7-1 close game yes

oh they are going to say you are giving away all of our trash... just watch.. it should be the flo pick and a prospect but we dont need to do more than that .. of course a pick and a prospect might interest contenders too so dubois might go elsewhere and then the habs can hope to sign him in a year.

There's no incentive for Winnipeg to do that.

in reality, who cares. Habs can wait another year. With no goalie, plus no established d partnerships, its hard to see them being urgent to improve. They can continue to suck for a while, let Suzuki, Caufield, Slaf, Guhle, Barron, Xhekaj, and prospects coming up like Mailloux, Hutson, etc. can become regular NHLer's before Hughes needs to go out and start bringing in everybody.

they also have zero leverage, so might as well take roster guys when that team is leaking oil more and more.

You may want to look up what an RFA is. Winnipeg is the only team with leverage and trading Dubois for nothing won't happen. Start with the Horvat trade and add from there with PLD being younger, better and having more team control.
