This could be a very good team.

Savard trade makes zero sense for TB. With Cernak signed long term Perbix set Raddysh playing well and Thompson and Schmidt in Syracuse Rd won't be a need at all

Can you please clarify WHEN the trades happen? In 2023 or summer of 2024?

Also... I think he might prefer to retire than to leave MTL. He's got a young family and wants to raise them in french.

I'm gonna have a good hearty laugh if thats what Dubois gets traded for.

Prepare to start ROTFL.
when are people going to realize that the Jets have ZERO bargaining power when it comes to Dubois?????

The order of bargaining power when it comes to Dubois is as follows.

1. DUBOIS HIMSELF.... he and his agent command everything that moves forward at this point. From openly expressing a desire to play for the habs to to "in your face" signing a 1 year deal with the Jets....Dubois camp is in the driver's seat. Even if it's another team he's traded to ... he still holds command of the situation and sign ANOTHER 1 year deal till UFA status.

2. MONTREAL....Given the point above, Hughes will weaponize this in his favor and fleece the Jets to get a player who truly wants to play fir the habs.

3. ANY OTHER TEAM....points 1 and 2 make it clearly obvious that any other team negotiating with the Jets will
a. Have a clause to speak with Dubois camp first before any deal is finalized in order to get a read on his intentions and perhaps longevity with said club.
b. Once they figure out point that his interest would only be to sign a 1 year deal.....said team will also fleece the Jets in acquiring Dubois.

3. THE FANS..... whether it's this off-season or when he's a UFA.....the Montreal fan base has shown to be salivating at the opportunity to sign him. Not just because he's French Canadian but because he truly wants to play here. Montreal hasn't had someone openly willing to come to the team in forever.....think Tavars to Toronto

4. THE JETS......Face it.....no bargaining power whatsoever!!!! The longer they hold out on making this happen the worse it gets for them and they'll receive pennies on the dollar

While I don't totally disagree I don't think these GMs are looking to screw the other over, it is an old boys club after all, cant see the Habs or any other team aggressively trying to fleece the Jets.
