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

[JeffreyLFC]

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

This is the way

 

[Slats432]

Great deal for the Peg.

 

[gojetsgo]

it's kind of funny that the jets get the pick that montreal needed for that offer sheet they pretended was a possibility

 

[KaN19]

And a second?

HOW DID IT GET WORSE

Teams are dumping good players for nothing but cap space and you've got the Kings ponying up this much for an entitled 2nd liner.

 

[Canadienna]

Holy hell lol thank f***ing goodness Hughes didn't pay the price.

Honestly Jets fans have been rough on us Habs fans but in the end I'm glad they're getting a good return.

Ngl that is kind of funny

 

[Zynbanejad]

Lmao wait LAK is throwing in a 2nd now as well? Insane

 

[JeffreyLFC]

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

It reminds me the Phaneuf trade. A lot of average pieces for one big piece.

 

[aniketus]

They got the Habs second which seems like trolling maybe Blake read mtl should just offersheet him for 4 million lol

 

[bmr]

Ridiculous overpayment IMHO. PLD better be the second coming for that haul.

 

[Guffman]

In Chevy We Trust!

[Doug Prishpreed]

Blake should be fired immediately.

Lombardi kind of trade.

Lombardi the guy who constructed two stanley cup winning teams? I'd consider that a compliment -- the man pulled off some great trades in his day.

 

[Shane Diesel]

Blake gets bent over. All that for a guy with a career high of 63 points. Woof.

 

[Vukotal Recall]

Big trade, high-risk, high-reward for both sides. I think it'll work out well for both.

 

[Zynbanejad]

LAK lacking depth just like most Angelinos

 

[Atoyot]

Until it's final I don't believe Dubois is the only one going to LA.

 

[MOGlLNY]

I know Winnipeg doesn’t want to go on futures but could be of interest.

To be fair, I'll be doing the exact same thing if wings don't get debrincat at this point lmao

Thanks buddy. Had a blast slinging words at you Habs fan over this.

Agree

 

[DamonDRW]

Isn't it too much?

 

[Sol]

Kings got busted down more than a frat girl. Jesus.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Good trade for Winnipeg.
Bad trade for LA. I don't think the difference in Dubois and Vilardi is equal to Iafallo, Kupari and a 2nd. Especially at that contract. Hurts their depth.

original conversation was regarding Zib. Drai is a top 5 center in the league who signed a mid 1C deal out of his ELC. Right after signing it he became a 1C. Remember before his current deal he was played more on the Left wing than Center and this was one of the highest AAV for a LEft winger in the league at the time. Obvious steal now.
Yes you did aprox 2 years ago. quoted a snow fall chart and everything. I know you don't live in Calgary but you did make that argument.

I mean snowfall =/= cold. Snow only tends to fall between 0 and -5°C. Calgary is generally colder than that and not next to the lakes so it's logical that Toronto would have higher snowfall on average.

Either way it seems your definition of "true 1C" is something around perennial superstar or better. That is an extremely high threshold that only a couple teams can ever have at any given time.

Good job winnipeg, that a big pay day for the team.
