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.
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
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. 😂
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.
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
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.
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 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. 😒
Good timing on this with them getting shutout by Buffalo tonight
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 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
Once again Thank you LA!!😁
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.
And now PLD is traded again. After 1 season in LA, he's with Washington.
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
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.
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.
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 😅
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!
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.
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.
Honestly this is a great video! Haven't seen your channel before.
Thank you! Glad you found it 😊
Looking back very funny how bad these trades were for the side that got Dubois
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.
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.
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
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!!!
As a ducks fan.. Lmaoo at the Blake!!
Here again right after he’s traded to Washington lol
Winnipeg getting two top six guys and some draft picks for a mediocre selfish player is insane. Well done Jets
Kind of wonder if it's instant attitude, does it build up, do people get sick of it
I was so nervous when MTL showed interest in him last off season. Thank god he didnt come to MTL
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.
The real Cancer is the Kings GM Rob Blake specially for trading and giving the worst contract for PLD the biggest Bust in Kings history! As long as Blake is the GM he'll keep killing the organization!
How many more years do they have to pay him?
What does LA have to pay to buyout his contract?
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
Well laid out
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.
Everyone can’t be wrong for the entirety of their career. Eventually PLD must look in the mirror and decide the one consistent in these issues is looking back at him. Until he does he will be miserable on and off the ice. What a talent to be so self-absorbed.
He sounds like the perfect Oiler.
I remember when I thought we were getting hellebuyck and then we got PDL and I've been pissed all season
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.
The guy is a legend only in his own mind
He's been good since the coaching change. He'll turn out alright for the Kings.
and the Kings traded a GREAT player to be in Gaberial Vilardi, another stupid move by KIngs mgmt.
This is so original
It's not the fact we lost 3 good players, it's the fact we're saddled with a huge immoveable contract that's messing with the cap...
Huge mistake that will cost good people getting fired.
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 miss Gabe
I’m glad we got him, Gabe has been a difference maker here in wpg
Have him skate with Matt Duchene
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.
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!!
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
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.
Subbed
So happy he didn’t end up in Montreal.
LA didn’t last long…lol
Well someone had to take the title since subban isn’t in the league anymore.
So basically he’s like a lot of NBA players
This is what happens when they include crazy $$$ incentives into these contracts. Guys more concerned about padding their stats, than to work as a unit.
So happy a "Team Like That" got burnt trading for Dubois.
He had 63 points (?) last season and got signed for 8 years with 8,5 m aav? 😅 way to go Kings 😜
I wonder if any teams would even trade for him at this point. Maybe Chicago? 😂
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.
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
Send him to Arizona.
Hit bottom with the recent 7-0 loss to the Sabres.
Apparently the bruins tried to trade Ullmark for him? Thank god Ullmark nixed the trade 😂
Agreed
As a canucks fan I am sooo glad we didn't pick him in the draft
LA traded away some rising stars for this guy... and he's proven to be NOTHING.... as a Kings fan I'm embarrassed..
When the Blue Jackets drafted him 3rd overall in 2016 it caught the Canucks off guard. He was the guy they wanted to draft. They didn't expect the Blue Jackets to take him. They panicked. jumped to plan B and took Olli Juolevi.
Experience Jim Benning Management
Juolevi cost the Canucks a one years draft pick (a real nice one), but PLD costs whichever team picks him up permanently!
Let's all laugh at the kings 😂
Man that's lose lose situation. With PLD you might gain something back but with Juolevi it's straight up bust.
Tbh Juolevi was rated by many scouts as the top Dman (check out the scouting report on Elite Prospects, you would want to draft him yourself), he looked very good at the U20, captain of the team, etc. Turned out very much like when the Bruins drafted Zboril.
Who will pick that contract? Teams are gonna wise up and stay away from PLD. He’s a depreciating asset.
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.
Nice
PLD is a redditor, confirmed.
No need for the question mark in the title
As a Jets fan, we lost Laine who would have been a 50 goal scorer for this goof. THE WORST TRADE IN NHL HISTORY!!
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.
Good luck finding another team to take his contract now
phill the thrill to van
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.
Never heard this once from a realiable source....ever.
Jets won the PLD trade hands down
everyone won the PLDiva trade hands down...except the kings.
He can demand a trade all he wants but who’s gonna take his cap hit 😂
I think more people than just myself thought he was a cancer in Columbus
A women talking about hockey? Woah…
(Sarcasm aside, dope, need more of this. Too many of one kind of person in the space)
no roster spot is guaranteed, he could get waived
You say it's a matter of time before he started demanding a trade away from the Kings, but what does that help? No team in the league wants this guy.
KHL.
He still wants Montreal, but MTL doesn't want him.
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.
Blake and Luc will be fired over this trade. Todd was already fired. PLD is a mass career killer.
What Dubois needs to realize is he's not as good as he thinks he is. A little humility goes a long way in this world.
He’s French so probably
And now we're stuck with him smdh our GM and President needs to go they have no MF clue what they're doing
