Confirmed Trade: [WSH/LAK] Pierre-Luc Dubois for Darcy Kuemper (no salary retained)

[buffalowing88]

The dreamer in me believes that this is going to be the destination where PLD shines. The realist in me sees this not ending well. I guess it's a swing for the fences, that's for sure.

LA lost the PLD trade the day it was made with Winnipeg... now we have a #1 goalie (which was the biggest hole) without PLD's albatross contract on the books for 200 years. its a win win for LA considering the position

a number one goalie? in what world?

 

[SpezDispenser]

Had to happen, Kuemper fell off his 2nd year.

Washington is all in on Chucky now

Who is Chucky?

"A #1 goalie"

Might want to check on how Kuemper did last year.

You can't ignore the sunk cost of what they paid for Dubois a year ago in this deal. Washington lost the deal for taking on PLD's deal without getting anything of value for it, but LA is still an absolute loser in this deal for basically turning what they paid for last year into Kuemper.

he had a bad year last year, that doesnt make him a bad goalie. have you seen what we've had in net the last few seasons? we got rid of PLD ,plugged a hole AND opened up cap space. you'd have to be insane to not see that LA benefits from this

I hate this as an Oiler fan

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

LOOOOOOL

Blake, ya big f***in dummy

 

[Senscore]

So when does Dubois request a trade?

Who is Chucky?

Charles Lindgren.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Strange trade for sure, but Washington, what the hell are you doing taking on that contract?

 

[hockeykicker]

this is literally a cap dump for a cap dump trade. capitals betting on the younger center vs a goalie that was about to be beaten out by the ahl goalies

 

[King Woodballs]

Lolwut?
Are the kings paying for Capfriendly on behalf of Washington?

 

[The Great Weal]

I'm shocked that the Kings didn't have to add at least a 1st here

 

[Arthur Morgan]

lol PLD asks multiple teams for trades, gets where he wants to be, plays terrible and is traded likely where he wanted to be even less then where he was before and happened less than a month before he has full control. now he's likely stuck cause no one wants him
karma strikes

 

[gilfaizon]

caps banking on a panthers game 6 win so they can take advantage of the 1/3 buyout?

Kuemper is a worse goalie than the Kings had last year and he's making much more money.

Yes, purely in a vacuum, turning PLD's deal into Kuemper's deal is a "win" for LA. But considering what they paid a year ago for PLD and how they put themselves in this situation by handing him that deal last off-season, they are still an absolute loser in this.

Rob Blake is a bottom 5 GM

At least he can admit he made a mistake. Kuemper isn't going to light the world on fire at this stage, but Blake got out of a long term, bad contract today.

 

[effen]

I do not understand why people think the pu-pu platter LA traded away was a big package. Vilardi will likely never be healthy and the rest of it nothing remotely special.

 

[Canovin]

Washington can still trade PLD at 50% off for picks

 

[Jee]

Bruh Washington what u doing?!

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

That's a wild trade.
I wonder how LA fans feel about Rob Blake now, still want to get him fired or already planning a statue outside Staples?

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

PLD leaves Cali for the even more glamorous lifestyle I. Washington DC





Just kidding DC sucks.

DC is great, except for the summer. DC summers suck ass.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Lmfao this rocks

 

[theMajor]

Talbot

Portillo isnt ready yet but he might get a cuppa this year
