<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>He would not be the first player in the modern era to clash with Torts. Torts is an old school coach and these are sensitive times. The culture in hockey needs to change anyway if we are going to have true superstars like in other leagues. That video of Therrien screaming at Subban, for example, made me sick.

The kid dreams of playing in his home town, close to his home and family. He didn't whine about it. He comes to work everyday and has grown to be the top center on a very talented team, and has been professional since day one, including giving the team maximum visibility into his intentions to leave.

Choosing not to sign a long term extension is an incredibly brave thing for a player to do. You are trying to paint it in a negative light, but who is taking the risk: The player, it's all on the player. If he gets an extended, season, or career-ending injury, he is risking 10s of millions of dollars. The team will get assets for him in trade one way or another.

I think the important thing to recognize is that he will not take another 1-year deal. It would be crazy for him to leave all that money on the table and take all that risk a second time.</div></div>

Ok So he had it out with torts, I dont care about that it was HOW he handled it, demanded a trade, fine, but then while they tried to appease him, and he was still under contract to play, he would go on the ice and just do nothing, just skate around....He acted like a spoiled child. So No, I have ZERO, NO interest in that type of player on the team. Yeah good on him for informing Management he has no intentions to sign an extension, which means, he WANTS to go to Free Agency, SO WHY WOULD HABS FANS WANT TO TRADE FOR HIM and give away prospects when he has made it CLEAR he wants to test FREE AGENCY, that is absolutely foolish to do that...Habs will probably try and Sign him, but he isnt stupid, he knows the tremendous pressure he would be in, playing for the Habs, fans will eat him alive first time he goes in a slump. He would be better off signing elsewhere. IF the Habs do get him, I will obviously cheer for his success, I just dont see the point in giving up picks and prospects for him, if he wants to test free agency.

PLEASE OH PLEASE Just EFFING STOP with the DUbois rumors......Listening to Habs fans creaming their panties over him is enough to turn your stomach.....I am a Habs fan and for the LIFE of me I cannot understand WHY everyone wants him....We are a rebuilding team, and you want to give up on the future we procured, to throw it all at a guy who in ONE year can just walk out the door, are all you guys delusional, simple, few nuggets short of a happy meal?? Like Smarten the EFF up......PLD is NOT and i repeat is NOT Worth it. PLD, cried and whined his way out of columbus because of the coach, the guy wouldnt even try when he was on the ice, it was so bad Torts had to bench him.....Once he is traded He informs management I have no intentions of staying so I wont be signing and extension, goes to Show loyalty to a team wiling to give him a fresh start, he wants to test free agency....SO WHY do Habs fans think he is going to stay in Montreal? Because he is French? He knows he will be ripped apart in Montreal, all he needs do is look at what Fans and Media done to Drouin. (Another player who whined to get traded, how well that work out for us??)......PLD playing in Winnipeg, has played with VERY VERY talented players, Wheeler, Connor, Scheifele, Ehlers, Statsny, and hasnt been able to score 30 goals in a season, hasnt been able to get a 65 pt season, and you expect him to come to montreal and play with what we have and expect him to what?? Be a Number 1 center and score a 100 pts?? C'Mon man give ya head a shake, stop the whole French Superstar BS......He is Not worth It.
