Kind of but not really. He's always made really good trades for players that want out. His issue is more that the only time he makes big moves is if a player wants out. He's like other GM's that falls in love with his guys and is totally fine with bringing back the same group that failed last year and the year before. The problem with Dubois is that teams aren't going to give up much for a player that's indicated he wants to sign with a particular team when he's a free agent. Montreal kind of has leverage on him. I get the feeling that in similar fashion to the Flames last season he will bring the group back for one last kick at the can and hope a new coach can get more out of the team and next offseason will likely have to start dismantling things. I don't think I would be on board for giving Sheifele another contract when he's 31 years old given his poor defensive play and lack of leadership qualities.
