Confirmed Trade: [LAK/WPG] Pierre-Luc Dubois (signs 8 years, $8.5M AAV) for Gabe Vilardi, Alex Iafallo, Rasmus Kupari, 2024 2nd round pick

[Frolov 6'3]

Blake should be fired immediately.

Lombardi kind of trade.

On TSN, Dreger said Jets are also getting a 2nd round pick in addition to the three players already mentioned from the Kings.

wonder what we added to PLD and Harkins

Ive watched both players thanks. I have seen Dubois raise his game in the playoffs and brings a physical element very few players can and are capable of.

Dubois had 27 goals 36 assists, 63 points in 73 games.
Vilardi had 23 goals 18 assists for 41 points in 63 games

In what world is Vilardi scoring more. Being healthy is also a skill and is important. I have no dog in this fight I am a sens fan I cant for the life of me understand how someone doesnt like this as a kings fan.

That's fair. I was mainly talking about Vilardi hitting the 30 goal threshold in a full season, while Dubois has yet to eclipse 28.

I just think Vilardi has another level to his game but there is definitely a question of his skating and injury history. Tough to say what's really playing into all that until all this unfolds.

There was many different things said from both sides that were not right. Don't act like every Jet fan was innocent and didn't escalate the situation. I know Habs fans had different things to say at different times.

What I dislike the most is fans twisting previous things and then grouping fan bases into one opinion later. It's stupid.

Lets calm down and re visit the multiple Habs futures offer at a later date. It's the only way to determine if our multiple futures packages were bad or good. Fair? We can also evaluate the guys you got in return later too.

No, let's not re-evaluate any futures-based offers. Chevy never wanted futures. That's the whole point

His ask was Dach. Hughes declined and offered futures. Chevy passed. Should have been the end of it right there.

Hopefully the Kings are getting back more than what is rumored. Hopefully Hellebuyck and a 1967 Mustang are included in the package

 

[kinghock]

Having not gone through the many pages in this thread, there's no way the Kings are sending all of Vilardi, Iafallo and Kupari to Winnipeg and only getting Dubois and his big contract without something significant going to the Kings as well, right?

As a fan of a divisional rival, this would be wonderful news but almost seems unrealistic like a Jets fan HF fanboy proposal.

Kings are moving in right direction. Edmonton is already scared.

 

[Guffman]

Yeah, he didn’t comment on what the Jets are giving up. What if it is Heinola?

Might be a 69 ragtop

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Never mind the assets going back…

What has PLD done to deserve 8 years/8.5 million? That’s insane.

 

[MMC]

 

[Jozay]

Per sources, PLD has already requested out of LA

 

[Guffman]

Habs fans are so cringe. they spent years fantasizing about acquiring dubois. But Dubois rejected the habs so now Montreal fans are trashing him.

That Twitter account belongs to a Jets fan.

 

[AbsentMojo]

He was ok at 2LD absolutely....we definitely have different ideas of the game, that's for sure....you are definitely more emotional about players.

Disagree there. I see 3LD as a big need. We need more size on D like a Soucy.. our 3rd pair was destroyed in the playoffs. So to me that is a big need. You listed Bjornfot - if you pencil in Clarke or Spence on 3RD that is still a weak pairing. Need something strong. My other point was goaltending. I dont think there is enough cap space to address that.

 

[CorgisPer60]

Jets didn't even give up a player other than PLD. Huh.

Thanks for the second, Habs.

 

[Buffdog]

Looking forward to talking trades on the next one. Congrats on the haul.

I'll make sure that a year from Dach becoming a UFA I'll open a thread with a shit offer and justify it by the fact that he wants to come home to the prairies

Then Jets fans will post a similar thread every two weeks

Have fun

 

[Ace]

And a second?

HOW DID IT GET WORSE

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Hopefully the Kings are getting back more than what is rumored. Hopefully Hellebuyck and a 1967 Mustang are included in the package

Best they can do is an 81 Gremlin.

 

[Guffman]

Wait, Jets ONLY giving up Dubois? WHAT!!!

LMAO!

CHEVVVVVVVVYYYYYY!!!

 

[Habs Halifax]

Nah, the NHL young piece was news released recently over the last month or two. That was not the discussion over the last year. You're changing the narrative and several Jets fans talked about futures returns over the last year.

We understand. You asked for Dach and we couldn't do that. We said if you can get that from someone else, you should. Will be interesting to evaluate Dach vs Vilardi moving forward too.

In case you didn't notice, lots of other fans think the Kings are crazy. This indicates that they were very aggressive which the Habs told you we will not be. This is a circumstance trade where the Kings got aggressive. Glad you are happy bud. Really, no joke

 

[CupofOil]

And a 2nd too? There has to be more coming back to the Kings. That's insanity from Blake.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

That is such an overpayment

 

[SR]

Huge return for the Jets.

Chevy said it at his year end presser

 

[JTeller97]

So essentially Vilardi Durzi Kupari and Iafallo for just PLD? Steep.
