As I wrote earlier today, if you truly believe all that Pierre-Luc Dubois said on Monday and that the NHL Trade rumours linking him to the Montreal Canadiens are simply media-manufactured click bait, then I have ocean front property in Manitoba to sell you.

Juraj Slafkofsky and other Montreal Canadiens prospects will not be playing in the continuation of the 2022 World Junior Championships in August.
