Quoting: ElectroMan
The whole trade hinges on Winnipeg not being able to work out a contract with Dubois. Similar to the situation with ROR & Colorado that I referenced. You wouldn't get either the 9th pick or Cozens in that scenario.
I wouldn’t get too excited/concerned (depending on what side you are on) about Dubois not being signed by Cheveldayoff at this point.
Some Jets RFAs were signed before the offseason: Morrissey, Ehlers, Lowry (2)
Some were signed in the early-to-mid offseason: Appleton, Copp (2), Harkins, Hellebuyck (2), Pionk (2), Trouba, Scheifele, Wheeler
Some were signed late: Morrissey, Connor, Kane, Laine, Trouba
Signing before training camp is obviously good, but even signing late isn't necessarily bad sign. Connor and Kane missed some training camp before signing their 7yr and 6yr extensions, respectively. Morrissey signed both late and early. The downside is Laine and Trouba and I haven't heard any messaging from Dubois (or his agent) that sounded like Trouba or Laine at the time. Still plenty of time for things to play out and I doubt anything will happen until a head coach is hired.
