What was missed is that after the Dubois trade Scheifele and Hellbuyck both signed long term deals the same day.
As a Habs fan, im SO HAPPY we didnt make a move for Dubois
Seriously! When he came to the Kings, I wasn’t excited. Mean while Vilardi and Iofallo are living their best lives 😂😂
That trade by Wpg to LA gave them so many pieces.
Nice deal by Chevy.
As a fellow Habs fan, I am RELIEVED that he is now L.A.'s problem player.
It's about time people have realized this it only took 3 teams and 6 years
8 years lol he’s destroying LA right now
4 teams. He also quit on one of his junior teams.
Well, same for Toffoli and I haven't heard negative things about him.
@@bustywaifus 5 teams, he just got traded to Washington.
@@Mrs.Currie Cause Toffoli actually tries lol
best fucking trade Winnipeg ever made, and got great value for him
Just cost us Laine. A soul for a soul.
@@travispenner3048in hindsight we would have lost laine anyways so it worked out in the end
@@kylerobertson2865 Laine is a bust. He's no franchise player that would make a difference on a team.
WPG fleeced LA in that trade. If it had just been PLD for Vilardi we could have a discussion, but as things stand (especially with that extension) LA really poopied the bed.
The worst thing is that it was so obviously a bad trade too, clear before PLD had even played a game for the Kings.
He needs to realize playing in the NHL is a privilege and people said Jack echiel was a cancer
eichel was never like this, and he had a legitimate beef with the sabres.
PLDiva is just a selfish, entitled twat. as a habs fan, he was rumored to my team for the last 2 years solid. thank all that is holy that kent hughes saw what i did and stayed the fuck away. when we traded for dach at the 2022 draft, he was there, and he sat and pouted like a bitch. he quit on the blue jackets, he quit on the jets, and he's probably going to quit on the kings soon if he isn't already doing it. with his effort level it's hard to tell. this is the kind of p layer you never give a long term contract to. and the kings are praying they can get a compliance buyout soon, or that PLDiva somehow voids his contract.
yes, dubois is the most toxic player in the league and has been for some time. he has the body of a man, but he still needs his diaper changed regularly. he has the worst contract in the league, and nobody will take him on now, unless they're monumentally stupid. better LA than us.
Eichel just want to win , PLD is the true cancer
He didn't give himself that contract!
@@steve8803 well he needs to understand that to play in the NHL it's a privilege not a birthright
@@rileyholden-zc9ip you need to understand that LA wanted him and chose to give him the contract. "It's my birthright" was never part of the negotiations. 😂
And now PLD is traded again. After 1 season in LA, he's with Washington.
I’m still trying to figure out why LA traded for him & then signed him to an 8 year extension.
because rob blake is a retard, apparently.
Brain fart in imagining him being an 80p per season guy
His agent and Luc Robitaille are buddies. This was a terrible trade that LA will suffer for as long as Dubois is on the roster.
@@mikemiltko7151 also bergevin has a man crush on him. he’s working for the kings now.
@@mikemiltko7151 oh wow smh..I didn’t think nepotism could make such major moves in the nhl
I remember watching him play for Cape Breton before and after he was drafted by Columbus. After he was drafted there was a noticeable lack of effort and care in his game, this lead to him being benched for the entire third period and then immediately traded.
As a loyal & long-time Jets fan I'll have to agree with you on this issue Alyssa 😊. Great content btw, you rock!
Thank you 😄
As a Caps fan, thank you for this video. It's great to see exactly what we have to look forward to....until he requests a trade again. 😒
And to think that Jarmo chose PLD over Mathew Tkachuk in that draft even though PLD wasn't even a point-per-game player that year in the Q. The year before he was fine, but tailed off badly.
Once again Thank you LA!!😁
Selfishness does not work in team sports. The Dubois trade was the best thing that could have happened for the Jets. The return was gold. All three guys the Jets recieved have great personalities and play for the team. Honostly, just getting rid of Dubois was a win. He is a frustrating guy to have playing for the team you cheer for. I couldn't imagine having to be his teammate.
I was praying for the Habs to not make a deal to acquire him. Imagine trading some of your best young players for a local french Canadian who does not give a f. The Habs would have screwed their rebuild if they did acquire him instead of the Kings. Thank you Kings for your sacrifice.
Such a shame too. Been a little off the hockey scene since the 2018 season or so. Hopped back on in 2020 and been watching the Kings since, my favorite team. Now that this shit is happening it’s becoming harder to watch them. Was absolutely pissed losing to Edmonton twice and seeing Quickie traded (tho I did think he needed new scenery) but man this one hurt the most. Vilardi is great sure. But Iafallo was just the MAN. Such a good support piece. Wish they kept him. Instead they sold the barn for a chicken. Blake needs to go yesterday. What an absolute joker.
The Jets got the best out of Laine (44 goals in 2017/18) then traded him for Dubois and subsequesntly got the best out of him (career year in 2022/23 - 63 pts). The jury is still out on Vlardi in Wpg but what I have seen so far is promising.
I said this the day they got him, "Why would they do this?" He's never even been good -he's better known as a hated player both on, and off the ice. Fans need to start realizing just how important each player's role is INSIDE the LOCKER. Any player who played any higher level can attest to this.
As a Kings fan I'm ok with Doughty or maybe Kopitar as well mentioning him by name, screw that nice PC crap. He has set this team back to salary cap hell and a rebuilding that was almost complete. The way Valardi and Iafallo played last year. The remaining 2 pieces were a true #1 goalie and getting past Edmonton. No easy task I get it but winning the Stanley Cup is really hard, right. The biggest problem is I don't hear anyone mention an out of this contract. Hopefully we have a really hot summer and his northern butt can't handle it and he asks out. What a CHUMP!
The "L" in PLD stands for "Lackadaisical." He will be an albatross around the neck of the Kings. He'll have scoring runs here and there but no consistency. He doesn't have the fire.
Totally agree. I'm surprised ( and extremley grateful) the leafs didn't sign him for 22 years lol.
@michaeldavidson3155 yeah the leafs have their own share of forwards on ridiculous contracts that denies them the ability to build a well rounded team with depth.
I'm using the Kings in Franchise Mode on NHL 23. He fucking irks me there too. Always complaining about his role on the team and that he's losing morale and trust in management. It's a little too real!!!
Here again right after he’s traded to Washington lol
LA didn’t last long…lol
Been wondering for years now. Why do you play "You are not alone" by Michael Jackson in pretty much all your videos?
Just reminding PLD that he’s not alone, even if he thinks he is.
no he is alone and no one likes him. @@madmikeschannel8128
Bringing this guy in cost Todd his job. It will also cost Blake his position and will hamper Jim Hillers career as an NHL head coach. I havent been this disappointed in a Kings team in a long time.
thanks winnepeg
You're welcome Pleasure was all ours lol
Habs almost traded for PLD. Well guess what? 19 yr old Slafkovsky is on pace to have more pts this season than PLD. Great non-trade by the Habs.
LA finally ruined him by giving (technically Jets) him the big boy contract. Now he don't even need to try since he got paid, just hang out and pick up the paycheck.
Thank hell Hughes is our gm now if Marky Mark was still in charge he would have traded Suzuki Barron and 3 1st round picks then sign him to a 9 year contract worth 10 million per year
Honestly this is a great video! Haven't seen your channel before.
Thank you! Glad you found it 😊
and the Kings traded a GREAT player to be in Gaberial Vilardi, another stupid move by KIngs mgmt.
Great video on PLD. Maybe KK of the Canes for Dubois, Kaliev and a 1st, no salary retained ... Would the Canes bite ? Lol dreaming is free 😅
LA traded away some rising stars for this guy... and he's proven to be NOTHING.... as a Kings fan I'm embarrassed..
Well laid out
Kind of wonder if it's instant attitude, does it build up, do people get sick of it
Jets won the PLD trade hands down
everyone won the PLDiva trade hands down...except the kings.
The guy is a legend only in his own mind
He had 63 points (?) last season and got signed for 8 years with 8,5 m aav? 😅 way to go Kings 😜
As a ducks fan.. Lmaoo at the Blake!!
What does LA have to pay to buyout his contract?
The thing that he doesn’t realize is what’s best for him is best for his teammates. Not sure how you cure selfishness like this. It’s like he wants to be running the whole franchise that he plays for. I can’t understand how a guy can even get to that level and think this way. It’s actually really sad
Have him skate with Matt Duchene
How many more years do they have to pay him?
If I were the kings and he demanded a trade I'd be like yea we'd love to trade you but you gotta behave at least for now to make it happen
and who the hell would trade for him?
That cancerous player with that ridiculous contract... Good luck finding any takers.
@@doaftheloaf a team that's willing to buy him out with hefty sweeteners
@@sheaandrus-oak6546 buying him out after this year is a cap hit of 4.25m for 14 years.
It's honestly shocking that he has been able to stay in the league when he behaves this way. It's crazy that people will get thrown off a team for their behavior off ice, Dubois' behavior ACTUALLY effects the on ice performance
Hit bottom with the recent 7-0 loss to the Sabres.
It depends on the locker room, the coach or the player.
Nobody is the bad guy. It's probably a mix.
Dude’s been a dog on every team he’s played for as a pro.
He’s the problem.
4 different coaches, 3 different teams and 3 different environments and he is still sandbagging and being a cancer. It's 100% him.
it happens everywhere he goes.if you can't see a pattern, you're mentally defective.
4 teams including his junior team he had an issue with I think it’s him not coach or the team.
The Kings can't trade PLD's contract. No other team would want to acquire it. They're stuck with it thru the 2030-31 season.
He’s French so probably
Who will pick that contract? Teams are gonna wise up and stay away from PLD. He’s a depreciating asset.
JR was right...he has No Pulse!
It's a shame with all that god given talent and he just slums it thru games.
GMRB & Lucky Luc should get the axe for that 1-sided trade!
So happy he didn’t end up in Montreal.
And now we're stuck with him smdh our GM and President needs to go they have no MF clue what they're doing
So happy a "Team Like That" got burnt trading for Dubois.
If he demands a trade out of LA, I hope he realizes teams are going to start to do the math & not want a thing to do with him. Especially with his salary hit. He is putting the nails in his own coffin if this is true.
Schefele is locker room cancer
How?
Well someone had to take the title since subban isn’t in the league anymore.
It’s a situation on the management.
They ignored his record of inconsistency. Like Matt Duchene he can contribute offensively..but not every shift every game. Teammates haven’t disliked him..he was fine in CBJ and Winnipeg locker rooms.
This is so original
Maybe he's not that great of a player
talent is there, effort and maturity are not.
So basically he’s like a lot of NBA players
I think more people than just myself thought he was a cancer in Columbus
PLD is way overpaid. I wonder if he will be happy eventually. He does have potential and skill but hasn't shown anything yet. 8.5 million a season for a 16 goal scorer is a rip off.
He was a cancer in Columbus and Winnipeg and LA couldn’t see it.
phill the thrill to van
KHL.
He still wants Montreal, but MTL doesn't want him.
Didn't people say Torts was too hard on this kid or something?
Torts is hard on everyone, maybe PLD was too soft and couldn't handle being yelled at when he screwed up.
LA and WPG just might be a playoff matchup this year. If it happens, I bet on LA winning and PLD being an impact player in the series.
Yeah, you wish. Not happening. Jets are more stacked and are a better team overall.
@@sjdrifter72 Yeah, those knobs said the same thing about the Habs. Then got swept! lmao
Nice
Prize for the most toxic player:
Brady Tkachuk.
He's a nightmare for Ottawa.
He's one of the main reasons Ottawa is underperforming so badly, especially this season.😮
*grabs popcorn* tell me more
8.5m for 8 years ... Yikes
He can demand all he wants but that contract is untradable.
Biggest Cancer?? Since when did Pierre take the title from Rat Boy Marchand?
He’s liked by his teammates. Most other players say they would love him on their team.
Marchand isn’t a “cancer.” He’s a rat. There’s a big difference.
@@kathleenwalsh1676💯
I wouldn't really describe him as a "cancer", He's the type to love to have on your team but he's really shitty to play against. He's their captain for a reason. Great locker room guy
marchand is a pest, not a cancer. two totally different things. marchand gives his all for his team and is really popular in boston. PLDiva loafs it all the time and is a selfish, entitled twat who's quit on multiple teams.
Watching him nightly now he tries maybe two shifts a night and he takes at least one stupid penalty doesn’t play d and can’t score. I want gabe back plus he’s a righty which they need bad. PL disappointment
LA got fleeced
So Evander Kane has now been elevated to not quite as bad as PLD. That's progression...but playing with McJesus can help any plumber of an NHLer.
Habs dodged a bullet I guess
the shift off is severely overrated
Locker room cancer? Evander Kane...hands down.
Not in Edmonton
Oh, I hope LA trades him or he leaves..
You are sweaty with this oh greatest cancer of TH-cam
How do you view someone as a cancer because he wants to win he wants to do better is that considered to be cancer or when he gets mad because the team is not performing
if he wanted to win, or do better, he'd give effort, consistently. he does not do this. if he wants to be mad about his team not performing, his effort level is at the top of the list of reasons why. face it, he's an immature brat, and he pouts when he doesn't get his way. like he did at the 2022 draft when the habs traded for dach instead of him. he's the biggest karen in the NHL. i call him PLDiva, and it's bloody well apt. yes, he's a cancer.
if you don't understand this, you don't watch him play.
How to let the internet know you've never watched PLD play...
When you don’t care enough to even put in an effort for your team your a cancer. It’s a team sport not a me sport.
give more breathy, high-register Drew Doughty interviews in your voice please 😂😂
Overrated
I'd say Blake is the most toxic part of the Kings! The fact he didn't see this before giving away 4 players and paying this BUM $8.5 per for 8 years just shows you he has no idea what he's doing! Oh and the fact the KIngs have just totally collapsed at this point with a roster that has nothing going for it!
This video and comments tell me none of you have watched the recent games and only look at points
Have you been watching the games? If he was cancer the teammates wouldn’t invite him to hangout or even speak to him. Dude is always smiles and chatting it up with his teammates
when PLDiva is on the ice, the kings are shorthanded at even strength. he couldn't show less effort if he was asleep.
I’ve watched all the Kings games this year and PLD looks uninterested and grumpy
When he was put on the top line with Kopitar and Kempe, Kempe purposely did everything he could to avoid passing to PLD. My latest 'favorite' thing he does it point out the offensive player for his teammates to cover, but it is actually his defensive assignment. See doaf's comment in this thread. It is the truth.
How does watching the games equate to looking into the dudes personal life, and who he hangs out with?
What the hell kind of question is this? Did you even read what you wrote before you posted it?
Nothing new here, you're just barfing up the same speculation everybody else is spewing. Shoddy work on this one.
So, couldn't help but you have three separate hit pieces on Dubois.
Not getting along with Tortorella isn't a red flag; it's a sign of character. Did you forget that Torts was fired for being a toxic, xenophobic piece of crap? The guy who decided Tony D'Angelo was in the right after punching one of his teammates for the crime of *checking notes* being Russian?
Funny how the guys in Winnipeg had nothing to say until they re-signed, and Dubois left town. And seriously, Scheifele? The guy who only plays defense when committing a 200 foot charging penalty? Do you have ANY reputable sources? Oh right. You clearly didn't do any research; you just grabbed other peoples' opinions and recycled them.
And did we really start taking Drew Doughty as a shining beacon of leadership in the NHL? The guy who appears on multiple top 10s in categories like "biggest douche in hockey" and "dirtiest player in hockey"? To say nothing of worst contract in hockey. You think he'd have some empathy for someone who grabbed the bag and then struggled.
You know what could have saved this piece of yellow journalism? Talking to Dubois. For someone so "toxic"; it's weird that I can't find any quotes from him, other than saying that everyone is entitled to their opinion about him and that he has trouble making friends.
Scandalous.
No one deliberately underacheives. Not with millions on the line.
Plenty of people flounder under shitty bosses and broken systems, though. And it often looks like you've stopped trying as you watch your dream career get flushed by someone like Torts.
There's something bigger at play here, and you completely missed it, didn't look into it and will probably remake this video 6 more times while begging people to subscribe, buy you a coffee and support your patreon.
Keep bitching and crying like the little pussy boy that you are.
Triggered, Pierre-Luc?
Chevy knows how to deal with cancers: Kane, Laine, Roslovic and Dubois. Gimmie Vilardi, Iafallo and Kupari over him all day.
Kane has turned himself around in Edmonton but I don’t see PLD turning anything around
Laine is not a cancer lol unless you count the poor guy's non existent self-belief
@@EffigyyThat friskyjets guy is a clown and he don’t know sxit about hockey!!
@@ryans413 Not sure Kane will ever really 'turn himself around'
@@Effigyy I feel sorry for Laine too, however he is a difficult player to have on your team (good luck Montreal)
PLD should be sent down ffs kids a pylon
Never heard this once from a realiable source....ever.
he just forces his way off teams and blames everyone else but himself
What's most frustrating to me is I saw Dubois as a toxin years ago yet teams still rewarded him and pursued him. The Kings definitely reap what they sow here, by their time Dubois' mindset should have been very apparent.
handing these almost-decade long contracts worth tens of millions to flaky fairweather players is such incredibly negligent mismanagement that you have got to wonder what kind of clowns occupy those NHL team front offices. most industries that's a company-goes-bankrupt level of decision making
yeah you should be a GM
@@beerdoIt was more than just me that saw Dubois as toxic. It was widely reported in sports media as well. I'm not GM - but I appear to have a better scouting report on Dubois than LA did.
The easiest way to tell a toxic player and one who's liked by their team is by their celly after a goal. PLD skates away from his teammates and cellys alone, a player who is respected by his team is mobbed in a group hug. PLD rarely ever does the high five bench pass too.
Out of that top 4 draft Mathews , Laine , PLD , Puljujarvi. PLD has been the worst yes both Laine and Puljujarvi had struggles but you never saw a give up mentality but you sure saw it with PLD he hated Torts skated around acting like a baby. No respect.
You can’t say PLD is worse than Puljujarvi. Puljujarvi is hot garbage and doesn’t even belong in the NHL
@@gustavjohansson903 Puls is a mystery, the guy has all the tools to be effective in the NHL, yet somehow he isn't. Some say it was his terrible English when he came over, some say lack of self-confidence, whatever it was it is hard to pinpoint the reason why some (top) prospects succeed and some don't.
As always well done Alyssa. There is no doubt, this guy is a toxic player. You saw it in Columbus, you saw it in Winnipeg, and now the LA Kings are seeing it. It's funny, you see the success the Jets are having this season and how the Kings are struggling and Dubois, has been not that good this year and signed a huge 8 year contract after getting traded there last year.
Best contract in the league in whole 100+ years the dude is an absolute scare to ur own team
Who will take him with 7 years left at 8.5 mil.nobody will want a guy who does not like hockey but good enough to get a contract. Only team taking him is to get to spend more for minimum cap and it’s going to cost you 2 first or a first a real good young guy
When he got traded to L.A. I just laughed. They gave up decent players and good character guys for that crybaby
I said I’d give him 6 months it’s only been 4 month and he’s dragging the Kings outside of the playoffs.
