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

[Kurrilino]

Dubois is pretty good in the net front/bumper spot. Im not sure who the Kings use there but I think that’s the spot he’s competing for On the PP.

That was Vilardi

Why was there no posts on this thread today?

Folks have resigned themselves that with Dudebrah the Kings are a well timed Doughty LTIR and return for the playoffs only away from a three player add and the Stanley

 

[Finnflash]

Bump?

8.5 million is alot of money to pay for a winger still trying to learn how to play center and likely never will.

Yep. He’s a solid player similar Bo Horvat. He is absolutely not a first line guy. The Jets did well to lance that boil. Guy has been a problem and a selfish prick since he was drafted.

Bump?

why tho

It’s a good thing they’ve got Byfield, Danault, and Kopitar then if that so happens.

Bowness moved Scheifele to Dubois wing, he played C basically all of last year. He needs to work on his defense a lot(just like Scheifele) but he's definitely a 1C in offensive playdriving ability. Having good defensive wingers will help.

he moved scheifele to his line but they would switch off on center duties depending on who would take the draw

The projected line of Fiala-Dubois-Kaliyev is going to be a menace offensively but they just might be the worst defensive line in the league. Itll be fun to watch at least.

Honestly Connor Dubois Scheif probably gives them a run for higher up lines

It will be Fiala-PLD-Lewis likely. Kings won't put two skilled guys on either side.

7 years in and he is still a winger trying to play center. Not very well either. Under 50% in face offs doesn't kill penalties and can't be trusted on the ice in last minutes if holding a lead. Sorry not for 8.5 million. Ppg is far from a lock also.

I absolutely LOVE how this thread lives rent free in your head...hahahahaha

I keep checking this post weekly to see if pld has said he wanted out yet.

* a lot*

Ummmm he's been a centre his entire career in the NHL. What a weird flex. Now if you said he gives up or whines like a bitch sure but man, what a bad take..

 

[Voight]

PLD is the most overrated player in existence with how much he is talked up compared to what he’s actually done in the league.

Thats because Habs fans were so convinced they would get him as a free agent, they spent an entire year hyping him up.

 

[Trash Panda]

It will be Fiala-PLD-Lewis likely. Kings won't put two skilled guys on either side.

Lewis is a 20pt bottom-six winger at this point of his career, and has no business being put with two players like PLD & Fiala at this point in his career.

So yeah, considering Todd’s track record, you’re probably onto something there.

He's actually an excellent centre but many people are too focused on point tallies. He was also an absolute monster in the covid playoffs for Columbus.

 

[KingsHockey24]

What's with Jets fans and feeling the need to bump this thread every couple of days to bash PLD.

Like, go be excited about Alex Iafallo or something.
