You can’t win a cup with a 60 point player making $9M. The cap is going up but still not worth it.
If he is seriously asking for 9M$ he can play elsewhere.
Ya screw that even after the cap jump he isnt a 9 million guy
J’aurais un peu de misère à me justifier de payer plus pour PLD que le contrat de Suzuki…
Ils ont des points assez similaires les 2 dernières années, Suzuki est un peu plus jeune, mais un centre…
He is not a 9 million a year player, if he ask that, he can go fuck himself.
He never had a season with more than 65 points and this guy wants a better salary than the captain of the team?
He’s going to be a locker room cancer.
It was nice knowin ya
Well, there’s the door
Nah. Enjoy Arizona
If he wants 9M no thanks, his career high is 63 points
I think he’ll accept around 8-8.5M max, it’s still fair money
If he wants more than 8.5m/yr he can fuck off.
Career high points is 63, yeah he’s only 24, but the production doesn’t warrant what he’d get in free agency.
Forsberg signed 8.5 a year ago lol, Hintz also signed 8.5.
He’s worth 8 max.
Interesting tidbit in that same article: Apparently the Habs are not interested at all in Carter Hart. They say it’s a non-starter. I wonder why?
Key word is « likely », second thing is that Brisson is his agent and his well aware of Mtl preferred salary structure
I figured a guy who has been saddled in two markets where he clearly was unhappy would be more open to exploring options in places he would be happier by not hamstringing the team he would want to play for but I guess not? We will see
Asking and what he’ll get are two different things
If he wants 9M he can go fuck off
Honestly as much as I do want him on the team because of his talent I have a bad feeling that it could be our equivalent of signing Tavares
He’s gonna take a 8m »discount » to play in Montreal and he will like it.
Not sure if any tean would want to pay me him 9m with his reputation.
UFA player are always more expensive, Suzuki still had 3 RFA years on his contract.
I’m trying to find comparable for UFA center. Matt duchene signed for 8m in 2019 (58pts in 50 game the year before)

Did anybody actually expect Brisson to come out and say $9M for everybody but Montreal. If he goes to Montreal, then like $7.5M max.
$9M for a guy who has demanded trades from two teams now, no thanks.
Article comes out with rumours :
Fans : Fuck PLD
Chill out a bit, there is always some truth and some speculation in those
Ain’t no one giving this guy 9 mil even if it’s a contending team. Pierre Copium Dubois
2 things:
1. A player can *ask* for an amount, but that’s just negotiations; start high, settle in the middle.
2. Dubois has shown he can’t be relied upon for long term, twice already in his young career. GMs might be reluctant in committing that much money to him for a long time. He might have to settle for a little less than what he’s *asking* for, in Montreal or somewhere else.
Here is the other question before everyone panics: is there another team willing to pay 9M for him? He’s already wanted out of 2 teams (granted it was Columbus and Winnipeg – but still), not sure people would want to spend that much cap for someone who may not want to be there
This whole PLD thing is wild 😂😂 first he wants out, Jets fans angry, Habs fans love him
Rumour says he wants 9M, Habs fans angry
He managed to simultaneously anger both fan bases in 24 hours
On an 8 year deal id still do that, even though I think it’s a bit high for him. The cap is going to be going up in the next few years and more and more bad money is going to come off the books in the next few years, 9m a year is going to look and feel different for this team in 3-4 years. Now I don’t want Hughes to just open the chequebook for him obviously, see if they can get him down to the 8-8.5M range. But if they can’t and he’s dead set on 9 it’s not a dealbreaker for me
Wait, I just had a thought. Any chance this is PLD and his agent further weakening the leverage the Jets have to ensure that he gets traded to the Habs? If he makes it known that he’s looking for an overpay on his next contract then it might make teams that he would look to trade for him as a rental for a year with the hopes to convince him to stay less likely to trade for him if they know he’s looking to get paid more than he’s worth?
Apart from the cost of the contract, the other question mark here is what exactly we would be offering the Jets in trade for him. A lot of people were presuming that the Jets were going to be doing something like a rebuild and selling off a lot of their guys, but it sounds like they’re looking more to get immediately useful players, and I’m not sure what we could offer them that they’d consider attractive. Futures, sure, but if they don’t want futures, we don’t have anything that I’d care to part with.
Everyone needs to chill here and realize this is just a starting number in the negotiation. He likely can be signed for around 8, maybe a little more and that’s very much worth it. Solid UFA talent is expensive, but needed to build a contender.
I like PLD and I’d love to have him in Montreal. He does not deserve 9m/yr, especially when the two best players on the team are locked in at less than 8m. Caufield took 7.85 as a respect factor to Captain Nick’s 7.875. If he wants 9, let him go somewhere else.
Man, am I missing something with this guy? I don’t see it, at all. Nothing I’ve seen from him screams that he should be getting the hype that he has been getting. Maybe I’m way off base though, that would be pretty much on par for me.
Nah, no thanks. I think we could find someone better, and at a better salary than that.
With both Suzuki and Caufield’s contracts signed and just under 8 mil, it would be a shot at them if we signed him for 9.
What team will feel comfortable giving him 9 mil when all he has done for the past few years is pout, give up and express through every interlocutor his desire to be around family and play for Montreal? I would never feel confident or comfortable if I was any other team with him in my lineup. One bad shift, one bad coach, and he’s off to his corner to sulk. Gross. Just stay away HuGo.
Sounds like his agent planting ideas in the zeitgeist to try and negotiate as high a salary as possible, because he has factors working against having negotiation power. This is a tactic to balance those out a bit.
I take this as a positive sign.
If he won’t take a contract similar to suzuki than don’t sign him
Don’t sign good players to bad contracts.
He thinks he’s better than Suzuki
Lol then fuck him.
He isn’t worth more than Suzuki or Caufield. TBH I’ve never been impressed by him. He was utterly invisible in the Jets series against us in ’21.
9M$ hahahaha…. I’ll pass.
9M$ for one of the league biggest diva… no thanks
7.8m + 2m sponsorship deal with Bell…. I am sure other teams do this, right?
If you want more than the captain and lead goal scorer get bent buddy. I get the taxes are high but if money is all that matters to him then we don’t want him anyway!
9 millions dollars ?
Get outta here!
