick

it's fair

Roslovic with a 2-year deal included, too. So not a bad get for Columbus.

Let's just use the out of town thread now.
