While the Kings seem to regret acquiring Pierre-Luc Dubois, Kent Hughes appears to have done well by not paying too much for the forward.
Imagine if he had traded a Kaiden Guhle or a Juraj Slafkovsky to get Dubois!
In any case, for discussion purposes only, we're curious to see your comments regarding the following trade offer.
Trade between the Canadiens and the Kings involving Pierre-Luc Dubois and Joel Armia?
It's crazy, but we might be surprised by the results.
Yes, Joel Armia is a player who has been placed on NHL waivers twice this season, yes Pierre-Luc Dubois is a player who cost the Kings the equivalent of three first-round picks, but a lot has changed since then.
Be careful.
This is not a trade rumor, it's not a wish we're expressing, and it's even less of a prediction.
It's simply a way to illustrate how the Pierre-Luc Dubois trade is unfortunately turning into a nightmare for the Los Angeles Kings.
So, we ask you the question.
«If the Kings call tomorrow morning, and they want to get rid of Pierre-Luc Dubois's monstrous contract so badly that they offer him to Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Joel Armia.
Would you do it?»
We're extremely curious to see your answers.
Remember, by making this trade, Kent Hughes would be trading a contract worth 3.4 million dollars per year that expires next year, and he would be acquiring a huge contract worth 8.5 million dollars per year until 2031.
Yes, it's a big decision. Yes, it ties a GM's hands for a very long time.
Pierre-Luc Dubois, 25 years old, has accumulated 35 points, including 15 goals, in 74 games this season. (8.5 million) He's not really the best defensively.
Joel Armia, 30 years old, has accumulated 20 points, including 14 goals, in 57 games this season. (3.4 million) He is excellent defensively.
«With his 11th goal of the season at 5-on-5, Joel Armia takes sole possession of second place in this category for the Canadiens, behind Nick Suzuki (15).
That's two more goals than Cole Caufield, in almost 400 minutes less ice time.» - Simon-Olivier Lorange, La Presse Wow!
In short, would you trade Joel Armia for Pierre-Luc Dubois in a one-for-one trade?
