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

[Buffdog]

Okay let's say they're equals. Dubois is three full years younger than Horvat which means an 8 year contract is a lot less risky and he may not have even hit his peak yet. LA is giving up a similar (IMO worse) package to NYI for a more valuable asset.

Plus PLD is coming extended. Lou is on record saying they had not talks with horvat prior to the trade (via LeBrun in the Athletic)

Actually, you know what? Was gonna suggest something else in regards to Dubois, but I will keep silent until we know if there is an extension in place.

 

[Martyros]

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.

 

[BatVader]

Don’t worry Kings fans… Bergevin will turn around and flip PLD to the Habs for Dvorak and #31

 

[Djp]

Ooof. Now I get why Montreal was hesitant. If that’s what it takes to get him I’m sure habs fans are content with staying pat. Curious what his new deal will come in as. For that price you’d hope he signed somewhere close to 8x8

Canadians trade Suzuki and what?

Top 6 center rasums Kupari? How can this be?

hopefully he can do that at center

So much for "you'll take Dvorak and like it!"

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

 

[Lt Dan]

Fixed

Stanley is replacing Edler

I do hope that he is included in the trade. Endless "Pretzel Day " jokes

 

[Frank Drebin]

Woof. Good job stepping up to the plate LA. Can't wait to see the contract terms.

Blake ruining his own rebuild catering to Doughty & Kopitar

 

[JustAHabFan]

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

On top you will pay him 8+x8.

I did not expect Rob Blake to dump the entire contents of his purse on the table.

 

[symbology]

Just as an outsider, Kupari needing a change of scenery, but has shown

Kupari will be Kempe 2.0

This is very possible. Has all the tools, just has not put it all together yet.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Good on LA thank god Hughes didin't buckle and give anything significant

 

[Sol]

Blake’s gotta go. Traded the best prospect the Kings have. Absolute garbage. f*** that moron.

 

[Satoru Gojo]

If that's true thats a haul for the Jets

 

[Bouboumaster]

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

 

[YP44]

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.

 

[Scintillating10]

So much for he wanted to play in Montreal. Kings can have the nut! He'll want out in two years.

 

[FerrisRox]

Unless he is signing a sweetheart extension that starts with a seven, this is a deal the Kings are really going to regret.

 

[FSL KINGS]

Blake’s gotta go. Traded the best prospect the Kings have. Absolute garbage. f*** that moron.

He's only the best prospect because they passed on Stützle.

 

[Frank Drebin]

hearing this joke has been told 1000 times over the past week

its funny because its true!
