Kings fan here. Jumped for joy when Vilardi scored his first goal in his first game back after battling with injuries. Was going to get his jersey this season. Iaffalo was also a solid guy for us and would be an excellent depth scoring piece right now. Seeing them thrive in winnipeg is good to see, but man does this trade stink from a hockey level but also a sentimental level. Winnipeg is now humming and could potentially win the cup this year with two of our guys, and we’re in the slums losing to the sharks with PLD’s bloated contract and abysmal numbers. Hope he gets it together but this trade is looking totally lopsided right now

@pixelj4877 3 месяца назад

The kings with vilardi and Iafallo were already one of the best teams in the west, with Vegas, Edmonton, Dallas and Colorado (Nobody expected Winnipeg and Vancouver to be this good when the season started). They didn't need to do this trade. It's a shame it hasn't worked out, because on paper Kopitar Danault Dubois down the middle does sound pretty good, if Dubois performs relative to what he's being paid.

Because systems and usage can protect players so much. LA got sold potential instead of reality, just like Winnipeg did when they traded for PLD. One great playoff round as a very young player, that's how he continues to get signed. If he could just play like that, every analyst says. Then Reality comes knocking. And PLD just avoids answering the door. No one home, check back later.

Kings fan here...Do you remember that infamous zero effort shift by PLD? He plays like that 75% of the time. Whenever he's on the ice, I watch PLD specifically, and he rarely gets involved with plays. It's like he's waiting for others to do all the work and he'll just stand there and shoots every so often. There have been times where I could have gotten back to stop a breakaway, but you don't see him in the TV frame until he glides into the frame after the goal is scored. I wish he would try. Just give us some effort! Skate! Skate to the bench at the end of your shift and GET OFF THE ICE. Start with that! He's driving me absolutely nuts watching this lazy play every night!

@thegameshooterslive34 3 месяца назад

Brown was a shell of himself for the last 3 years as a King, and they kept him until he retired. Sure, Quick was having issues in the net, but it was a team issue, not just Quick. I had a great suite vantage point for the 9-8 Kraken game last season so I saw every goal, and none of the 3 goalies for either team could stop the puck. Just look at what Quick is doing now for the Rangers. He could still be doing it for the Kings. Team Management matters. Fire them all! Quick to Columbus for another goalie (Jonas Korposalo) who left the Kings after the 2023 season? Really? I agree with @joedaodragon3565. The Kings screwed Quick and now karma is hitting hard.

Lets keep in mind most Jets fans were livid with this trade & wanted Chevy run out of town. What a difference a few months makes. Guess who got the last laugh & these fans seemed to have jumped back on the bandwagon. Many Kings fans felt Blake fleeced the Jets with the trade & were rejoicing with him. PLD has ALWAYS been a selfish, lazy player with NO two way game.

Thoughts on the Hockey Canada news that just broke today, plus any confirmation that the 5 players in question are Dillon Dube, Cal Foote, Alex Formenton (who is presumably the most guilty as he did not even deny involvement), Carter Hart, and Michael McLeod? Do you think the IIHF would extend any potential NHL suspension to cover their jurisdiction (including the KHL)? Or would that only happen if their passports were revoked?

Coming from a kings fan I was happy with the trade at first because I’ve always felt like we need a star player and I felt as if him and fiala could really get something going. Once I heard the money that was given I shrugged it off and was hoping for him to be a big key part of our success. Now I’m worried if giving him all that money will drastically affect the team in the future. BRO GOTTA DO SOMETHING!!

PLD has proven with his attitude and play that he is a must avoid for future trades

At this point what would you get for him or what team would take him?

@EarlSkakel 3 месяца назад

I mean I was willing to give him a pass as Torts ain’t exactly known as a player’s coach nor his Bowness but he just looks disinterested most of the time. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a player skate in a game like it’s warmups. Tonight in Nashville he made Petr Klima look like Patrice Bergeron.

That contract is absolutely ridiculous. I have no doubt he has the talent to be better than this, but I never liked his attitude.

PLD is not gonna ever get you 60 pts in a season on a defense-first team like the Kings.

I would’ve rather had vilardi and iafallo but I don’t think this as bad as people are saying 1st. Depth is important when winning cups and games, this guy adds value to be a 3rd line guy. PLD Danault Grundstrum and kopi the best center depth in the league 2. We’re 46 games in give this some time. When kopi retires and when all our young guys keep getting better this team is gonna be nuts. I don’t know why this is the year we expect him to put up a ppg he’s learning and isn’t gonna play first line minutes with kopi on the team 3. Even with this deal the kings still have a cup in there future. Once a goaltender locked in this team only gonna get better in the next 5 years. Clarkes coming up, Spence, byfield, turcotte (maybe), lafferiere, Kaliyev, Moore all gonna get better.

Sooooo glad the Habs wanted nothing to do with him. He's lazy and entitled. The Kings gave him an horrible contract that will hurt him a long time lol

Pierre is a selfish player...you can kinda tell if you watch him play closely. Noticed it many times in Winnipeg highlights.

Seems that Dubois is unwilling to play for any NHL coach he has played for so far. As a whole, NHL GMs are always gambling with their previous cap money on hopes and prayers. When they give out fat cat contracts to troubled players, it rarely works out. Thats showbiz.
