Just when we were convinced that Pierre-Luc Dubois was leaving for Los Angeles, some breaking news has surfaced. Arpon Basu said this morning that the Habs shouldn't be counted out in this story, and Darren Dreger just proved him right. <q>As Arpon Basu suggests, the Montreal Canadiens are back in the running for PLD (Pierre-Luc Dubois).
