The rumors surrounding Pierre-Luc Dubois to Montreal have lasted for years. As is often the case, it did not materialize, but not due to a lack of interest on the part of the Hometown forward.

Indeed, Dubois genuinely wanted to wear the Bleu-Blanc-Rouge uniform, but the Jets' demands were too high for Kent Hughes.

In a recent article by Alexandre Gascon, the Jets GM's demands were revealed, shedding light on the Canadiens' decision. To receive, you have to give.

Kirby Dach was at the center of this potential deal. With his injury, it's easy to second-guess today, but Dach remains a young player with a higher ceiling than Dubois.

The other option would have been Kaiden Guhle, but again, Kent Hughes said no. Number 21 represents the future of the Canadiens on defense. He is extremely skilled and already plays like a veteran.

Furthermore, both players love playing for the Canadiens and Martin St-Louis. They give a consistent effort every time they hit the ice, which is not necessarily the case with Pierre-Luc.

Time will tell if Kent Hughes made the right decision in rejecting these two offers, but one thing is certain: the Kings are already questioning the very high price they paid for Dubois.
