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

[CycloneSweep]

That’s an absolute awful deal for LA if true.

 

[FerrisRox]

If it's only for Dubois, that is f***ing awful. There I said it, Dubois isn't worth all that.

He's not even worth anything close to that. I don't understand this trade for Los Angeles at all.

This is really, really bad for the Kings. Doesn't add up.

 

[Mr Kot]

Winnipeg wants NHL pieces, but why?
They're about to lose Hellebuyck and Scheifele too
They should go with prospects and picks instead

Those are still young-ish players. They need some veteran players and those ones fit pretty good in a rebuild timeline.

 

[DRAGO 18]

My god Rob Blake just got owned by Chevy

 

[Atoyot]

I feel like there has to be another notable piece from the Jets' side. Hoping it's not Samberg.

 

[deaderhead28]

I do not understand. Just sign Vialrdi and deal two of Moore/Arivdsson/Iafallo for cap space to sign a goalie. The way I have the three listed is the ranking I would want them moved on.

That's not good enough for the Kings to be a contender. So much more needs to be done to the roster for it to be.

 

[jfhabs]

Thank you Mr. Blake

 

[Buresflyingelbow]

Premium position over wingers it looks like.

 

[Superlative Soup]

Harris and a 2nd. He has to accept it. He has no choice

Add Kidney or no deal

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Bergevin curse setting into LA

 

[Heldig]

Surprised no d prospects

Pretty sure Chevy will "throw in" Heinola.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Maybe Hughes, Brisson and Chevy were conspiring together against Rob Blake for the past year. What a joke trade LMAO

 

[Bouboumaster]

Danault is getting f***ed by Bergevin lol

 

[Zrhutch]

All this for a guy with a career high of 63 points playing with guys like Ehlers, Connor, Scheifle…. I don’t see it fellas

 

[Some Other Flame]

Kings trying to make their version of the Eichel trade. Except Dubois isn't as good and unlike the Knights, the Kings don't have the over all depth to make such a trade.

Good deal for the Jets.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Ya, by the time all details of what's going from both teams is actually known, I think Jets fans will be more upset. No way it's just PLD. Could be Samberg (I'd hate this), Heinola (would not like), Dillon (would not like), Harkins (meh).

 

[Habs Halifax]

its funny because its true!

I wish they would create a Napa "It's True" gif where there is one like floating upwards. Ever see the commercial? Would be great to use in this case

 

[MardyBum]

I feel like there has to be another notable piece from the Jets' side. Hoping it's not Samberg.

Maybe Heinola, Samberg should be untouchable with Dillon likely gone soon.

They need their big D.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Vilardi took a big step this year. He's going to be a 60-70 point scorer as long as he stays healthy. Can't wait for PLD to ask for a trade in 2 years.

He has never stayed healthy. Winnipeg's version of Monahan.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Danault is getting f***ed by Bergevin lol

Dvorak and Kidney for Danault. Lets go!

Good deal for the Jets.

while i agree with the premise that dubois is not as good .. not even close .. but we have the assests ... too many NHL playing assests (In the top 6 ) and not enough roster spots

 

[lomiller1]

Sorry but that's just not true. Dubois has shown nothing to say he's above Horvat in any way.

Nothing other than PLD outproducing Horvat at every stage of their career, PLD being 3 years younger, PLD being far better defensively, PLD being a gritty agitator who's among the best in the NHL at drawing penalties instead of being squishy soft like Horvat

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

That’s an absolute awful deal for LA if true.

Nah. they are giving up nothing of significance. Winnipeg would have been better served to go after futures but the owner is too effing cheap to do a rebuild.

 

[Turin]

That would be awesome for Winnipeg. If PLD put up the same results but was 5’10 he wouldn’t get near that.

 

[Martyros]

Dvorak and Kidney for Danault. Lets go! There better be an actual kidney coming back as well.
