Jackets would buyout Dubi before including Anderson as the prize for taking On Dubi’s Cap dump, when the Habs would just buy him out anyway.
Jackets will have $7.4M of Bob’s salary to work with, $6M of Panarin’s, $4M from a Dubi buyout, and with Texier now ready, Wennberg’s $4.9M would be traded.
Some more of these players just may stay and sign team friendly contracts to stay together. Look at Atkinson, Jones, and Jenner’s desire to play for less to keep a good team together.
On the near horizon is Foudy, Bemstrom, Fix-Wolenski, Gavrikov, and Merzlikens. Oh, and Dubois, who has dropped out of the spotlight a bit with the emergence of Duchene. Oh, and Dubois too.
I suspect Dubois is a bit fatigued (more mentally than physically) due to the 2 long seasons he has had, and he needs to work through the grind. No, Jackets aren’t interested in trading him either.
Jackets could send you a Wennberg for what CBJ needs most, picks, say a 2nd and a 6th. Or 3rd and a 5th.
