Pierre Luc Dubois - What's the allure?

He is big and skates well but people who should know better keep expecting or hoping there is more when there isn't.

He is fine as a second line center but he will never be a top line center or much better than an average second line guy.

Basically a different version of Bo Horvat but with similar value.
 
his problem .....

As a former top prospect theres always going to be attention around him. His "coming out party" in the 2020 playoff bubble brought a lot of eyes to him.

Honestly, I think PLD will hit 80 points in LA, he has the talent and now that hes firmly in a location of his choosing, I think his days of half passing things are over.
 
I think the allure is pretty easy to see, I just wish he'd lean into his allure a little more and be the guy he should be more often.
 
Big body, can skate fast, and is capable of playing some excellent two way hockey at times. And when you see him at his best, you want a big center like that on your team.

Problem with him is consistency in his attitude which eventually wears out his welcome with teams

Modern day Keith Primeau?
 
He gets traded for a lot. Has a monster contract. Is he really that good? I don't see it. He's 6'3", so I get that part. A few 60 point seasons. Certainly good, but nothing elite. Am I missing something?
One million less would have been better but I don’t see a monster contract here.

He will probably have a couple of 30 goals / 60 point seasons.

Looks lazy and disinterested to me at times. His face doesn’t help either.

8 year contracts don't seem to be given out to anything other than franchise cornerstone pieces. And 8.5M is no small cap hit.
