I'm sure that we'd all love to ship DuBois off somewhere so the return is secondary, but as a practical matter, I don't think Blake, Robitaille and Bergevin can admit this mistake and keep their jobs.

I seriously wouldn't consider trading Mojo straight up for PLD. And that's WITH retention on PLD. That's how much I hate the idea of it.

There's literally no chance I give either Rossi (not even in the worst Armageddon imaginable would I consider this) or Gustavsson (same deal) in a PLD swap.

As you correctly stated, he's a malcontent, one that Minnesota should never consider or be brought up again.

Furthermore, Rossi is literally PLD, but with a team first attitude and an actual NHL caliber work ethic. It's on par with JEE's really. The F*** are you moving him for that malcontent for?

The only way I could ever stomach this is if we got him fully retained, plus their next two 1st's, for Merrill.

Unreasonable and Unrealistic, I know. But that's how I feel.

I feel your pain. But can't help you there. 🤷‍♂️

Good point.
