Who do you blame for the failure between Pierre Luc Dubois and the Los Angeles Kings? Let me know if you think PLD will have a bounce back year with the Washington Capitals!

@idrinkgasoline72 23 часа назад

I think it's a weird situation, he definitely has effort issues but the kings playstyle did not open up for him to do what he wanted to do. Also, the caps are not a veteran team bro, only Carlson, Dowd, Wilson and Ovi, the rest lack experience or have not been in the league very long.

PLD mostly. But the Kings were utilizing players poorly last year, and there seems to be some issue now between the Kings and Kaliyev.

@whisperineye446 21 час назад

As an LA kings fan, I was optimistic when we first got him. He played good to start, then you see the lazy plays. The flashes of brilliance come out too. It's about time people realize that after 3 teams, maybe its not the environment, maybe it is the player and just being flat out lazy. He has been in 3 different hockey environments, 2 contenders and still the same things get said over and over again. You really can't defend him anymore at this point.

@BloodRider1914 22 часа назад

From anecdotal stories I've heard about him (take with a strong grain of salt), I've heard that he's just an introverted guy who doesn't really fit in with the hockey bro locker room cultures conmon across teams and that he's a guy who's just not really motivated by personal accolades that much. I don't know how that will affect his tenure with the Caps but at the very least playing with the star power of Ovi could help him reach his potential a bit more.

@jimmyhockey 21 час назад

Not sure about all of that. I do agree that Ovi and his leadership should inspire PLD though. Either way he will be given better opportunities in Washington so his production should go up

@MrDecelles 5 часов назад

Dubois got Torterella as a rookie, got sent to winnipeg and then signed a nb 1 center contract to play as a 3rd liner center. Most people would have trouble with this. The kings mismanaged this.

It's easy to blame Dubois but he was thrown into a new locker room, with less icetime as a 3rd center. 1- Kopitar was the nb 1 center with offensive duties 2- Philip Danault was the nb 2 center with defensive duties. (the guy changed team because of potential reduced ice time) 3- His linemates were rookies and rank fillers ( sorry Trevor Lewis) How exactly is that a winning condition?

Washington trading for him gave the kings a huge lifeline. If I was the owner of washington I would fire the GM the second I heard of this trade. What in the world was washingotn thinking.

@jimmyhockey 9 часов назад

Washington is in a limbo period, their roster is aging and they have no center help. The team wants to be competitive until Ovi retires, but they just don't have the makeup. They signed Kuemper to that terrible deal and wanted to dish off the contract which is why is was one bad deal for another swap. Not a bad move, risky, but not bad given their current situation

The one hard and fast rule of being a fan, is that everyone is an expert based on a player's past performance. If we could see the future, we'd all be lotto millionaires. I remember all the posts saying that Jack Hughes was a bust, after his rookie season. Hell, someone on an Oilers MB dug up a message someone posted in 2015 saying that McDavid was overrated and the Oil would regret drafting him. Before last year, I posted that the Kings should have drafted Stutzle instead of Byfield. Oof.

@jimmyhockey 8 часов назад

I like Torts but his coaching style if built for a different era of hockey. Players seem to be gravitating more towards the good guy coach over the hard edged ones. For Laine and PLD clearly they don't respond to his style, which is fine but tough when neither the coach or player is willing to compromise

I agree that Torts is A Terrific Coach & can get Results (as he did with The Bad Philadelphia Flyers team, the past season), however, having said that, it's not that I don't think that he's got to press the guys, but, I think that he's got to find a way to relate to the players & get the results without the Anger Management issues that he seems to have, even in interviews with The Media/Next Question comments. I think that it's really the reason Cam Atkinson & Ryan Johansen don't want to play for him & parted ways with The Philadelphia Flyers. Let me know what you think

Rumors is he was asking for 8+million from the Jets, who were not willing to meet his demands, so they traded him to the Kings. His parents live in Winnipeg and had said he enjoyed the city. After he got to the Kings he didn't get to play the same minutes as he got in Winnipeg. His points and confidence took at hit. If he gets the minutes to can get a good number of points.

I agree, I think given where the Jets are now, they probably feel okay about this trade, but even so they could use a second line center and PLD likely would have been a 60+ point player there had he stayed.
