Description
I don't know if theres many Habs fans out there who want to trade Florida's first for Dubois (including myself) when it seems written in the stars that he's going to be coming to MTL one way or the other but putting myself in the shoes of an NHL front office, when you have the opportunity to make your team better for both the near and long-term future you have to take it.

Such as the Rams said **** dem picks, the Habs have enough prospects cooking through the juniors, NCAA and Laval and although Florida's pick could be something nice, its not guaranteed to be a top 6 if not top 3 player such as Dubois so you take it.

Attracting talent to Montreal is difficult on its own with the media, weather, income tax and language barrier so when theres someone of Dubois' caliber willing to come you don't walk you run.

Fingers crossed this isn't Drouin 2.0.

It seems that way, but I see him as a 1B like Suzuki… a second line centre on a contender. I don’t see him moving the needle all that much

Dubois isn't groundbreaking. He'd be a solid 2C behind Suzuki. He isn't a superstar or anything, so I think if Montreal wanted to make a move for him before he reaches FA, they shouldn't break the bank to do it

For a long time I was against moving the Florida pick, but because its confirmed to be outside the top 15 I'm open to it.

I wouldn't make any move until a lot closer to the draft just in case we are able to win the lottery and get a top center. Also, there's a good chance a solid player will drop given how talented this draft is and how some GM's will like to go off the board.

With that said I'm totally open to moving it in a Dach like move, but I wouldn't mind targeting a goalie like Hart or someone else.

Change Norlinder, who does nothing for Winnipeg, to Beck and you'll have a competitive offer.

No chance PLD signs either lowball extension offer.

I agree he will come here but only with an extension that the habs arec omfortable with.. He is not better than suzuki and we wont pay him more.. so chevy will have to lets us negotiate with him and he will have to be reasonable on the dollars if not we dont do this deal.... Remember when you keep the 3 assets and use dach at center we dont need dubois and we wont let him mess up the cap strucure the way tavares did to toronto.. So caufield and dubois under suzuki cap hit or dubois plays somewhere else and we keep our three assets... So chevy could mess up the trade but so could dubois by asking for to much.

If you trade without an extension then dubois now has us over the barrell and can ask for the world as he knows we just lost 3 assets for him.. So dubois at 7.8 x 8 years and we trade no extension and we wait for another year
