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

[ScarTroy]

There is a thread for him because it looked like he was going to force his way to the Habs. Many of us weren't interested in him unless it was for futures or cheap. Already had 2 centres equal or better than him and now 3 with Newhook.

Pretty bold to say Newhook is better than PLD. Even bold to say they are equal.

 

[Guffman]

They have a 10,000 post thread on their board about PLD and he’s never played for the Habs.

Their love of PLD is so strong and enduring that it spills over to other threads too.

Yeah, it feels kinda awkward on the forums when a francophone player basically gave the Hab fans the finger in the end. All I can tell them is that hey, there are plenty of other francophone players in the sea. You just need to wait for that one special player.

Yea that's a little far fetched. Dach and Suz OK but not Newhook.

Don't forget good top 6 C Dvorak!

LMAO!

This is what a jilted lover would say about his ex. Man, this is so cringey and sad.

I’ll give him Suzuki, but Dach is also still TBD.

 

[Kimota]

Personally I think Dach has a better upside career-wise than Dubois going forward. But he has not proven he is better yet. Well I think he is already better but got injured.

... and yes; listen to this those chaps with hats and that ever so splendid blues-groove wasn't sexy enough for America and Coverdale - but it was for me and manyh others. Remember.

Whitesnake won over America - and (almost) lost Europe back in the day.

But they also lost a whole lotta respect.

Like Pierre-Luc Dubios easy can do the same ...

And yes: I'm disturbed.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Not if you know what you are looking at. He is 3 years younger and hasn't played with scoring line forwards yet. He will be a t worst Duboi' equal when Habs are ready to contend.

LMAO!

From the king of worthless posts. I have been evaluating prospects for 40 years looking at offensive potential. I have made some bad picks in my keeper league but the majority have done well.

Kings fans said the same thing after everyone immediately starting bagging on the Phillip Danault contract.

Blake gave up way too much in the PLD deal, we'd rather whine about that... thank you very much.

Wrong, !
Every Kings fan did not immediately bag on the Danault signing.
Gross over representation.
Group think megalomania.
You and the other good ole boys on the Kings board are not everybody.
I know you guys try to make it that way by attacking anyone who doesn't jump on the insane train and go along with the narratives and so do many main board posters from all different parts.
Danault was a great signing!
PLD was a great trade if the Kings can avoid injures to key players and the goaltending can keep us in the race until closer to the deadline.
Get over yourselves!
Dubois in less than a week is the man about town, posting about attending Dodgers baseball and Galaxy MLS games.
Seems happy, excited and this bodes well that he will play hard in an inspiring environment.
He hasn't even been to babe beach yet...

 

[mattihp]

That contract was better than I expected considering his history of wanting out. Got both term and $. Good job.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Don't forget good top 6 C Dvorak!

He is crap but he would look good on the Jets.

 

[MardyBum]

He is crap but he would look good on the Jets.

He'd be a very impressive 4th liner for sure.

Oi, I raher like the Danault signing.

Dodgers and Galaxy games ... that I can tell ya nuthin about.
Probably me ... and about the rest of Europa. That is.

No megalomania what so ever - we love our fussball and maybe baby hockey.

Heavy workin' horse as hell what I've seen of L.A Kings on telly that is and what I can tell you. Daunalt that is.

Not that he put up a plethora of points/goals by any standards but he always gets the real, real dirty job done to win a game.

Pierre-Luc Dubois not so much. I think.

Meaning we liked the Danault trade and signing

..."after everyone immediately starting bagging on the Phillip Danault contract."

Everyone = every other fanbase


WTF are you smoking!?

Yup Danault is good.
We will see about PLD.
He looks happy and enjoying the off season in Southern Cali
But we need size and we got him and locked him up long term.
I like it despite the holes in the roster.

My bad.
I don't smoke but if I did it wouldn't be with the guy in your avatar.

You believed that horse shit Hughes peddled to that idiot LeBrun? LeBrun got his clicks from rabid Habs fans who were desperate to get him.

Now after 10s of 1000s of posts Habs fans want to pretend they never wanted him anyway? Keep stalking PLD threads Habs fans, it really shows how much you never cared.

Kings fans will end up happy with PLD.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Canadiens fans really are into fan fiction, aren’t they?

 

[Frank Drebin]

Don't forget good top 6 C Dvorak!

And now you have neither Dvorak or PLD

Bad remake
PLD Will beast in LA
Edit terrible remake

 

[Buffdog]

And now you have neither Dvorak or PLD

Vilardi is better than PLD

See, I learned from Habs fans that a player's value has less to do with what he does on the ice, and more to do with his age, contract status, and "potential". That's why they wouldn't drade Dach for PLD

Exactly. Now you have gabe vilardi. Rejoice

I have a feeling this one will not age well at all...

Pretty bold to say Newhook is better than PLD. Even bold to say they are equal.

It's pretty ridiculous. Him and Dach are high picks their own teams were fine giving up on. That's as big a red flag as there is. PLD has his personality flaws but his on ice performance is not his limiting factor.
