OK Guys, it’s time to talk about the struggles of Pierre Luc Dubois, and the LA Kings.. The Habs may have dodged a bullet by not acquiring Dubois from the Winnipeg Jets.. He is only half of a season into his brand new contract, and while there is lots of time for him to improve, you have to admit.. It’s pretty scary lookin’ right now..
The articles that were in the video were screenshots from Habsfanatics.com, I highly reccommend you to check out this site for further Habs News,

Habs already had one of those, it was called Jonathan Drouin. No offence no defence no effort. Great move not trading for another one of those.
There is some Bergevin influence under that trade and signing…we dodge the bullet…big time
I'm a french canadian, a québécois like Dubois. I like having québécois playing for the Habs, of course. But I never wanted Dubois. I'm glad Hughes didn't fall for this trap.
Dude literally got traded from every team hes been on he has a listening problem he does not like to put effort in annd he really hates to be called out for it rinse repeat
As a jets fan, he was the most frustrating player to watch. You know he can play, but he chooses not to. Side note, this should be the end of the Rob Blake Era. He got fleeced!! Bad!
PLD vs Gallagher and Armia and Xhekaj, I would do it
PLD has 20 points and 4th on the team in PIM. Gallagher has 16 pts and 3rd on the team in PIm. There's a comparison.
Sometimes player's develop chemistry, some coaches get the best out of players, some players just make line-mates look better than they are and get points, some players just have that skill. If PLD can't perform in LA with players that can score imagine him in the spotlight in Montreal.
You sound like a newfie.
Slafkovsky 20pts, Dubois 20pts and Kotkaniemi 18pts…
As a Kings fan i don't think it's all on PLD . The way McLellan throws line combos around it was almost bound to happen . If anything id say they need some drama after a great start and i prefer to have it happen now .
PLD is to the regular season what Mitch Marner is to the playoffs: invisible.
"20 points might not sound that bad" – Sounds bad to me! lol
8.5 mil/year is a relatively good participation prize imo.
PLD is Jonathan drouin 2.0 never felt good about his character
Jets fan here….We are so grateful to the LA Kings for taking the pathetic Dubois off our hands…..To boot you also gave us 3 great players 😂😂😂😂😂 so thanks again and have fun with Dubois lol
My offers last year for PLD were Gallagher Norlinder Kidney and a few 2nds. But, He'd sign 6y at 6.5. Happy Kent did go LA nuts.
Pier-Luc Douchebois.
– A Quebecer
Pier would stop more pucks than Jake Allen so I don’t see any issues lol
Elated that the Habs took a hard pass on this flunkie.
I glanced at an article a few days back and the title was something like "LA already tired of Dubois' act" Didn't want him in MTL. Will never want him in MTL. Dodge a bullet we did dear Junkie me b'y.
I was so upset and baffled when I saw Rob Blake gave up Vilardi, Iafallo and Kupari, but I was hopeful that PLD would excel in LA. Unfortunately that hasn't happened yet. It was fine during the first half of the season, but now I literally don't even have words to describe how I feel. 2024 has been nothing, but pain and misery as a Kings fan. Doughty called guys out and it didn't work. At this point they need a good scrap at practice. Maybe that'll help douse the tire fire
Can you believe P.L.D. is making the same money as J.T. fucking Miller?
I bet their GM stops listening to Bergevin now lmao.
Kings fan here. There are no words. He's -13 on the ice. The next worst king is -5. Between his disappointing play and Kempe becoming invisible, this past month has been shocking. My boyfriend and I constantly complain to each other about PLD's 8-year contract. A lowlight for me was the night we honored Kopitar (who scored the opening goal!) resulting in a 5-3 loss to Buffalo at home.
"Tirefire" with GASOLINE! Aww beautiful. Good one.
Worst player in NHL history since Steve Moore
Blake is somewhat of a moron when it comes to contracts. Cal Petersen got a contract without really proving himself, Blake gives up what is essentially 4 players (2nd round draft pick) for a player who has been known as inconsistent, hands him an 8 year contract without any hiven cause other than PLD saying, "I want to be here." OF COURSE PEOPLE WANT TO BE HERE IT'S SUNNY PRACTICALLY ALL YEAR ROUND!!!
The reason why Lombardi was successful as a GM was because he was looking for players who wanted to compete, who wanted to win, and more importantly hated losing (Drew Doughty). Blake I think has overlooked this trademark in competitive sports. Quick was a competitor and you need his voice in the locker room. This downward spiral the kings are going through makes zero sense. Blake had the right pieces, but lacked patience to give his younger guys time, even though they were ahead of schedule in making the playoffs. Yes they lost to the Oilers 2 years in a row, but the kings who won it all in 2012 lost to Vancouver the two years prior in the forst round as well. I don't know if PLD is entirely to blame, but Todd needs to take control of WTF is going on in the locker room, and Blake needs to learn how to read people before trading and signing some potential lazy ass diva
Crazy how as soon as the Jets get rid of PLD they're in the battle for Presidents' Trophy lol
We just got out of a toxic relationship ship with Drouin.l at 5.5m. Imagine going right into one for 8.5m for 8 year
Kings fan here, he better get at 50 points per season. Valarie was injured a lot. His first 2 years in the league, Iafallo was a really good, not great 200" player. I'd be ok with just one of those 2 back if someone will get PLD off my team. Blake should get fired for this trade and his lack of attention to the goal tending debacle.
He only wanted to flirt with napping in Montreal. He'll still get a Cup B4 a Canadian team, though. It hurts, but he wouldn't have helped our 4-60-yrs rebuild. Still hoping Montreal eventually beats temp-Canadian contenders, but I'll prob be dead in yr 7-10.
He bailed on Torts, because he was not character tough, not coachable. When the coach calls you out by name, not a cool management thing to do by the way, and Doughty pipes up. It has to be really bad. Teams should have performance bench marks in all contracts, to protect themselves.
Yeah, Dubois is not working out, but the problem is McClellan. Need a new coach.
i never wanted him and was getting when people said he would our best player we take him and then give ghules with other assets
Well, at least the Habs dodged a Pierre Luc Dubois-sized bullet! Guess they don't need another player with a "craptitude" for the game! 😂+
I was saying from the get go that i wouldn't touch this kid. He as a lot of issues, also extremely lazy. Mostly the only Habs fans that wanted him was the french fans. Could you imagine how bad he would be getting blasted by media and fans in a market like Montreal.
Kings could've signed Hellebuyck! They would then be best team in the league without a doubt!
All i have to say is, hahahahhahaha
So grateful Montreal didn't get twisted up with that sht show, steady as she goes by's.
I'm Québécois, and that guy is a shame.
Bust
I’m a life long Kings fan since 93. PLD is a massive bust and was disappointed when they got him. Rob Blake is a terrible GM who should’ve been fire long ago.
You know what else could have been BAD for us??? i was just thinking, (uh-oh!), lol. Imagine if we traded for Carter Hart! His career could be over. I cant see him being charged with sexual assault, and being able to cross the boarder night after night, to play hockey! I really wanted them to pull the trigger at the time too, goes to show, some times management knows things we dont, (im sure Hughes and Gorton knew about the whole indecent). I am gonna try to trust management more from here on in, they lost me with the reinbacher thing, but this move, or non-move may have been our best all year! GO HABS GO!!!
Send him to the AHL, maybe someone will pick him up and his contract. He doesn’t deserve the NHL.
