Great interview! I like his attitude.

This kid is one of the best interviews in the NHL. Extremely personable and comfortable in the spotlight. Very reminiscent of Doughty.

6'4" C that can play top line minutes!

If Blake gets a tendy this off-season that is decent and isn't vulnerable to to a high glove side or something weird and glaring in the playoffs, everyone here will have forgotten Gabe and AI by this time next year. Good trade.

DuBois has been a cancer everywhere he has played.

Can you or someone else find some actual proof of this? Not just gossip and random speculation! Because I can’t!

All I can find is this, where an actual teammate (Hellebuyck) talks about PLD being great in the locker room:

“He’s a great guy. He would be in charge of all our fun activities. He's the guy that knows what's going on and knows how to bring a team together,”

Doesn’t sound like a cancer to me…

I really liked his post trade interview. You hear all the media gossip and internet trolls which love to sensationalize but he comes off as a very level headed focused guy. This is a hockey player who still has higher levels to reach and has been held back developmentally by different circumstances and now will be given his chance to shine.

This idea that he’s a locker room problem is built on assumptions and speculation. The reality is he did request a trade out of Columbus but he never publicly stated the reason. So that gets him the label of bad teammate. People forget that players have requested trades for decades and even well respected players like Ryan Smyth requested a trade from LA a season after we made the playoffs for the first time in a decade. **** happens and sometimes you just want to turn the page and get to a situation that works better for you.

What happened in Winnipeg was Dubois was a year from becoming an unrestricted free agent and he informed the team he wasn’t interested in re-signing and he gave them a list of teams where he would sign a long term deal. Winnipeg could’ve forced him to sign his qualifying offer and played out the year then traded him at the deadline instead all parties involved came together and found a solution that left LA, Winnipeg and the player satisfied moving forward.

This is a win for everyone involved. Kings get the player they want locked up through his prime. Winnipeg gets young NHL talent and a draft pick. Dubois gets stability in a city/team of his choosing.

WTF? Is Luc "Snow Miser"? What is up with the hair do?

Hacksaw was "THE NHL" late info for AM radio back in the day. Kings were "wheeling and dealing" as were other teams. Hacksaw was NHL info for me at 3pm pst everyday.

 

[PTDP]

Dubios, the name sounds like a french canadian.... doesn't speak french? The dude sounds like he is from Southern Cali. "Secrebleu"!!!!!

The second half of his interview was completely in French.

Not happy with the trade.

Only person in LA who talked about the Kings.

I really hope he proves me wrong. But I don’t like it. I don’t think he’s the right guy to bring in. We need a goalie. If we would’ve traded away the same guys for Hellebuyck I would’ve been good with that. So now how much do we have to get a goalie? Or do we have to trade more salary to get someone decent? But it’s done so what can I do but accept it.
