I’m still of the mind the Canadiens are more likely to wait for Dubois to walk right to them as a free agent in 2024. I think they’d have the patience to do that because a) they believe he’ll come, and b) they absolutely see Dach as a centre and love the idea that they’ll have him (at $3.36 million per through 2026), Nick Suzuki and Dubois up the middle for at least two seasons as they’re coming out of their rebuild and into their competitive window.
But if Dubois is willing to sign with a team outside of Montreal this summer and the Canadiens feel they’ll lose their chance at him if they don’t trade for him, having Anderson at their disposal for such a trade could be crucial.
Man, Would the Jets ever be a great landing spot for the 28-year-old Burlington, Ont., native to be the very best version of himself—as a team that plays a direct style that suits his game and as one that could continue to challenge for the Stanley Cup even without Dubois.
Not only would Winnipeg appreciate having that type of player if they have to lose Dubois, but they’d also appreciate having that type of player under contract for years.
Anderson wouldn’t get the deal done on his own, but he would be a key piece of it if he was willing to go.
