Another Dubois Trade

Created by: jonh514
Team: 2023-24 Montreal Canadiens
Initial Creation Date: Jan. 21, 2023
Published: Jan. 21, 2023
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
In this post I am proposing the Habs pay a premium return on PLD. Let me clarify my position:

1) I do not believe PLD is going to give up millions of dollars by refusing to consider UFA offers in 2024 by any team but the Canadiens. That would be really foolish and put him personally in a big position of weakness. Look at Gaudreau as an example of this not happening the way the home team expected it to

2) PLD just took a 1 year "bet on himself" contract. There is a huge risk for premium players when they do that. They can have a poor run. They can get injured. They can put themselves in a very bad position so it's typically high risk, high reward. He just did it 1 year and "won his bet", I doubt very much he does it again.

3) If he hits UFA and plays as well as he's played this year, he's going to command 10M in an offseason where the cap is going up significantly. This is the last chance for any team to sign him around 8 - 9M.

He's a great player. He's been surprisingly healthy and consistent while playing a physical game. He's a hometown boy and he wants to play here. Get it done Kent!

Depending on where that Florida pick lands I don’t hate it. I think Dvo could be a solid addition. Ideally I’d like a different prospect than kidney. I could see jets maybe acquiring horvat this year so perhaps losing Dubois won’t hurt as bad.

I'm assuming 10-12 based on SOS.

Pretty decent offer. Not a huge fan of Kidney though. Roy is of interest, or take out the 2nd and Kidney and add Dach or Barron?
Dach(Barron) /FLA 1st/DV for salary purposes?

I think Dach & Barron are "Hughes guys". Trading either of them away is kind of an implicit admission that you made a mistake and it's too soon for that. I'm not arguing value here, just the situation.

Also adding... Kidney has 13 points in 5 games since being traded from a bad team to a good team in the Q. He has some things to work on like skating, but the hockey sense is NHL-level and in an offensive role.

Yeah I mean, depends on if jets have someone in that range that they are very high on. Also depends on if they’ve added someone like horvat.

You're not paying a premium, you're paying the bare minimum rental price. Unlikely the Jets accept that at the draft as Dvorak and Kidney have little to no value to Winnipeg.

The Jets would just move him for pieces they want.
