Karine Hains: In Hainsight: Not the End of the World Apparently, the Los Angeles Kings are the front runner in the Dubois derby…

Some might just feel a pinch though if the Kings do end up getting Dubois, especially since they've also got Danault down the middle.

Like I said in the previous blog.

All good, let's move on.

I am sure hUgo will have something interesting to surprise us in the next week or so.

Koiptar is at the end of the road, makes sense for LAK to get PLD.

Yeah, he has 2 maybe 3 solid to good years ahead.

Pretty sure Danault is eating pizza and cursing right now, though. Unless they plan to use PLD on the wing for a few years.

if PLD can get 9M per in LA he should jump on it. he's not getting that in Mtl imo.

You say hogo, I say hUgo.

well I guess that depends if they're counting on Kopitar to always be in the top 6, I have no clue how he's holding up physically but you'd think at some point he'd be playing a less predominant role, or at least not have him as their go-to guy night in night out.

You say hogo, I say hUgo.
- Mashadar

nah bro, you say HoGo.

you do.

Pretty sure you changed hUgo to hogo.

yes, just now I did, but not the other times, you brought up HoGo all by yourself.

is that how you really feel, or you're just saying this now that it's looking like he might not land in MTL after all..?

he would make the team a lot better, but yeah, not ready to pay what WPG is looking for. let see if he's a UFA 12 months from now.

- Pat1993

I mean, for a reasonable price, I'd be interested.
...but it's going to cost the Habs a lot to bring him here, plus if he's really asking for 9M$ a year...Not worth it to be honest.

The guy also kinda carries red flags so far.

yeah, I don't totally get what all the fuss is about considering the specific situations he was in, the first time he asked for a trade he was playing under Tortorella, and now today there's a bunch of players that all want out of WPG at the same time. there's been leadership issues in the peg for years, way before PLD was even there.

some folks are literally panicking at the idea of having him play with the habs, saying he's a cancer in the room or some poop, what is this based on ..??

I don't think he is a cancer, but I also feel that he shown a pattern of being frustrated / unhappy fairly quickly in new environments.

Not sure if that is location, salary, playing time, how he is used... whatever.

There is some risk / gamble beyond the contract and assets given up.

yeah that's the thing, I don't think this qualifies really as a "pattern", unless he was trouble with his junior teams as well... but whatever, people are gonna have their preconceived take on things no matter what, they're not gonna wait for more factual information.

Well, it is nice to talk about a player that might want to come here, rather than a player that has never shown interest in coming here....

- Mashadar

sure but then again, there's a certain number of fans that think he never had the intention of coming here, and that he's only been using MTL as leverage in his search for a contract, which doesn't really add up as we've talked about briefly earlier...
