Acquiring Pierre-Luc Dubois won’t come cheap
TSN: Darren Dreger said there is lots of trade interest in Winnipeg Jets forward Pierre-Luc Dubois, and acquiring won’t be cheap.
“However, if the New York Rangers, the Montreal Canadiens or another team intends on landing Dubois, it’s going to take a very substantial offer. So, if we’re looking at the Rangers, we’re looking at Chytil, we’re looking at Schneider, we’re looking at Kakko as one of the main principles and maybe a first-round draft pick on top of that. Otherwise, I don’t think that Winnipeg’s has the stomach to move Dubois this off-season.”
Avs to talk to Nazem Kadri next week
TSN: Darren Dreger said Nazem Kadri is just focusing on celebrating their Stanley Cup win, but soon it will switch to free agency. Colorado Avalanche GM Joe Sakic will make him a priority, but can they afford him.
“Can Colorado afford the price tag of $8 million to $9 million on an annual average salary? Well, we’re going to find out. There will be extension talks with the Avs early next week. Also early next week, I’m told that we can expect the Kadri camp to whittle down the list. It needs to be a family fit. So if it’s not Colorado, then what does that list look like? They’ll attack that early next week.”
