Vinny in Vancouver Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Summary, the Habs can lust all they want, but he's not coming home unless they somehow manage to undo the PK Subban trade and give up PK Subban for PLD: They already have their franchise Frenchman in Drouin. Just about 1 year ago, a lot of people (in this forum and others) were talking about how Pierre Luc Dubois was a bust for getting cut by the CBJ and for not producing the same numbers for his old team so much so that he got traded and not producing enough in the World Juniors. Never mind the fact that after he got traded, his numbers had immediately spiked. Good lesson in having a bit more patience in prospects. Here's a good article on his progress: https://www.nhl.com/news/pierre-luc-dubois-confident-at-world-junior-summer-showcase/c-290543004 Here's how foundational Columbus thought about him during the draft, and I don't think that has changed.

Kukilinan, Jackets GM was on the radio the other day and just gushing about him. He was like a new father going on and on about his first born. Nice, very nice.

Yip. It probably would of taken Subban to pry him out of Columbus. Just isn't going to happen. And I don't blame them. Kid reminds me of Getzlaf.

oldnews Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 The Habs don't have the assets. And after the Drouin deal, the losses of Markov and Radulov (in part because of the Drouin deal) - the ill-advised dealing of Sergachev - not sure they should be looking for another round of Bergevin deals - even if the target is a better one. The CBJ would be bent to deal Dubois for what the Habs could offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would just use it to hopefully find another PLD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plekanec will also be off the books at the end of the season - that's an additional 6M. nvmd - looks like I was wrong about that. they appear to have 8 million presently as well - but they have Weber and his 7.86 out - I suppose the cap relief is not showing though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flickyoursedin Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 1 hour ago, mll said: What happened between Drouin - Radulov? Radulov turning 30 and hitting the market where he was looking for max term and dollars he could get. I guess Montreal didn’t want to lock Radulov up on his asking price. He did settle for 5 years at 6.25 mill a year. In all fairness to the Canadiens he was chasing 7 years and 7+ million but eventually settled with Dallas for probably a price Montreal would have paid.

flickyoursedin Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 This whole PLD stuff has to be media. There’s nothing Montreal has that is more valuable to CLB then PLD. The Montreal media love the French Canadians and always try to stir up rumours on all the good ones. I mean all 30 other teams have interest in PLD but all 30 teams know he’s off the market.

Rumours were the Canadiens wanted him bad. Wonder if the habs had a deal to move in on 5 if he was there. Are you a scout? What was this draft order for?
