Winnipeg owned LA in that trade.
No sooner do the Caps get rid of one dud in Anthony Mantha than they get a monstrously worse one in PLD…
The bergevin hate is so pathetic at this point. Sorry he beat the leafs Adam. This podcast has an obsession with certain people who have beaten the leafs in the past
Pierre-Luc Duboismort…As a habs fan who didn't want him, I can only laugh at this and feel bad for LA fans (value wise). Bergy is a clown. That is all.
Backstrom is definitely not coming back at all, and Oshie is very likely done, too. So the Caps have more space available, even with PLD, than people think.
I just dont get this trade for the caps. I just dont. The only possibility is that if he turns on some jets and figures it out, which i doubt. Ill try to be optimistic. But like….8×8 is TOUGH. Even without the NMC
Adam talking like a Habs fan criticizing Bergevin constantly. He does have a point though.
Looks like Ullmark had LA and NJ on his no trade team.
Someone explain why the Washington Capitals made this trade???????
Caps have a lot of cap space and they are trying to risk it and hopefully it works out., thats all. Worst case he is bad and Caps rebuilding any way for next 5-6 years… see it this way, caps pay for PLD extra 3m next 3 years and didn't loose any prospects or picks
Vilardi, Iafallo, Kupari, 2nd round, PLD for Darcy Kuemper. Great job Rob!
Yeah not fond of that PLD contract. I might not believe in PLD, but i trust Carbery wholeheartedly. Its a high risk high reward scenario for the caps. Getting rid of Kuemper would have cost a few draft picks and adding a young skilled player would have also cost them a lot. They were looking for a young top 6 forward and all i can hope is that this works out.
Don’t hate this for either side, Dubois has red flags but is still young enough to turn this around – that’s worth giving up Kuemper especially when you’re not focused on winning games.
For the Kings, you add a goalie capable of being the starter on a cup winner while getting rid of a potential boat anchor contract at a position where you have a surplus (Kopi, Byfield, Danault)
Capitals are gonna hate this guy. PLD is pure cancer!
It's a risky move for Washington, but I don't think it's quite as risky as most people like to say it is. PLD is only 26 years old and Washington needs a Backstrom replacement. More likely than not he ends up having some sort of bounceback during his time in Washington. If Washington wants to try and squeeze anything out of the last couple years of Ovi's career they need to get younger and get him some help and this is clearly part of their attempt at that.
If he does end up bouncing back he could also be a guy they could be a part of their post-Ovi rebuild core. Buuuut that's all assuming he does end up working out for them, a part of me has to think PLD isn't too excited about being sent to a team that's likely a year or two out from a rebuild.
after listening to so-called experts, here is Leafs lineup next year
Stamkos- 34-16
Guetzel – 88- Rinehart
Marchassault – 91 – tkuchuck
74 – 11 -75
44 – montour
Zadorov – Pesce
McCabe – Tanev
sussi – woll
160 m payroll and they still won't get out of first round
gee wilickers
Oh the Caps, what a bunch of suckers!
I am a Caps fan and their GM, Brian McClellan, should be fired on the spot for trading for Pierre Luc-Dubois
How do these guys not know if you can buy-out a player on a no trade, that's all you do is hockey? Amateur hour!
The grippers are so out of control even Adam's arms are getting in on it.
Now the Caps have 2 superstars who don’t play defence.
Kings fan since birth- watched every game since 06. Season tickets. Die hard is an understatement.
I’ve been through some extremely rough seasons in my time. I’m 32 now, and I can honestly say Rob Blake is the worst GM/VP the club has ever seen. Him and Luc need new jobs, at the golf course. Unforgivable.
I agree with Jesse, I don't think Rob Blake is a very good GM either.
I get the apprehension after last season and the price tag, but PLD's stats in his two prior seasons
27g, 36a in 73gp in 22-23
28g, 32a in 81 gp in 21-22
I don't think this is the guaranteed L for the Caps that I have been hearing it is.
Once again Adam saying he knows for a fact that he knows PLD is a Bergevin guy without a shred of evidence other than what comes out of his lying mouth. This same dude lied about knowing that Shanny would be fired and instead he's still here. Only in sports media can you lie about knowing stuff and still be credible.
Washington needs a new GM
Rob Blake acquired a 34 year old sub-par goalie with a 5 mil cap hit (who he originally traded when his cap hit was 650k) for 3 players who were 1st round picks, and 2 players who were 2nd round picks…..and he did about the same thing with Cal Petersen…..
Quick was 18-9 with 2.62 Gaa and .911 save %…..as a back up in NY. He still has value in the right situation.
