How can you not, dude is the ultimate lame duck. He wants a trade already, and will want a trade from his new team within a year. PLD is one of the most useless plugs in the entire NHL, Kings got fleeced. The crazy part about all of this is that everyone knew this about PLD FOR YEARS NOW, yet somehow the Kings were blindsided. IT would be like the Kings trading for Huberdeau now, and then being surprised that he sucks. Nah, y'all knew what this man was, and made a terrible decision based on HOPE.
Maybe this explains why Winnipeg became a dumpster fire after Christmas last season?
I miss Gabe🥲
I know the fans regret it. Dubois has always under-achieved, Blake screwed the pooch badly on this one.
As a Habs fan, I'd like to thank LA for their timely interference. I know the 8 years, 68 millions 'penalty' is steep but it is what it is. 🙂
PLD good riddance – Chevys a Genius
I honestly think the guy never wants to win a Stanley cup he just wants money
Dubois has always been over rated and in my opinion i think he has always been over paid. Jets pulled what i would call a Kings Ransom. Kings fans are pissed i know that and all the fingers are pointing at Luc Dubois. He should be making 4 if that
What line did pld play with last year with Winnipeg?
Linemates?
I was not for this trade because it included villardi.
That being said he's here now and to be fair he's had some less than average Linemates.
Anderson Dolan who was waived and unclaimed and a rookie (lafferie) who would not be on the team if Ardvanson was not injured.
McClellan has not patience whatsoever and keeps moving him from center to wing and back to center again.
If Kopitar and danault had the same Linemates as pld I'd guess that would both have very similar numbers.
No offense to Hayes, but PLD is garbage, and always has been. It takes more than skill or talent to be a great player, it takes, most of all, work and effort. Two things PLD doesn't even know the meaning of the words.
Anyone who would trade for that clown, given his history, especially his exit from Columbus, deserves what they get. I'm glad LA got him, because WPG is a better team for it, and LA is one less team to worry about in the pacific now.
He whined in Columbus and Winnipeg what made LA think it would change
He was a bitch on Columbus, a bitch on Winnipeg and surprise surprise he's a bitch on the kings
2:25 – one thing I do not see mentioned enough when talking about PLD coming to Winnipeg from CBJ. His dad worked with the moose. We add lowrys dad on staff the following year if im not mistaken. Chevy clearly value(d) trying to play up the family dynamics a bit to help convince people to stay…papa dubois still with the moose…
I hope he sees all this dude is terrible 😂
They may regret the trade but someone needs to be fired for authoring the $64m contract!!!!! This is his 3rd Team and the same issues emerge.
3:30 – cant forget to mention how he ALWAYS disappeared without Scheif in the lineup. Game 4 and 5 we NEEDED HIM BADLY…
Jets fan here. It is a long transitional period for PLD. He will turn around. We saw it happen in winnipeg. There's more pressure this time around, equalling a long transition. LA just be patient. Once he gets a couple good games in, it will only get better! I wasn't a believer too. But he turn out to be a good player! Give it time LA.
Jeez my Habs dodged a freakin bullet on that one
I see you Hustler! Wipe that smile off your face Hustler…🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣
Dude is jogging/walking out there need to send him to the AHL nobody will claim this bum
I havent played hockey since i was 17y old with Olund, Holmstrom. Give me 5 mouths training and i'm back. Shooting harder than Al McInnis and is a solid rock. 😉 Regards from Northland Sweden. Where do i sign? hehe..
Yes we do
Outside of Montreal where he might have actually made an effort to play, I'd question the hockey IQ of anyone who was willing to sign Dubois to a big-money contract like he's gotten.
Baffling to me that people couldn't see this train wreck coming from a mile away.
Big strong talented centre who can take games over when he feels like it. The problem has always been it just doesn’t happen enough and it looks like he thinks it’s good enough or is indifferent. He probably doesn’t ever become a 1st line c. Not good enough defensively, terrible on draws, plays soft at times, not a great passer or playmaker. Addition by subtraction for Winnipeg. A extremely frustrating player to watch.
PLD desperately wanted out of Winnipeg. But I don't think he wanted to go to L.A. either. He was hoping to go to a legit contender so he could walk in to a ready made Stanley Cup.
After 7 losses in a row with a lead 6 games with 2 goal leads I am frustrated like most Kings fans but its all facts so here is my take on PLD deal! Kings coach TMac should have benched PLD aka-Houdini long time ago better yet healthy scratch because PLD is not getting the message at any cost He should have gotten the message when we WASTED 8.5Mill a year for a whopping 8 years! PLD has no speed no faceoff skills no physicality gets over taken and out hustled by much smaller players he has no heart no passion and no soul and looks lost just about all the time! Winnipeg totally robbed the Kings thanks to kings GM Rob Blake the worst GM in NHL!!! Jets are one of the top teams in the NHL and all 4 lines are playing lights out hockey without their best player Conner out injured most of start of the season. Vilardi has more goals and points in half the games played and even Iafallo has more points than Houdini thanks to boneheaded trade by the Kings GM and that's a fact! The PLD deal is the worst trade in Kings history!!! Total BUST!!!
Remember all the wise-ass analysts that picked the King's as their latest thing to save them from saying the Canucks were the best in the west ? Before Christmas ? Haha ya morons
PLD is that employee or coworker that blatantly steals company funds by showing up just to clock in n out. Blake is the manager who hires on hearsay. What a con job this was/is.
It was a real bad trade. So far, not acceptable.
The agreement with the players association makes teams slaves to their best players. There used to be a time when you could send an underperforming player to the minors to get the message across to the player that more is expected for the money they are being paid. That option is no longer available to coaches and teams.
*laughs in CBJ*
I think Loui Eriksson in Vancouver was the worst first impression ever.
Not saying who won or lost the trade but, needless to say L.A. got Chevy's number blocked from here on out.
The problem with PLD is he has no fire in his belly…..you either have it or you don't and clearly he doesn't
No longer PLD …. Just PL .. next PU
This was so obvious as soon as he stopped trying for torts. Why anyone would give him more than a one year deal is beyond me
Honestly, PLD was pretty cool in Winnipeg. His teammates spoke highly of him etc. He always had time to do spots on Bar Down Hockey etc. But I think PLD is into using his talents to live the good life, vs being a lover of hockey. He’s like a smart kid in school who never learnt to study, and then gets wiped out in University when it gets tougher. Then you give him what he wants (Good shopping, restaurants, the beach) and then he is maybe concentrating on THAT instead of hockey. He’s like a child who gets a bad baby sitter, and demands Pop Tarts for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Alls good until his teeth fall out. My 2c
I’m not a fan of the Kings but understand to some degree why GM Blake decided to try to go big with Dubois: the Kings had yet to win a playoff series since having hoisted a Stanley Cup in 2014. The execution was badly flawed considering PLD’s attitude issues with the CBJ and Jets. PLD’s porn production is IMO why this season is his seventh that has featured NHL action while Nail Yakupov and Jake Virtanen only lasted six such seasons before having chosen to move on, for the most part, at least, temporarily, to the KHL (Yakupov, long-term; Virtanen, for one season before the Russian military invasion of Ukraine would prompt him to flee Russia as soon as he could).
