<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Howie</b></div><div>That doesn't mean that he was confirmed to resign they took a gamble and it paid off just because the price was know doesn't change the fact that he could have said no. Also they're isn't anything said that Dubois can't be moved as a rental and resign literally is up to him. I just think he would be missing out on 2n plus if he limits himself to mtl. 9m in less tax state vs mtl. Tbh if Dubois isn't traded this summer to mtl I'd probably kiss the chances of getting him goodbye as he either gets extended with the team that does trade for him or gets a better contract as a ufa. Literally the whole mtl fan base is basing everything with Dubois on the whim that they can get him for a decent contract at ufa to not give up assets. They probably have to spend 10m plus tbh if he even makes it there. You do realize that a return like that for Dubois just isn't enough for what he brings right there's no value in a mid to late first which realistically becomes maybe a bottom 6 player and a prospect that is in the same boat. Yk rental prices aren't capped right? Dubois could get 4 1sts and still leave a team. The whole point is just because you think it's too much for a rental doesn't change the fact that it can be a rental. Teams can overpay for someone yk. So this whole bs it's too much makes no sense if every team wanted him and there was a bidding war knowing that he may not resign yk he'd Still get a lot just based on desire and scarcity. So all in all it's your opinion that it's too much not that it's a fact that rentals can't have that type of cost. So basically you're wrong here again lol 😁</div></div>

So your argument on why MTL should pay a premium for a year and a half of Dubois, years that they won't be competitive even with him, is that once he is a UFA he may not want to play there? Even if they trade for him he could walk anyway, and he would have done nothing to help the team due to them being in the middle of a rebuild, while the trade would actively hurt them because of the lost assets. Also, none of that 'well they could just flip him next TDL' junk, there's way to much risk he wouldn't recoup the spent assets, he could get injured, his numbers likely drop from being on a rebuilding team, he could regress, etc.. Jets and Habs fans need to accept the fact that a Dubois trade to MTL isn't a good fit unless Dubois agrees to a long term extension.
Sorry for the edit. You brought up the tax difference, which is a factor, but MTL is one of the league's wealthier teams and can front load with bonuses, and more money early would mean more money for him to invest which would help offset the tax difference by a decent amount.
