(Speculation) Pierre Luc Dubois May want out


Pears

Recommended Posts

He was who I wanted at 5th OA, when he was gone at 3 I was really disappointed. That being said, we are pretty much set on our centers and we don't really have room for him here. Plus even if we bring him here, there is no way we can afford him given our current future cap structure.

They would need a top line center in return so a tough trade to make. But this could get interesting. PLD is a stud and Benning and company looked shocked when Columbus picked him. I think JB and company though he'd fall to us. 

becasue the was going to trade that pick and horvat for subban if he fell to us, glad that didn't happen

Same in the draft.

 

It would likely have to be Boeser + going the other way (and one of the few players I'd actually consider trading Boeser for). And that doesn't solve their losing a C though.

 

Imagine a first line of:

 

Miller, Dubois, Pettersson though..

He probably, if he had complete control, would want to play elsewhere.  However, to trade a player like this, would devastate the franchise.  He is a big, skilled, 1st line center.  One of the rarest things in hockey.  Very difficult to acquire.  I think they would ask for Horvat and Boeser +.   He is not going anywhere because nobody will pay what it takes and not many teams have the cap space to sign him.

I am sure other teams would outbid us... but yeesh that would be a good add.  There aren't a lot of guys worth moving Petterson back to wing... but he would be one of them.

It would likely take one of Podkolzin or Hoglander, plus a 1st, plus something else like a roster player.  Do-able if they could take on some salary.

Boeser + makes sense. But that would push Bo down to 3rd line center position. We don't currently don't have much top 6 calibre natural wingers, so we would need to fill a hole on roster if we trade away Boeser. CBJ will likely rather Horvat+ as they are losing a center and they would want a center back. Either way, it's not a trade I would want to make.

Not necessarily. Have PLD center Miller and Pettersson and Horvat stays as the 2C. Unlikely though as he would cost more than what we could afford to trade.
