Pierre-Luc Dubois and the Montreal Canadiens: renowned Elliotte Friedman has just added fuel to the fire
The Pierre-Luc Dubois case is a sensitive issue among Montreal Canadiens fans.
While many would like to see him in the Blue-White-Red uniform, others are less certain. His performance during last Thursday night's game, which ended in a Jets loss and playoff elimination, empowers the skeptics.
Jets head coach Rick Bowness was quite critical following his team's loss and targeted his supposed top players. It can be understood that Dubois is one of the players targeted.
It would not be surprising if major changes happen this summer in Winnipeg. Could we see a significant shakeup in the Manitoba lineup? With many players entering their final season next year, it would be the ideal time.
On this subject, Elliotte Friedman added fuel to the fire in his recent podcast regarding Dubois coming to Montreal.
He claims that the Quebec native could very well agree to a one-year contract (as an offer sheet) with another NHL team as there is significant interest.
It should be remembered that the Canadiens are somewhat handcuffed to make such an offer since they do not have all the draft picks required by NHL regulations.
Seeing PLD leave Winnipeg for a season to join another team other than the Canadiens carries risks for Montreal.
As Marc-Olivier Beaudoin points out, the forward could fall in love with his new city and forget about the Canadiens and his complete free agency at the end of the next season.
This case will not stop making headlines anytime soon.
