Yesterday on BPM Sports, Martin Lemay and Yvon Pedneault had an interesting discussion about the major statement made by renowned Elliotte Friedman concerning Pierre-Luc Dubois and the Montreal Canadiens.
The name of Arber Xhekaj was notably mentioned in a proposed trade.
"Would you give your first (2023 Panthers' pick) and Arber Xhekaj? (to acquire Pierre-Luc Dubois)" - Martin Lemay
See Pedneault's response:
"I think so."
You can guess that this answer caused a strong reaction and "made the station's text messaging explode."
Pedneault then explains that there can still be a host of developments along the way and by next summer.
He adds that the Canadiens have a group of very high-level (young) defensemen in the organization, including Logan Mailloux, Kaiden Guhle, Lane Hutson, and others.
"It's clear that one of them will leave, eventually."
"(That's why) I would be willing to trade one of the Canadiens' young defensemen to acquire Dubois."
Yvon Pedneault
Do you agree with him? Would you trade Xhekaj and the 1st pick of 2023 (Panthers' pick) for Pierre-Luc Dubois?
