Torts was right
What did torts say?
@@jaimeuop1499 torts tells it like it is
that he is soft and shows no energy
Rumor has it that Torts thought he was an entitled brat. Sounds pretty on point to me.
@@jaimeuop1499 When Dubois was in Columbus he butted heads with Torts constantly. His effort was terrible and Torts is not about that at all...
Any GM that wants PLD after following his career should be immediately fired for terrible judgment. This is who he is and a change of scenery is not going to change his intensity and how hard he plays.
There are other players to give a chance to who don’t have the talent, but will bring it every game.
He didn't just trade for him, he gave him a 8.5x8 contract to boot!
I sure hopes that changes
@lordofwar1441 it would have bin a bit better if blake had of signed pld as a free agent but to trade valardi ,iafallo 2nd round pick wich was durzi is crazy but I hope pld really turns it around in LA
was so glad habs didnt get him maybe for 1 mil a season max
Well, at least he turned out to be better than Jesse Pulijujarvi. Recall that Columbus was expected to draft Pulijujarvi given that the GM was also Finnish. The then Columbus GM took a chance on Dubois, and it looked to be a good gamble-for a while...heck his value improved so much from the day he was drafted to the time of being traded to Winnipeg that the Jets were willing give up Patrik Linne to get him.
Can't turn a lamb into a lion. The fact that Blake probably got him to take over for Kopi makes we want to weep.
0 shots in the last 3 playoff games. Shameful
He's modeling his game after Mitch Marner's.
@@dougiesherwin9591 Except he did it first
@@keungy They can team up with Shane Wright, and Jesperi Kotkaniemi.
@@dougiesherwin9591kk had his moments with the habs in the playoffs though.
How much of acquiring PLD was at the hands of Bergevin who covered the player? How LA hired him as a consultant was ridiculous when he didn't 10 years destroying the Canadiens with his lack of vision and rudderless management of the Habs.
To be fair Bergevin did do a couple good moves, like Suzuki trade for starters. But more than not his decisions hurt Montreal but glad it won't take 8 years to fix
@@robertlavigne9828 The Suzuki trade is a win because VGK and Montréal chose the get / protect the wrong guy i.e. Cody Glass so VGK propose Nick Suzuki instead of Glass. Montréal have no choice but to accept the offer for their captain Max Paccioretty a 35 goals a season scorers.
The next year Nick Suzuki became a dominant player in the OHL and Bergevin pass for a genius instead of being lucky.
Cody Glass never developed to be the dominant player as predicted and end up in Nashville, Tennessee with the Predators.
God I am hoping for the fastest Stanley cup series on earth. Sweeps for everybody!
Nah, I'd rather watch an entertaining series. Let others have fun.
Send PLD to the KHL
For the kings sake I hope the cup is awarded early so they can get the cheaper buyout window
Wouldn’t give him 750k AAV
he is worth a few mill as a bottom six
just not 8
has a buyout like this ever happened so quickly? so crazy
Fire Blake and then buyout
Agree, this outcome should have been easily predictable and it could hamstring the organization for the next 7 years.
@@dakotaslim Not even gonna give him a chance to bounce back next year? Can still buy him out with fewer years of dead cap afterwards
Winnipeg thanks L.A. ....huge thank you
Why, you both lost 4-1 In the first round
@@ionystherogue5627 haha great comment
Winnipeg was supposed to also push the series
The Kings are id say still rebuilding
winnipeg id say was less competitive in their series than the kings
WInnipeg truly sucks as they are out of a rebuild
Kings are in one
@@ionystherogue5627 Winnipeg thanks you.....
@@AlexandrawOfficial_Lexi Kings are NOT still rebuilding, at least not based on how they've behaved the last couple off-seasons. That said, whether or not they have enough assets on their roster to boast a strong enough core group of players to contend with in the near future is another debate
Cant buy him out until after cup is awarded gotta hope fir some sweeps
Should be one of the biggest stars in the league and instead is one of the biggest busts. Sad...
"I'll go anywhere the team needs me to go......". How about Salt Lake City? Or Vegas. But the Golden Knights aren't that stupid.
Send’m back to Ohio
He's been on 3 teams already! He's pushing his luck!
Even if it makes them look really bad, they should totally do this or at least trade him. If they save ~5.5m a year doing this for 14 years, they can easily pick up a 2nd line forward with that money especially with the increasing salary cap. They still have Byfield, Roy, and Arvidsson to sign, and I'm thinking they need lock all 3 up because they have so few right handed shots on the team as is. They also need to sign a competent young goalie that can be their starter for 5 years with Portillo serving as backup. There's not many great free agent goalies next year, so they'll probably have to trade for one, or be willing to sign someone like Kahkonen or Samsonov. I'm hoping they involve Dubois in a trade like was rumored near the trade deadline with the Bruins. Maybe Pittsburgh is more willing to trade Jarry now that Letang and Malkin are hitting their peaks? Dubois could serve as a transition center once the Penguins start rebuilding in a few years.
They can't buy him out until the end of the playoffs because of NHL rules. If the cup is awarded before game 7 of the finals, they can buy him out. If game 7 happens, they won't be able to buy him out. The Kings are praying for a cup win in 6 or less.
If they buy him out then whoever signed him in the first place needs to be fired as well.
Is PLD this generation's Dustin Penner?
Genuinely curious what you mean about Dustin. I live about an hour from where he grew up. I was to young follow his career however
Doesn’t Penner have Stanley Cup rings? PLD doesn’t. I don’t agree with that comparison.
@@tonyesquivel7229 Belive Penner is 2 time cup champion
A great talent. When in Winnipeg, he would show signs of the beast. Then other times he wouldn’t show. Winnipeg got a great deal though. Lol
Winnipeg, and their 110 points had as many post-season wins as the Kings. Great deal! 😂
@@joeya8721 Yeah even if you forget the Kings have 7 years @ 8.5 million remaining. Dubois wanted out Jets weren't starting in a position of strength rather trying to make best of a bad situation which they did. Dubois is a locker room cancer I hear.
Rob Blake is essentially playing his job whether he buys him or not...
Yup. Buy him out now and the cap rises its 8% annually and the Kings will a more manageable cap situation.
I can't imagine a guy like that playing for Yzerman.
Andrew Copp?? Chiarot, Holl? Yzerman has his share of contracts providing poor value to the team, don't kid yourself.
He doesn't get paid for the playoffs and who the hell ever said he was a playoff performer? LMAO.
Wtf are you talking about. He gets paid to play the entire season, playoffs included. Are you actually gonna be the donkey making excuses for him?
Don't worry Kings fans, Dubois will pull a "Jets move" in about 2 seasons (meaning demanding a trade)
.Having said that, I think he's a good player. He will be good with someone down the line, but that sucks for LA. Cheers
Blake should be fired for all aspects of that trade. The only chance at redemption as GM should be if he can unload this contract to San Jose or Utah while retaining half the salary. Otherwise fire Blake.
I agree 100%. Signing PLD was one of the dumbest moves I've heard of. I said it when he was signed and I say it now.
@@irafair3015 you can find many players of better value like Perron who makes less than $6 million. Chandler Stevenson below $3 million.
PLD is making the same as Draisaitl. That is all.
The buyout window isn't open yet.
Jets fan laughing here
Guess it's good consolation after the spanking the AVS just gave you guys
@tonybleau6219 yeah, but just think of how badly the Jets would have been "spanked" by Colorado if they still had Pierre-Luc Dubois.
Thanks for covering my tweet, I stand by what I said, give PLD a bigger role or buy him out, no in-between
I agree with this & lean towards keeping him.
I in the last game against Edmonton i. saw a few glimpses of PLD comtroling the play effortlessly. The guy has great talent. He could be one of the best centre in the NHL if he put the effort
His nmc begings next season so can you trade him before season change?
He has been a problem and crappy teammate on every team he has played on. Why has every team he has played on seemed better to be rid of him? A buyout seems prudent at this time.
So no they cannot buy out yet the window open either june 15th or 48h after the stanley cup is awarded which ever is later. So if the stanley cup is awarded after june 21st the kings can't buyout
Is PLD gonna go on French radio and complain about the coach and management which results in both of them leaving and becoming the new Huberdeau alongside forcing his team to go into rebuild?
Almost makes the Canucks drafting Juolevi seem palatable.
Great Video, as usual, Nathan.. I don't think that The LA Kings should overreact regarding the Pierre Luc Dubois situation. Let me know what you think.
PLD is one of those players I would never bring to my team... can't trust that you're going to get 100% outta him in all situations... I think he's played himself out of 6 million $$$ contracts or anything with length
Locker room cancer
Speaking for Habs fans: ABSOLUTELY NOT! I’d rather miss the playoffs the next 2 years. No… way.
A million a year till 2038 is surprisingly little. I would even consider it just to do the basketball thing of declining an option to re-sign them at a more appropriate price. I kinda doubt he would want to after the sh*t hes been eating from the fans and media. He needs to go somewhere hockey isnt important.
On the other hand top centers are what you need to win the cup and Dubois could be better. Thats a really tough call.
NHL rules state a player who’s been bought out can’t be reacquired during the buyout payments - it’s treated as salary cap circumvention
Dubois is best suited as a winger
He’s not responsible enough defensively and isn’t able to drive his own line
He’s there highest paid forward and can’t even center there third line
How many years left on his contract? You pay 90 per cent or something? Thats nuts. I doubt he gets bought out. I think he gets traded and they have to eat at least half to get rid of him. He clearly doesnt want to be in L.A.
Did you watch the video?
More like do you know what hockey is ?
Josh Anderson + Christian Dvorak for PLD
i believe the 1st buyout window starts June 15th or 48 hrs after the awarding of the SC.
😑
Sorry I called you, Nathan, Lego. I only watched A Nathan Video before this. LOL. All of the other things remain.
is PLD over evaluated? but he is not alone in the NHL to be over evaluated?
I don’t think you can compare LA buying out dubois to Vegas. PLD is a team cancer. He has been throughout his entire career. He quit on 3 teams. You’re better off without him. I’d be upset when he gets another contract with a team. Just to quit on them after
To be fair; PLD had a post season comparable too the Jets so the trade was even 😂😂 (pegger here)
Vegas = ruthless but effective. I’m ok with that.
LA needs to be ruthless like Vegas. It's not good to have a black sheep in the room (family).
That sound like the circus Chirelli caused with Eberle traded for Ryan strome then traded for Ryan Spooner then released
He has really lost his chance to play in the city he wanted. I am just glad Montreal didn't jump on bringing him to Montreal even though most analysts tried to sell JLD to the Hab fans
This would be mayhem and I’m here for it.
Send him off with laine
It would help him, the problem is hes not a centre, hes more a sheep for the wing
Can’t they just send him to the farm team
Ya that's nuts! He wants to play in Montreal. Im thinking he would be good with Dach and Newhook, but we don't need a premadonna like that. Sorry, dude, but you showed your true character. Bye
yeah i agree he is a waste
sadly french canadian players are not what they used to be
Sean Avery was right
Whoa, hes getting paid $8.5 milliin?!
Hope the sharks take the risk of he gets bought out
Makes for good discussion but no. PLD is at the lowest value possible, kings can afford to give him room to grow over the next couple of seasons and if it still does not pan out, trade with salary retention. Plenty of under achieving 6 million dollar men out there...
PLD for Viladri was an absolute stupid trafe... Blake needs to be fired
Getting rid of Dubois is about the only thing the jets can feel good about.
I'm starting to think you have a crush on PLD
Carolina will buy him.
GMs have to stop handing these contracts to unproven players and one year wonders. Dubois never even hit 70 points and was going to his third team in 4 years.
Blake was an idiot to sign PLD. How did he not know his track record?
Montreal next?
well take him if u give us back danaud....and 15 first rounders
@@arbor-sq4jkThey’ll just take a buyout .
Nah, we're fine with being the ones that jacked his price up to drop him on someone else. Thanks, though. He was always a lot more into that idea then anyone besides berggy, untill he wasn't, and now it's too late.
If Marc Bergevin was still with habs as GM it is possibke that habs acquire PLD.
He sounds like a project for the Oilers…
PLD is good no where but on his couch watching real hockey players play the game. A buy out would be a dream scenario for him, it's like receiving a rich man's welfare check to stay home
PLD has made excuses his career, each time saying he should be better. Complete POS.
Sounds like in the bigger picture PLD is,....a bust as a player. Sounds exactly like the kind of guy Kyle Dubas is looking to over pay for. Not something needed in Toronto, we have enough floaters here already. #0-57
euro bound
If there were some interest in PLD from Mtl the boy should pay for the privilege of pulling on the Habs jersey ...say. $7Million. If he was a locker room cancer now he would be infinitely worse in Mtl when he would be in the warm embrace , and encouragement, of his francophone fans in Quebec! He's a waste of oxygen.
F PLD! The dude is a total brat
The Kings wanted him more than he wanted them. But him out. He wants only one team and I think he’ll find his game.
After 3 teams ... F this guy, I wouldn't want him near my team's dressing room.
Trade to Montreal, LA could retain 2-3 million for 1st or couple 2nd
Nope. LA would have to retain 50% (unless we can find a 3rd team to pick up 25% of dubois contract) of the entire contract. In return, habs will send LA Anderson and Gallagher with some retention.
He didn't want to go to Montreal, that's why he's in LA
@@Gaz992tsthere are miracles 😅
no ty
You have to mean a 1st goes to Mtl for taking him
Get rid of the bum
He is 25 give him a chance....8.5 million will be a cheap price in only a few years
I guess an early buyout would be cheap as well.
He’s had enough chances to prove that he is going to work hard, and play with intensity. If he hasn’t shown everybody by now, he never will.
You’re nuts bruh
This bum literally has one last chance next season to prove it other wise he'll be bought out before he lace up another skate. I feel bad for kings fans
He's an underachieving, self serving leach who probably wears earbuds during team meetings. In short, a bum. Buyout or blowout, drop him like a bad habit. Get an offer for 1 roll of old tape and a leaky water bottle he'd be on the next plane if I was GM.
he is the argument against guaranteed contracts. show some heart for once, pathetic.
PLD has always been a huge diva with marginal 2nd line talent. Torts was right about this guy being a joke. Pathetic waste of space.
He wants a buyout so he can take his lazy azz home and collect checks. It's like a single player Major League.
So you blaming PLD for the 💸 haul? You're jealous 😏, life ain't fair. Go to your job and work extra shifts 🙃
An Vancouver is gonna pay pety how much an what’s he done ???? Clean your own closet before you judge others
Who's judging? Who are you talking about?
@@irafair3015 petty … he’s about to get , I forgot 11 million a year… an he’s all but invisible out there … A huge problem if you ask me .. over pay an under performing.. our 3rd line players are playing better than him.. in a cap world the Canucks can’t afford another OEL
Pierre Luc Bergevin. Lol... Chris Letang and Johnny Huberdeau. Worst contracts in the league. All from ... la belle province. Coincidence. Not.
Yeah I think that is a coincidence.
The similarity between each of those teams is they overpaid to retain a player that they shouldn't have, not that the player is from Quebec.
Those were emotional decisions not completely supported by evidence. Penguins wanna keep the gang together. LA doesn't wanna rebuild. Calgary couldn't afford to get nothing from the Tkachuk trade.
maybe hes sucking on purpose. if he can get a buyout . he can head to montreal where he wants to go. habs sign him for a year for a test run
It's out of my control...um...yeah...it is in your control. 😅
If he gets traded and bought out, that's in his control now? Smdh
@joeya8721 it was and is in his control to play better. He acts entitled...almost like he wants to be bought out.
Dubois did this on purpose. Get the buyout money and sign a for 4 million a year for 5 years with habs.
how though? half winging it and floating around with occasional flashes for years would have me offering no more than a one year prove it deal regardless of the team. To be real though, the Habs are doing fine and Dubois seems like the kind of guy who's going to mess with the team mojo and probably drag a couple of guys into the local city nightlife
god noooooo
As a jackets fan I'm glad he gone he is a cancer to any team
@@benpezzot8805your team still trash though.
@@alexmouton1010fine. One or two year deal at a low cap hit before we decide if we are willing to give him a 2 or 3 year extension.
I wish i could get paid millions not to show up.
he is useless,that is why wpg got rid of him he is lazy
He cares about winning. Even Bones and Torts lo❤ve the guy. Cut him sum slsck
If I was a GM, I would take a trade for PLD stipulating L.A. give me their next 15 1st round draft picks.
He's not much of a man.
The only realistic option is to get a more offensive minded coach/system and then see if it awakens something in Dubois. A buyout at this point makes little sense
I disagree, a buyout makes a lot of sense, that is, if you want to win.
pLD sucks
Pld 50% retained to Carolina for first second and a defense prospect. Well make a player of him
He’s French so.. to be expected
POS is 25 years old and already on his 3rd NHL team! That's all you need to know about him! Not skilled, not a great teammate, just a middling NHL players that will never be anything special other than having a nice bank account, but with a buyout that's not even all that great for a supposedly elite player! They need to dump him if at all possible and just move on!
sadly french canadian players are not what they used to be
Sean Avery was right
