Remember when LA fans ragged on our city? Made fun of us? Said PLD just didn’t want to play in a « barren frozen isolated wasteland? Coming to LA would turn him into the superstar he was always intended to be. One team could be considered a coincidence but this is the 3rd team he is having issues on. (4th if you count junior) Looks good on LA.

The Dubois deal isn’t looking great but deciding to rely on Talbot, Copley, and Rittich in goal for a team that wants to contend is a far worse choice.

Yeah, good riddance!

That’s one of the best written, lucid hockey analyses I’ve read in a long time.
“The fact that he (Dubois) was reported…as the first player on the ice at practice Tuesday won’t deodorize a stench worse than sweaty hockey equipment left in the rain.”
“For the exorbitant price of $8.5 million a year, the Kings have an offense-first (and second and third) player in a 20-way tie for 236th in scoring.”
Brilliant.

I disagree, Trade looks great

Wtf. I guess he doesnt have Schiefele and Connor to carry his heavy ass in LA

If you consider Laine was the original asset, the Jets are doing pretty well.
Cap hit Dubois $8.5m. Cap hit Laine $8.7m.
The Jets have 3 contributing roster players combined cap hit $8.43m.
And getting Roslovic off the roster has inherent value too.
Good job Chevy.

1. Screw Dubois…I’m laughing all the way home after that trade….
2. I said it then, I’ll say it now. When Kopitar was drafted I had him as « one to watch » 1337 games 1181 points, playoff wins, big part of 2 cup wins, team scoring leader 15 of 16 years, big strong, does it all player….and yet? rarely talked about in National media…

Getting vibes of the days when Buffalo, under Lindy Ruff would make players every team wanted and then did nothing after Buffalo traded them.

While Dubois definitely hasn’t played up to his contract yet.
With all the shit he is taking… has me worried he will become a 100 point player next year and we won’t hear the end of it….
