Montreal Leverage on Winnipeg for Dubois

Team: 2023-24 Montreal Canadiens
Initial Creation Date: Mar. 26, 2023
Published: Mar. 27, 2023
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
How little would Montreal need to give up to get Dubois? The leverage would seem to tilt heavily toward Montreal so it’s likely Montreal would give up well below market value for Dubois.

First of all, Montreal has far too many forwards, so an active roster player would definitely be part of the trade. Jets fans will not like this but Dvorak would likely go the other way. Dvorak is a two-way centre and can help fill the void from the loss of Dubois. It would also include a prospect, I would personally include Filip Mesar. Additionally, I’d include Calgary’s 1st round pick in 2025 but I could be convinced to move Florida’s pick as long as it is not a lottery pick.

***Montreal isn’t in any rush to acquire Dubois. They know that if they wanted him in 2024, they will have him. But, if Winnipeg doesn’t make a move, they’ll lose him for nothing. This trade is meant to be lopsided.***

Will Smith would be a good pick at 5th overall should the Habs not win either of the lottery draws. Great playmaking, can finish, and would be a complement to Suzuki. It remains to be seen whether he is an NHL centre or if the acquisition of Dubois shifts either of the to the wing down the road. If he Habs get Dubois and Smith, it would leave Montreal with 4 players in their top-6 that can play centre.

Yeah he may be a risk but fits a need more than someone like ylonen for example. It's a risk for sure and may be more my view but he is exactly what you'd want in a rhd prospect in a deal minus the scandal that surrounds him.

Rather give you Barron ngl. Probably more likely to be Xhekaj or Harris though.

I can also see Edmundson going to WPG instead of Dvorak, or along with Dvorak

Edmundson would have no role to play as he isn't pushing Morrissey Dillon Samberg or schmidt out. Not saying he wouldn't be useful but this would result in us taking less in a deal to send them out or even paying if the case which is not worth it.

I will not be the last to tell you the last thing Jets need is lhd we have 3 nhl caliber ones currently not playing in stanley, heinola and chisholm so both of those guys would do nothing for us.

We already have a lhd playing the right side so having 5 lhd would not be ideal not to mention pushing someone like Samberg or heinola from even playing. Roy would be a guy that would be a good add but most mtl fan like to say he's not available especially in Dubois deals.

Zero chance Winnipeg waits 3 drafts for the only piece with any value in the deal.

Right. That's what I thought.
