Any GM that wants PLD after following his career should be immediately fired for terrible judgment. This is who he is and a change of scenery is not going to change his intensity and how hard he plays. There are other players to give a chance to who don’t have the talent, but will bring it every game.
@lordofwar1441 it would have bin a bit better if blake had of signed pld as a free agent but to trade valardi ,iafallo 2nd round pick wich was durzi is crazy but I hope pld really turns it around in LA
Well, at least he turned out to be better than Jesse Pulijujarvi. Recall that Columbus was expected to draft Pulijujarvi given that the GM was also Finnish. The then Columbus GM took a chance on Dubois, and it looked to be a good gamble-for a while...heck his value improved so much from the day he was drafted to the time of being traded to Winnipeg that the Jets were willing give up Patrik Linne to get him.
How much of acquiring PLD was at the hands of Bergevin who covered the player? How LA hired him as a consultant was ridiculous when he didn't 10 years destroying the Canadiens with his lack of vision and rudderless management of the Habs.
To be fair Bergevin did do a couple good moves, like Suzuki trade for starters. But more than not his decisions hurt Montreal but glad it won't take 8 years to fix
@@shuvmesumknowlegde The Suzuki trade is a win because VGK and Montréal chose the get / protect the wrong guy i.e. Cody Glass so VGK propose Nick Suzuki instead of Glass. Montréal have no choice but to accept the offer for their captain Max Paccioretty a 35 goals a season scorers. The next year Nick Suzuki became a dominant player in the OHL and Bergevin pass for a genius instead of being lucky. Cody Glass never developed to be the dominant player as predicted and end up in Nashville, Tennessee with the Predators.
@@AlexandrawOfficial_Lexi Kings are NOT still rebuilding, at least not based on how they've behaved the last couple off-seasons. That said, whether or not they have enough assets on their roster to boast a strong enough core group of players to contend with in the near future is another debate
Even if it makes them look really bad, they should totally do this or at least trade him. If they save ~5.5m a year doing this for 14 years, they can easily pick up a 2nd line forward with that money especially with the increasing salary cap. They still have Byfield, Roy, and Arvidsson to sign, and I'm thinking they need lock all 3 up because they have so few right handed shots on the team as is. They also need to sign a competent young goalie that can be their starter for 5 years with Portillo serving as backup. There's not many great free agent goalies next year, so they'll probably have to trade for one, or be willing to sign someone like Kahkonen or Samsonov. I'm hoping they involve Dubois in a trade like was rumored near the trade deadline with the Bruins. Maybe Pittsburgh is more willing to trade Jarry now that Letang and Malkin are hitting their peaks? Dubois could serve as a transition center once the Penguins start rebuilding in a few years.
I in the last game against Edmonton i. saw a few glimpses of PLD comtroling the play effortlessly. The guy has great talent. He could be one of the best centre in the NHL if he put the effort
@@joeya8721 Yeah even if you forget the Kings have 7 years @ 8.5 million remaining. Dubois wanted out Jets weren't starting in a position of strength rather trying to make best of a bad situation which they did. Dubois is a locker room cancer I hear.
They can't buy him out until the end of the playoffs because of NHL rules. If the cup is awarded before game 7 of the finals, they can buy him out. If game 7 happens, they won't be able to buy him out. The Kings are praying for a cup win in 6 or less.
Yup. Buy him out now and the cap rises its 8% annually and the Kings will a more manageable cap situation. I can't imagine a guy like that playing for Yzerman.
Great Video, as usual, Nathan.. I don't think that The LA Kings should overreact regarding the Pierre Luc Dubois situation. Let me know what you think.
So no they cannot buy out yet the window open either june 15th or 48h after the stanley cup is awarded which ever is later. So if the stanley cup is awarded after june 21st the kings can't buyout
Is PLD gonna go on French radio and complain about the coach and management which results in both of them leaving and becoming the new Huberdeau alongside forcing his team to go into rebuild?
Blake should be fired for all aspects of that trade. The only chance at redemption as GM should be if he can unload this contract to San Jose or Utah while retaining half the salary. Otherwise fire Blake.
Ya that's nuts! He wants to play in Montreal. Im thinking he would be good with Dach and Newhook, but we don't need a premadonna like that. Sorry, dude, but you showed your true character. Bye
A million a year till 2038 is surprisingly little. I would even consider it just to do the basketball thing of declining an option to re-sign them at a more appropriate price. I kinda doubt he would want to after the sh*t hes been eating from the fans and media. He needs to go somewhere hockey isnt important. On the other hand top centers are what you need to win the cup and Dubois could be better. Thats a really tough call.
How many years left on his contract? You pay 90 per cent or something? Thats nuts. I doubt he gets bought out. I think he gets traded and they have to eat at least half to get rid of him. He clearly doesnt want to be in L.A.
PLD is one of those players I would never bring to my team... can't trust that you're going to get 100% outta him in all situations... I think he's played himself out of 6 million $$$ contracts or anything with length
I don’t think you can compare LA buying out dubois to Vegas. PLD is a team cancer. He has been throughout his entire career. He quit on 3 teams. You’re better off without him. I’d be upset when he gets another contract with a team. Just to quit on them after
He has been a problem and crappy teammate on every team he has played on. Why has every team he has played on seemed better to be rid of him? A buyout seems prudent at this time.
Makes for good discussion but no. PLD is at the lowest value possible, kings can afford to give him room to grow over the next couple of seasons and if it still does not pan out, trade with salary retention. Plenty of under achieving 6 million dollar men out there...
Dubois is best suited as a winger He’s not responsible enough defensively and isn’t able to drive his own line He’s there highest paid forward and can’t even center there third line
He has really lost his chance to play in the city he wanted. I am just glad Montreal didn't jump on bringing him to Montreal even though most analysts tried to sell JLD to the Hab fans
GMs have to stop handing these contracts to unproven players and one year wonders. Dubois never even hit 70 points and was going to his third team in 4 years.
Nah, we're fine with being the ones that jacked his price up to drop him on someone else. Thanks, though. He was always a lot more into that idea then anyone besides berggy, untill he wasn't, and now it's too late.
Sounds like in the bigger picture PLD is,....a bust as a player. Sounds exactly like the kind of guy Kyle Dubas is looking to over pay for. Not something needed in Toronto, we have enough floaters here already. #0-57
If there were some interest in PLD from Mtl the boy should pay for the privilege of pulling on the Habs jersey ...say. $7Million. If he was a locker room cancer now he would be infinitely worse in Mtl when he would be in the warm embrace , and encouragement, of his francophone fans in Quebec! He's a waste of oxygen.
Nope. LA would have to retain 50% (unless we can find a 3rd team to pick up 25% of dubois contract) of the entire contract. In return, habs will send LA Anderson and Gallagher with some retention.
PLD is good no where but on his couch watching real hockey players play the game. A buy out would be a dream scenario for him, it's like receiving a rich man's welfare check to stay home
@@irafair3015 petty … he’s about to get , I forgot 11 million a year… an he’s all but invisible out there … A huge problem if you ask me .. over pay an under performing.. our 3rd line players are playing better than him.. in a cap world the Canucks can’t afford another OEL
This bum literally has one last chance next season to prove it other wise he'll be bought out before he lace up another skate. I feel bad for kings fans
He's an underachieving, self serving leach who probably wears earbuds during team meetings. In short, a bum. Buyout or blowout, drop him like a bad habit. Get an offer for 1 roll of old tape and a leaky water bottle he'd be on the next plane if I was GM.
The only realistic option is to get a more offensive minded coach/system and then see if it awakens something in Dubois. A buyout at this point makes little sense
Yeah I think that is a coincidence. The similarity between each of those teams is they overpaid to retain a player that they shouldn't have, not that the player is from Quebec. Those were emotional decisions not completely supported by evidence. Penguins wanna keep the gang together. LA doesn't wanna rebuild. Calgary couldn't afford to get nothing from the Tkachuk trade.
how though? half winging it and floating around with occasional flashes for years would have me offering no more than a one year prove it deal regardless of the team. To be real though, the Habs are doing fine and Dubois seems like the kind of guy who's going to mess with the team mojo and probably drag a couple of guys into the local city nightlife
POS is 25 years old and already on his 3rd NHL team! That's all you need to know about him! Not skilled, not a great teammate, just a middling NHL players that will never be anything special other than having a nice bank account, but with a buyout that's not even all that great for a supposedly elite player! They need to dump him if at all possible and just move on!
