Description

The only reason the Habs should consider acquiring Dubois this summer is if he refuses to play anywhere else. In this scenario, the Habs would have levrage, and could probably acquire him for cheaper than expected. Although some teams have managed to salvage returns for similar players, like the Flames and Tkachuk, I don't think the Hughes and the Habs would consider a move that will cost them significantly less if they wait one more year. Obviously, the Jets won't want to move him for a smaller package, but if refuses to play for them, I think they will be forced to settle for a mediocre return.

Jets have no need for Anderson and is just extra fluff for padding the deal from a jets perspective. Switch him for Dvorak and and in maybe mesar and Mailloux?

Habs should just offer sheet sheet him for a year, let WPG match it, then sign Dubois next season when he's a UFA and the Habs rookies are more seasoned and ready to get competitive.

I honestly can't imagine PLD stays in Winnipeg after next year. He very clearly wants to play in Montreal

I'd arguably say that I'd prefer the os 2024 unprotected first and a 3rd is probably better than this offer lol
