Pierre-Luc Dubois was on 98.5 this morning and agreed to give details of his negotiations, as well as what made him choose Los Angeles. As we understand it, the Canadiens were never really in the picture. <q>No, we never really got anything from the Habs. We talked with Montreal, but in the end, it was Los Angeles that was calling and pushing harder. - Pierre-Luc Dubois</q> It's surprising to hear such comments, when we really thought interest was shared between the Canadiens and the Dubois clan. As for his contract with the Kings, again, Dubois assures us that it's not a question of money, but more of charm. <q>Pierre-Luc Dubois spoke to us for ten minutes this morning on 98.5. No, the Canadiens haven't made me a formal offer. Some teams offered me more money than the Kings, but they wanted me the most. - Pierre-Luc Dubois</q> We're in no way suggesting that the Habs weren't interested in Dubois, and the Quebecer didn't mention it as such either.
