Dubios is an interesting name for a long term 2LC. Would a signed Nylander be of interest to them?

Nylander doesn’t play for Montreal

Western Canada and or Chevy needs to save his job?

You can sign him for free in a year. He's going to market. Forget the bullshit about Montreal, all that means is if the contracts are similar he'll choose Montreal but he's going to go where he'll get paid. Giving up any good NHL player for him just doesn't make sense with one year left. Picks and prospects, like a deadline deal because that's what they'll get at deadline anyway.

He changed careers, still gets some tibits here in there but nothing I would be confident enough to post

You only move assets if he will sign.

Already said he won't
Which is why the Jets beat reporters are out to lunch on anything they've floated. Dach? Yeah fuck right off, we'll talk to Dubois next summer.

Players say they won't but then a team in a city they want to play in throws 8x9.5 deal at them and they decide to do it.
Having spent his career in Columbus and then Winnipeg I would imagine being in a real city would be a big factor for him.

Todays article was insane. Mirtle spinning the Pens situation as as good or better than the Leafs because their core (including Guentzel and Shery) is cheaper and the have more cap space (after writing an article that the Le add a have 20-30 mil in cap space).
he’s a fanboy.

Dubas, meanwhile, inherits a Penguins team that had just 91 points last season, but which has a lot of salary-cap flexibility and a group of older stars led by Sidney Crosby who should easily be able to outperform their cap hits in the next two years.
A five-player core of Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang, Jake Guentzel and Bryan Rust earning only $32 million versus a five-player core of Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, Morgan Rielly, William Nylander and John Tavares earning $48 million?
Pretty intriguing. And pretty different challenges facing the new men in charge.
To me, it is not out of the question that these two teams are closer together in the standings in the coming years than they were this past season, depending on the moves they make this summer. Dubas has more work to do here, in terms of bad contracts to try to wipe out, but Treliving has tough negotiations ahead with most of his stars and a lot of holes to fill.
After years of contention, both teams are lacking in high-end prospects and badly need to restock their forward depth on the cheap this July, in what will be one of the most challenging free-agent markets in NHL history.

I don't really think a worse older, core, and extra money is a good thing this year.
And I think Pittsburgh's prospect pool is signficantly worse than ours.

Mirtle: Get ready for a Maple Leafs-Penguins rivalry — on and off the ice
With Kyle Dubas in Pittsburgh and ready for battle in the Eastern Conference with his old team, a heated new rivalry has just been born.
