Let me know your thoughts on the future of PLD
Stanley Cup can go until … June 24!
Do it, do it, do it.
Looked at the buyout numbers…it's 14 years so awful in that respect but the dollar value per years especially with the cap going up in the future and after the 1/3 discount aren't egregious; particularly the last 7 years where it's only 1.1mil and not more than 3.8mil in the first 7. If they think he's that much of a disaster they need to do it now.
I really hope dubois is watching all of this deserved negativity of his poor work ethic, this better be a wake up call to him to PUT IN THE WORK to be worthy of 8.5 mil other wise he'll be having a buyout history like Scott gomez and lecavalier. WAKE UP DUBOIS
Some nhl gms are nuts and it's ruining the sport.
PLD SUCKS!!! No team is gonna want him no matter the savings
What a disaster for the Kings. They cannot trade this guy without accepting to a large portion of his salary so, a buyout seems like their best way out of his deal. His next team will not make the same mistake so I expect a one year deal at $1.5 million. No team will sign him for a long time based on his past record.
Buy out possible but unlikely if before June 24, no chance on the 25th.
Kings totally mismanaged him and playing him with rookies and bottom of the line up. Of course he’s going to put up low numbers. You pay him as a high end center, play him at least on the second line and move danault on the 3rd where he should be. Once again, if Lizotte is your 3rd line center with Trevor Lewis, you’re already fucked. Plus the 1-3-1 is terrible for offensive players.
This is such a tough position to be in if you’re LA. Essentially, your track record here is calling for a rebuild, but on paper your roster says otherwise. In my opinion, the PLD buyout HAS to happen. The question then remains on whether or not that will have a trickle down effect going forward with the rest of your roster… If they’re not all in, it wouldn’t surprise me if some of the main pieces there (Kopitar, Doughty, etc.) would want a shot somewhere else.
Do the Maples Leafs pls
Don't agree with you Mike on your assessment of Kevin Fiala. I mean maybe that contract won't age well at this point in time, but you can't argue too much with 140 plus points in the last two seasons at under 8 mil. Dubuois can only dream about that kind of production.
What a 💩 show that contract has been
I learn alot from you….
Chevy says sorry Kings, no refunds
They're either going to buy out his contract or trade him with retention. No way they continue going forward after watching his severe lack of effort all season and playoffs. He just doesn't fit in the system the Kings play because he shines on bad teams where he can just do whatever he wants (kinda like Erik Karlsson when he was on the Sharks). Roy, Arvidsson, and Byfield all need to stay, and I think the Kings could sign them all easily if they back load their cap hits to the 2026-27 season when Kopitar is likely to retire. This would leave a good two year window to remain relatively competitive with Kopitar still captaining the team. They will almost certainly seek a right handed 2nd/3rd liner as well given their lack of good right handed shots.
I'm really looking at the Penguins as potential trade partners for Dubois. They're almost certainly about to go into rebuild mode with Malkin/Letang slowing down (Crosby probably isn't, I mean look at what he did last year), so Dubois could be an interesting option to fill in the gap. The Kings could try to get Jarry from them with Dubois, like they tried to do with Ullmark from the Bruins at the deadline. I really don't expect the Kings to even consider going into another rebuild because their roster has a ton of talent, it just lacks consistency right now. Hopefully they figure it out this off-season.
That contract is looking like it's a Pierre Luc Albatross lol
The real winner here is PLD. Dude figured life out and is now rich as heck for doing almost nothing in the NHL
Can't see them doing that this summer maybe next year if he doesn't improve. If he is bought out does he even get another NHL team willing to take a chance on him? It could be the KHL or another European league for him. Some have said he is a coach killer but if he is bought out does Rob Blake the LA GM pay the price by being fired. The Columbus GM has been fired so….
Yes do the buyout we young prospects ready to play now
KHL!!!
If they can buy him out at 1/3 it would be the best option and let’s hope no more nhl teams take a chance on him
figured it would have took 2 years
Great report Mike!
Re: PLD: attempt to trade him with retained salary. If that doesnt work BUY THE CHUMP OUT! He has destroyed what chemistry there could have been on the Kings. When Kopitar & Doughty have lost faith in you the team has to act now & get the best arrangement via trade or buyout that they can get and start their rebuild.
AND…Please….Kent Hughes… don't bring PLD to the Habs!!!
With all due respect to PLD, perhaps he is simply a misfit, a jinx of sorts kinda personality ?
Pld buyout is not realistic. Trading him with 50% retained, youd still get a 3rd or 4th round oick atvthe very least
It will only work if LA buyout Dubois before his anniversary and after the Stanley Cip is won. If that happens, they can buy his contract to 1/3 of it's value. Anything else, they will be forced to pay 2/3 of his contract. That's why the rumors are goings awire.
Yeah Buy him out and let him get away from the Offensively stifling 1-3-1,He`ll be 30% more productive at the very least, not a PLD fan but hve played the 1-3-1 ewwwww
as a kings fan. i was not happy with the trade for PLD. Since Villardi is the best player in the deal. but he also cant stay healthy. whats more crazy. is the rumor that there was a trade with boston for Ullmark for PLD. and Ullmark declined the trade. Imagine if that actually happened. It would have been glorious. I do however feel they wont buy him out and hope he does better on the wing. I think the idea is to get byfield at center and have PLD be a winger. I just dont see a buyout happening.
PLD for Columbus, during the playoffs, was a beast for them and he was good for Winnipeg as well.
Chances are he is not as bad as he is now and not as great as he was then.
I wonder where he would sign afterwards
YES ON PLD
LA KINGS , a major disappointment and i have lost all respect for that organization. Rob Blake is a curse word in my home now. Thanks ***
Do it. Robs Blake's job is already lost anyways imo.
At the end of the day the decision is: either give PLD the chance to pick up the pieces and become what he can be… while risking the whole team's salary structure in the process… Nope. You can't give a single guy that much sway on the team. Besides, after the first half of the season we were saying he has the second half to make up for things… then it's the playoffs, surely he can make up for his poor play there, even become a folk hero…. nope.
Take advantage of that window, because he's gonna be much MUCH harder to trade. You have to bite this bullet. And re-evaluate your hires….. if Bergevin is really there to replace Blake… just, take a wild guess as to who fought to get PLD there…
this is why LA was trying to pawn him off to the Bruins in an Ullmark trade. Boston dodged a huge mistake.
I'm a Jets fan in Winnipeg. For the years Dubois was with us, he's was really good 2/3rds of the time. He was a breast and good in all 3 zones. He seems to have gone down-hill big time in LA. He's got it in him to be a great player, but even playing in a big market like LA, where he wants to be, he only shows up 10% of the time.
Huge fan of Dubois and all of the damage he is doing to LA! He's playing 4D chess. Why make $8.5M for one year of hockey when you can put in zero effort and make $8.5M plus $27M in the offseason buyout and then sign a brand new contract with a different team
PLD is a cancer!!
Maybe Leafs could trade Marner and Reilly for Byfield and Clarke and Kings 2024 1st round pick and Leafs could take PLD off Kings hands and buy him out.
Out with PLD and hurry!
PLD didn't work out?
😂
He's a 2 million man . Thank goodness Montreal didn't bite.
The players list aren’t that big it’s the contract. Vilardi is made of glass as highlighted this season. The money owed is the biggest hurdle
Send him to ahl or less for rest of his career
Is there anyone out there who actually believes in PLD? Please, tell me what I’m missing. This dude is bad vibes wherever he goes as soon as things aren’t going his way.
Seen what he can do but all the other negative crap outweighs the positive.
