Kings wanted to give Winnipeg a couple more 1st round picks but, Winnipeg felt sorry for them.
lmao another frenchy habs fans claimed they would get on their team
I'd rather live in LA then Quebec 😂 nice
I'm thinking the Kings are trying to free up some money for a top end goaltender. They gave up a lot for one player in return. I hope they get a top end goaltender.
kings got fleeced
Considering… 1. Dubois wanted out of Winnipeg & 2. That the ONLY other bidders were Montreal, who couldn't supply Winnipeg with the pieces they wanted…this is a fleecing of the highest magnitude. For all that, Kings should've got Kyle Connor. Blake is off his rocker and/or Robitaille's fingerprints all over this one. So much Kings potential flushed in horrible move after horrible move. Bye bye Kings. Enjoy the black hole you've put yourselves in.
DeBrincat next?
PLD only plays when he wants. GL L.A.
Kopi, Danault, PLD is pretty strong down the middle.
You just know PLD is gonna be demanding a trade to the Canadiens in 2 years.
Kings hoping PLD will do what Tkachuk did for Florida and what Eichel did for Vegas.
Well if this is any indication the Sens should get 3 firsts and a number one center for Debrincat
Kings paid less to get Fiala and I doubt PLD makes even close to the same impact that Fiala did
mean while, VAN buys out OEL and quits….
Yo kings wild
That is way, way too much for a perennial 60pt forward.
Somebody in L.A. is drunk in the kitchen. Congratulations to the Jets!
PLD can play Left wing on 1st with Kopitar and Kempe til next season. He’s good on PP and at drawing Penalties. Likely LA gets to the the finals in the next few years.
Im very confused because wasnt jansen Harkins supposed to be in the deal
It does feel like too much and he is getting paid too much. dubois needs to graduate to a 30 goal point a game center next year and I'm not convinced he has it in him. LA doesn't have to resign Kupari or Vilardi now but the additional 4.5 to the cap puts them at $80 million and they don't have a starting goalie. This was kind of the problem last year before they managed to dump Petersen and Quick. They probably need to dump another salary so they can get someone to play with Copley.
Dumped Durzi already but why do you want to revisit that goalie carousel?
Kings got fleeced, wonder if Bergevin had anything to do with this awful trade lol.
As a Los Angeles Kings fan I don’t know how to feel about this.
Are the Kings players thrilled to be sent to Winnipeg?….Or are they now trading chips for something else? With Hellebuyck possibly being moved and a new 2025 C.B.A coming in. Are the Jets thinking re–build?
This will ruin the kings chances in the west. Watch
Give it 18 months and the whiner won't be happy in LA either. Probably will be too many homeless squatting in his mansion.
Chevy might have earned a contract extension himself after this one 👏 well done
It’s an overpay but at the same time only Vilardi had values and he only has one decent season to show for.
This trade stinks of Marc Bergevin. Overpay for an overrated francophone player.
The jets won this trade hands down. LA. Probably have another Drouin on there hands. PLD is a spoiled Brat who only plays when he feels like it. 😂 If someone puts any pressure on him and tells him to pick up his play, he wants ro be traded.
Congratulation to PLD, wish him all the best in L.A.. Wish it could have worked out for Mtl. Mostly thankfull that we can now all move on.
Same number as Horvat
Los Angeles free up salary cap space?
Not hating losing any individual piece, but all of them does smart a bit. It also feels like way too much money for PLD on the contract.
Vilardi has shown some good moves and goal scoring ability, just not consistently yet – I hope he gets there eventually.
Iafallo has been a trooper but was not doing anything we couldn't replace. Winnipeg will love him though, he's a great complimentary piece on the wing up or down in your lineup and is defensively responsible.
Kind of the same but on a lesser scale for Kupari, he's only just established himself on the fourth line but hasn't shown any indications of a breakout. He can skate though!
I just hope PLD meshes with the team and finds chemistry with some of our wingers. We've got a pretty scary trio down the middle now with Kopitar, PLD and Danault, although I don't know how good PLD is on the defensive side.
Chevy should've got Defenceman Sean Durzi(before he was traded to Arizona 3 days ago for '24 2nd pick) instead of a '24 2nd pick.
Great trade for Winnipeg. No way Montreal was going to give up that much for PLD. Also, there was no chance Montreal would give him more than Suzuki and Caufield.
I’m so glad MB is not our GM
Really wish habs could have worked out a trade. PLD will be great in LA as their 1C now that Kopitar is done
Vilardi disappeared 2nd half.. he’s a bust
Vilardi and Kupari are busts. Thanks for taking our trash.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Kings got hosed BIG TIME. Thank god it wasn't the Canadians that were fleeced.
I sense a PLD buyout in 3 seasons
LAKings didn't want right shooting forwards, besides Alfredsson???
Dubois is like the NHL version of James Harden of the NBA.
