Description
I think we're headed to a bidding war for PLD. A few ideas that have been kicking around in my big dumb noggin:
- CBJ needs to get a young, high-upside player who is close to contributing
- CBJ would also need an established top-six forward coming back
- CBJ can weaponize some of its open cap space (can move Nyquist and Dubinsky to LTIR)

No doubt the Jackets would prefer quality to quantity in their return – they're looking to compete right now, so they'd have to replace part of PLD's short-term production while also replacing his future value.

The price would also be higher to send him to another eastern conference team – and especially another Metro division team (NYR).

                                      Dubois has pretty much closed himself in a tiny box. Wanting a trade this early in his career makes him a very unattractive add and now that he apparently wants to go to Montreal, it will be even harder for teams to want to pay a hefty price for him.

                                      My guess, he is either traded to Montreal or he works things out in Columbus and stays.

                                      Ehh, agree to disagree about him being an unattractive add. He's still a 22yo 1C with four RFA years making way under market value the next two years.

                                      Some people around here look at his stats and see a 60 point forward, but he's on a team that has struggled to create any offense for the last two-plus years and has an anemic power play. Putting him on a more free flowing team that has a good power play and IMO he's an 80-90 point forward who is ridiculously strong on the puck.

                                      First two rangers trades are not happening, third could work

                                      I have no doubt he'd be a good 60-70+ point guy, I disagree about 80-90. While I agree, he's very young, but at the same time he was on a line with Panarin and Atkinson who both had pretty crazy numbers in Columbus.

                                      That's not really the argument though. He wants to play for a big market with more coverage, so that writes off LA and eventually Vegas when Seattle comes as well as many other teams. Already teams are seeing him as a problematic player. Now he says he just wants to go to Montréal? Why would any team in their right mind trade a massive package for a kid that doesn't want to play for their team? Unless that team is Montreal which I think they should trade for him, but no Canadiens fans like the idea because of what it would cost. (Danualt extended + KK IMO)

                                      Like I said, he trapped himself in a box and made sure he has very few options. Columbus or Montreal and that's it IMO.
