Thread: Dubois trade
As a Habs fan, this is an overpay: 2 top prospects plus a mid 1st rounder for PLD when we could sign him for free 12 months later.

It's clear that Montreal is his #1 choice and that there's little chance that he signs with WPG.

For Dubois, I'd give up Josh Anderson (who's locked in for 4 years at a reasonable price) plus our early '23 2nd rounder and a B level prospect. WPG might look elsewhere but not sure WPG will get full value from the other 30 teams given that Montreal is his #1 choice. As much as I'd love having PLD, we've already got Suzuki, Dach and Beck so it's not like this is a glaring need. I'd throw in Dvorak if WPG wants to take on his contract, but not sure that they'd want him. Habs are not going overpay just to deal with the risk that WPG trades him somewhere in '23 and he likes it and signs long term.
