There is no way MTL overpays to get him when they can sign him as a UFA after next season.

WPG and their fans deserve fair value for Dubois. Unfortunately the player has made that near impossible. The whole league knows where he wants to play.

The most likely scenario is that Dubois is traded to a contender at next year’s deadline, and signs in MTL as as a UFA after next season.

No from Winnipeg. Guhle as an LHD and good as he is, isn't needed. Dach is an okay winger, but isn't good enough to make up the difference. There just isn't enough value there as the Jets would get more for Dubois as a pure rental at next years TDL.

No for both.

Dach is playing as a solid possession player with a projected 50-55pts this year and as a 21 year old. My guess is, on a team like the jets, he would've easily been a 60-70pt player.

Guhle, as a 21 year old is already a solid top 4 option and projects as a top pair dman.

Dubois is at a PPG production right now and the Jets need to win now. Trading him away doesn't really help them, although they would get tons of talent with Dach and Guhle

The Jets need to trade him at the draft if he doesn't want to sign a long term deal. He might be happy playing for the NYR, Kings or Bruins as well as the Canadiens.

ISLAND JET: I tend to agree with most of your takes on the Jets, but a Dubois trade seems like it makes the most sense at the trade deadline next year when he's a UFA.

I just can't see any team giving up fair value for him when they know he's likely to not re-sign with them. He would be a solid add for any team's playoff run next year. It's an unfortunate situation for the Jets and their fans.

If it does happen at the draft this June, perhaps there'll be another team with a player of similar value that they can't re-sign for some reason. Whatever happens I hope the Jets get a fair deal.

The most likely scenario if Dubois won't resign for more than one year with the Jets this summer, is that the Jets trade him this summer.

They'd likely let his agent talk to teams where he is willing to sign long term and the Jets would take the best offer from those teams.

Why doesn't Montreal keep Dach, keep gruhle and just sign PLD as a free agent instead of giving up anything?
