Quoting: mondo
If I'm Columbus, I'm asking for Suzuki or Kotkaniemi. They'll want a centre with more years to provide and better contract control.
Danault is a no go even with an extension.
Dont think theyll get a better offer than one centerd around Danault from MTL. What would other teams offer that is better than Danault, Guhle, a first and another solid asset?
CGY : Monahan (younger than Danault but he's been kinda terrible those last two seasons based on CGY fans on this site) + Pelletier + a first pick. Thats the only offer Id see as a better one, but is CGY willing to pay that?
NYR : Division rival so the price goes up plus they dont have any established C to offer. Chytil (Ok potential but he's not a 1C or a 2a in the making tbh) + Schneider + a first + something else of value. That offer is often on the table from NYR fans but I feel like this would means a rebuild for CLB which Jarmo doesnt want.
WPG : Laine. But then you have great depth at W and Domi as your only top 6 C... Not a great situation if you ask me.
ANA : Honestly, other than Zegras or Drysdale (which ANA would never part with) I dont see how ANA could acquire Dubois.
So, MTL is the right fit... Even though our team is perfectly fine as it is
