We got ANOTHER??? Pierre-Luc Dubois trade to talk about… oh boy… What are YOUR thoughts on this 1 for 1 swap? Which team do YOU think comes out on top? And do YOU think Dubois can turn his career around? Let me know! #GravGang
He's a child in an absolutely able star status body that aspires to be a leader only in a beer league where he can be truly worshipped.
Hows a guy that's played his whole life not understand a role on what he is to do. He just requires hand holding and constant petting with treats. Will find safety and assurance once he reaches beer league status.
I don't mind getting PLD. Kuemper was one of if not the worst goalie last year. Paying him over 5mil as a backup goalie was never going to happen. Caps need another center so it makes sense.
He’s a punk
Never seen a player with one hand on his stick so much, literally looks like he's on a bag skate in an actual game.
So glad he isn't a Blue Jacket. tbh, no team deserves such a scummy player.
Even if PLD produces 40-50 points a season, it's not the worst trade. (Forsberg for Erat and Latta is the worst trade ever.)
The Kings didn't want to take a chance on a second season, knowing that the NTC would kick in on July 1st.
PLD might play better under a younger coach that can work with diamonds in the rough.
The Caps needs bodies up front. And they can afford to eat up his salary.
Kings got an upgrade in nets and save face by not retaining salary or giving up picks as a sweetener.
The Caps don't mind overpaying, and PLD's "dignity" is salvaged by not asking for more.
Plus the Caps have a wealth in goalie prospects ready for the NHL. No place for Kuemper.
PLD is playing down to his capabilities , SOFT ,fortunately for him he has a better agent in Pat Brisson than he will ever be as a player , thank God the HABS passed on this loser 🤷
keep going
more play without puck
The guy probably has a huge ego and seems to be quite selfish, or at the very least immature. There is a big chance that he thinks the world owes him everything. I hope for Caps’ fans that he didn’t just stop trying because he signed his huge 8yrs contract and that he has nothing to gain anymore by putting the effort. I’m not sure why the Caps traded for him, but there is almost no way that they won’t regret it within the next few years.
He's an elite lazy bum
Washington has a ton of cap space and Kemper on 5m+ as a back-up when they have Shepard and Stevenson in the wings made no sense. That 8.5m cap hit isn't a problem for them especially considering they aren't going to be big FA players. The cap will go up a lot in the next few years and they have a ton of cap clearing in 2 years time. Totally worth the risk.
I get it now. THIS is why they bought out capfreindly.
Stealing memes from Evan rawal smh
I forget who said it but on SiriusXM someone said that Dubois has all the talent in the world but he looks like he just doesn’t like hockey. Watching him all last season, it sure as hell looked like he didn’t enjoy playing hockey at all. Glad the Kings got rid of him and didnt have to give up a draft or retain any of his salary to do it.
Have they started calling him Hot Potato Dubois yet?
As a Sharks fan, I want to thank Rob Blake for his services. Yikes. What a horrible GM.
This is EXACTLY why I didn't want the Habs to trade for him last year. I wouldn't want him even if a team would just say: "Here just take him, we want nothing back in return". He is poison.
I gave up on Dubois the moment he gave up on his team in his famous shift. Entitled jerk.
LOLLLLL 7:46 ''It's basically a bunch of Dubois on this team why not another'' 😂
He’s a cancer to the locker room instead embrace with his opportunity that most people don’t get he act like a little kid,
It is starting to be ridiculous after columbus to Winnipeg and LA now Washington????? that sounds bad no? 8 year contract at 8.5 mil????? what was LA thinking of anyway?
Someone need to give a Brian Dameris to James Harden type speech to PLD.
