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

[Habs Halifax]

Chevy said it at his year end presser

Sure, but I'm talking about the general discussion for the last year. I really do think you should thank Dubois for opening up to 5 or 6 teams and the Kings for making the aggressive move.

 

[MardyBum]

I imagine there will be something added once it's official, but nice job Chevy and thanks PLD and Brisson.

Watch PLD score 90 next season healthy all year.

 

[Lt Dan]

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

agreed

 

[SCP Guy]

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

You missed a 2nd round to the Jets to even it up lol

 

[dirtydanglez]

nice to see the jets get a w this offseason

la just cucked montreal.

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.

As non fan, you are not aware of his last trades just to held his job.

Thats where i am refering to.

 

[Hunter368]

OMG is this really happening? Thats a amazing return on PLD who we were constantly told had character issues, Jets had no leverage and were completely screwed, etc, etc. Chevy is like, here hold my beer. Great freaking trade by the Jets, wow.

The fact that the returns includes a 2nd rd pick formerly from the Habs is amusing.

 

[Detroit Knights]

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

The 2024 2nd in a low-end draft is like a 4th or 5th this year...for what it's worth

 

[Fjordy]

Horrible for LA

 

[AbsentMojo]

Is Kupari in the deal or not? Seen it said both ways

 

[andora]

I dont understand why gets that return.. i would much rather have the three la players in my lineup than dubois

I dont get it

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

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

He didn't. Habs didn't want to pay the price, which seems to be quite high both in terms of assets and contract.

Habs were like that guy who messages you asking if you'll sell your item listed for 1,000 dollars for 300 hundred.

 

[Slats432]

What a surprise, habs fans thinks the team that acquired Dubois overpaid and that Winnipeg got an amazing deal

meanwhile Montreal is trading away 1st round picks like they are a playoff team?

It isn't Habs fans....it's everyone.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

What is LA thinking? Terrible trade, terrible contract.

 

[Huffer]

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.

You can also bet if one of the many futures busts out, that will be the one used as an example.

 

[sansabri]

wouldn't let that shit happen to me tho

 

[Unspecified]

So we don't have to worry about the Kings for the next few years is what this trade tells us.

 

[JTeller97]

You missed a 2nd round to the Jets to even it up lol

the 2nd is from the durzi to Arizona trade

 

[frederixx]

I really like Dubois but that seems a really high price to pay considering you have to pay him 8.5M as well.

Will a happy PLD live up to the hype? And Danault playing on the 3rd line? Not sure how this will play out for the Kings.

 

[Guardian17]

And a second?

HOW DID IT GET WORSE

So the Jets are only giving up Dubois!?!

 

[SCP Guy]

NO way it is 4 assets for PLD????

 

[Frank Drebin]

nice to see the jets get a w this offseason

la just cucked montreal.

I knew there was a word for this form of enjoyment, watching from the sidelines.

 

[iCanada]

Holy man.

Idk that I pay Villiardi alone for Dubois when I already have Kopitar and Danault.

Why did PLD reject Montreal?
