Description

This would be the only trade I would consider for Dubois, if not you wait another year. You might lose him to free agency for more money but I would not overpay for Dubois.

2023 Draft

Will Smith or Ryan Leonard (the closest thing we'll ever get to a Brady Tkachuk)

Harvey Pinard will want another year to bet on himself before signing a long-term deal

Pierre Engvall is a very much underrated player

Have cap space to acquire additional picks at Trade Deadline

That wouldn't be considered for PLD, so Montreal misses out.

WPG doesn't want Dvorak. The 1st round pick (protected) in 2024 is not ideal either. WPG gives Dubois to a rival of MTL in hopes he signs long term and MTL loses out for being such dicks to deal with.

Sure, Dubois wants to play in MTL, but MTL doesn't have to keep offering garbage in return. Karma will bite them for that.

Canes aren’t giving up 29OA and their top RHD prospect for an overpaid winger with a garbage deal who hits.

Pass on PLD, OS him then WPG matches and we sign him as a UFA in a year since they can trade him after matching. WPG fans are going to be so disappointed with reality.

You're going to be shredded for the other trades btw, they favour MTL.
