Hey if Kuemper doesn't work out and really struggles it's about $2.5 mil over 4 years for a buy out compared to 14 years and whatever the cost for a Dubios buyout
PLD struggled to adjust to the Kings system, yet still put up 40 pts. Caps are a team that go for offense more, having Ovechkin chasing Gretzky's goal scoring record. If things can work out for the better, PLD can get back to 60+ pts again, while helping the Caps boost their offense.
@@dmonsef Even if PLD gets back to being a 60-ish point player, that's still not worth $8.5m a year. Especially when the guy just flat out doesn't compete.
2 teams swapped 2 horrible Contracts
For the next two years, the only thing the Caps care about is the Gretzky chase. Ovie needs help. He lost Backstrom and Kuznetsov. Even at his worst, Dubois can help. After that, the Caps' rebuild will begin in earnest. If Dubois does a great job over the next two years, he should have no problem requesting a trade if he so desires. If he's the same old Dubois, he'll have to sit through a Caps rebuild. When that's done, he'll have shaved four or five years off this contract, at which point, he'll be easy to trade or buy out. MacLellan ain't dumb. Dubois is the best player the Caps could get this summer because free agents are unlikely to pick the Caps who are not a competitive team. MacLellan got ahead of that. Hockey fans ripping on the Caps are looking at this trade from the wrong perspective. It would be a terrible trade if the Caps were trying to compete for a Cup. They're not. Not really. MacLellan can afford to take a risk like this. The only way the Caps could pay a "price" on this is if, I dunno, Dubois is so unbelievably toxic that he destroys the development of the young players around him, which... seems unlikely.
Blake correcting his own major blunder, FIRE ROB BLAKE NOW!
Dubois seems like a really spoiled player who can't take the heat regardless what environment he's in
Crap for Crap. At least Dubois has talent Kuemper is toast so bad
Kuemper's numbers will likely improve in Los Angeles, which is a much better defensive team.
@@jon8004 Lindgren was really good with same D. I hope he works out for Kings. Nothing like Black Ice days in LA
@@Mhoward1507 Lindgren was really good with the same D because Lindgren, at this point, is a much better goalie.
