Description
This is my opinion btw so it’s all correct. I am ranking all the teams LeBrun mentioned plus Vegas cuz they’re always players for everyone and their mothers.
Trades
1.
CBJ
MTL
    Still think Montreal is the most likely. It’s where he wants to be and I’m sure the canadiens would love him. Enough ab this “wElL SuZuKi iS bEtTer StuFf.” You could make an argument for that ig, but there’s nothing wrong with have not one but two fantastic centers (or centre’s for you Montrealers out there.) Pens had Crosby-Malkin, caps had Backstrom-Kuzy (talking ab cup winners here.) And no, I don’t think the Habs will need to give up suzuki. I think KK is probably the one who goes in a package. But I’m not making trade packages here, so I don’t need to worry ab being flamed for having slightly too much value in a trade for PLD ?

    OTT
      The sens got the assets, they got the need for a 1C, this may be a match made in heaven. In fact, if it weren’t for Mr. Eugene Krabs, whoops, Melnyk, I might have the sens as the #1 most likely team to get him. They will certainly be players and a trade for PLD could set the sens up for a bright future in the capital of Canada.

      CBJ
      NYR
        If the rangers get him I’ll lose my mind. With that being said, Jeff Groton doesn’t care about my feelings, so he’ll probably be a player a big contender for landing Dubois. Some rags fans may be surprised when they give up a lot more than Tony D and Strome though.

        CBJ
        VGK
          Yeah yeah ik LeBrun didn’t mention Vegas’ name but whatever. They get everyone. They could probably work out a solid package (definitely including one of Glass or Krebs) and they definitely have a need for center depth. Honestly, if they landed Dubois, they might be one of the best teams in the league on paper.

            Nothing would bring me more joy than to see the Wild land Dubois. I’m drooling at the thought of a Kaprizov-Dubois-Fiala line. The wild are a pretty big market so no concerns there, and they have some underrated pieces that could be the centerpiece of a PLD trade.

            CGY
              Calgary imo is a big dark horse to land PLD. A monahan-Dubois trade could work (with Calgary probably adding in a bit more.) It would give the flames the shakeup of their core I think they need. I think this would be a fun trade to talk about with other fans too for years after it happened, like the Subban-Weber deal.
              7.
              CBJ
              ANA
                Anaheim would be cool, but I don’t see it happening. I feel like the ducks don’t have that piece that isn’t untouchable yet it’s valuable enough to trade (Zegras, for example, is untouchable.)
                8.
                CBJ
                DET
                  Detroit is an interesting one for sure, but they kinda have the same problem as Anaheim with the added fact that they’ll be rebuilding for quite a few more years even if they had PLD.
                  9.
                  CBJ
                  WPG
                    Not sure if Winnipeg is a good enough market to satisfy Princess Pierre’s wants and needs. A trade based around Laine and PLD would sure be a fun shakeup to the hockey world though. This is a trade I feel like everyone wants to see happen, but it’s unlikely that it will
                    10.
                    CBJ
                    WSH
                      Doubt this happens, some will say Kuzy-Dubois would work, but as soon as the trade would happen Kuzy would be benched by Torts.
                      11.
                      CBJ
                      BUF
                        Buffalo would be cool too, but I don’t think there’s much of a fit trade value wise.
                        12.
                        CBJ
                        PHI
                          I feel like Philly’s center situation is already figured out, and idk if they have that tradeable piece that would fetch PLD. I imagine Fletcher was just doing his job by kicking tired on Dubois.

                            If this trade happens I’ll buy a rangers jersey. This isn’t happening because:
                            A. If PLD didn’t like Columbus as a market, how would he feel about going to Arizona (spoiler alert: probably not too good)
                            B. What are they gonna trade to get him

                            I dont see MTL and OTT happening unfortunately. All players would require 2 week quarantine

                            i think norris is untouchable for ottawa so id probably drop us down tbh as thats probably the centrepiece for the deal. the fit is great and the age works but im not sure dorions willingness to move him

                            Agreed about NYR... ADA won't be involved. He may get dealt elsewhere to get assets to fill the trade with a Strome++++ package

                            in the grand scheme of things though 14 days is almost nothing. Screws up this season i agree but the seasons already screwed up

                            Also I see NYR/LA/MIN as the likely destinations due to border issues

                            I'd love him, but do we have the pieces to get a deal done? Probably not. Teams like MTL or NYR have much more enticing assets to Columbus. We also probably don't have the cap to sign him long term unless Dumba is part of the deal and Columbus doesn't need Dumba

                            MTL isnt trading KK for Dubois... Capwise it wouldnt work and the upside of KK is bigger even though Dubois is theoritically better rigjt now as he is 2 years older.

                            MN has the pieces, if everything is on the table. They wouldn't be selling the farm or anything but losing one of Kaprizov, Fiala, or JEE as the main piece going back would hurt.

                            It's only 14 days of a 114 day season, which is approximately 12.3% of the season, of this one season. Then there's next season, and so on. It might make a difference for teams in a tight division, but it's really no different than a player being injured for 2 weeks. There is the taxi squad to compensate.

                            As much as I don't want PLD on the Habs I fear the you are probably right about them getting him. I don't want to give up KK either if we are trading for PLD. I unfortunately am not MB therefore I have no say in what happens with the Habs. At the end of the day I think PLD to the Habs would be a bad move especially if he is turning into a locker room cancer. Imagine his attitude rubbing off on Suzuki or Caufield or someone else.

                            Montreal would have to give up one of Suzuki, Romanov, or Caufield to start a trade with Dubois. If I'm Montreal I'd much rather trade Caufield especially since they have Gallagher, Toffoli, Anderson long term on the right side

                            agree with pretty much all of this. I think Montreal, Calgary, la and New York are most likely. not Ottawa since it isn't a big market and melnyk

                            And then Bowman swoops in and offers Strome, Beaudin and our 2023 1st rounder for him and Columbus accepts wow! Good job Stan!

                            Sounds like Jarmo doesn't want futures so I'd imagine the ask would be Fiala

                            I did hear that but I don’t think there’s a hockey deal out there that both Jarmo and another GM would make maybe besides Monahan from Calgary

                            why would Jarmo care where Dubois wants to play? MTL as a trade destination isnt the most likely based on that.

                            Scheifele plays 24m a night (2nd most for forward) and Stasny is pointless. Dubois is needed by Winnipeg (and per sources wanted). If the fit is there that's it, he can't control that
