Description
Dubois Is Gone…
Get The Best In Return for him, you’ll never get what he is worth but you can’t let him walk. Montreal will probably low-ball a offer but I think the jets could pull off this deal. Dach is a 3rd OA player and plays a somewhat similar style to PLD & Barron is a quality prospect and who doesn’t love a brother duo (Pick evens out). Winnipeg fan will say too low, Montreal fans will say too high, so this is a compromise for both.
I’m probably alone on this but Bo Horvat would be a good fit in Winnipeg. If he signed a long term extension you’d be looking at Winnipeg’s new captain, and this I believe is far value if not overpaid.
I also fixed up a couple little things like backup goaltending and signings.

Captains:
(C) Horvat
(A’s) Morrissey, Schiefele, Lowery (Rotation)

Coaches:
(HC) Bowness (2-Year 2.5 Mil Extension)
(Asst C’s) Boudreau (Assistant until he gets a HC Job elsewhere)

    That doesn't get Dubois and Horvat isn't signing in Winnipeg, so the Jets shouldn't give up that much for him at the TDL.

    If I'm Montreal I don't give you a thing I wait because I know he's coming to Montreal after next season. You want an outside the box option. Keep him for the playoffs this year, sign him to a 1 year deal his last as a rfa in the off-season then retain half of the salary and trade him at the draft for as much as you can get. Someone might give you a boat load for him at half price for a single season.

    To me, that situation is very similar to the Trouba trade a few years ago. Even the two GMs involved are the same (Cheveldayoff for WPG and Gorton for MTL)

    If Dubois wants to play for MTL only, they don't have to give Dach for him. A mid 1st and a good prospect should be enough. That's what it cost for Trouba.

    Now, if Dubois list more than one or two teams he would play for, that changes everything. He would be worth alot more.

    Dubois is haven by a very good year and is a talented guy, but due to the amount of leverage Montreal has I highly doubt Dach is an option. I wouldn’t include Cole, Zukes, Slaf, Dach, Guhle in any trade for Dubois for the simple fact I’m comfortable enough we can get him as a UFA in 2024
