What was missed is that after the Dubois trade Scheifele and Hellbuyck both signed long term deals the same day.

best fucking trade Winnipeg ever made, and got great value for him

[unbearablycringe]

As a Habs fan, im SO HAPPY we didnt make a move for Dubois

[sheaandrus-oak]

It's about time people have realized this it only took 3 teams and 6 years

[rileyholden-zcip]

He needs to realize playing in the NHL is a privilege and people said Jack echiel was a cancer

[elwizschold]

WPG fleeced LA in that trade. If it had just been PLD for Vilardi we could have a discussion, but as things stand (especially with that extension) LA really poopied the bed.

And now PLD is traded again. After 1 season in LA, he's with Washington.

The easiest way to tell a toxic player and one who's liked by their team is by their celly after a goal. PLD skates away from his teammates and cellys alone, a player who is respected by his team is mobbed in a group hug. PLD rarely ever does the high five bench pass too.

What's most frustrating to me is I saw Dubois as a toxin years ago yet teams still rewarded him and pursued him. The Kings definitely reap what they sow here, by their time Dubois' mindset should have been very apparent.

I’m still trying to figure out why LA traded for him & then signed him to an 8 year extension.

[mikespeed]

Here again right after he’s traded to Washington lol

[mikeb.]

As a Caps fan, thank you for this video. It's great to see exactly what we have to look forward to....until he requests a trade again. 😒

As a loyal & long-time Jets fan I'll have to agree with you on this issue Alyssa 😊. Great content btw, you rock!

[charliechafe]

I remember watching him play for Cape Breton before and after he was drafted by Columbus. After he was drafted there was a noticeable lack of effort and care in his game, this lead to him being benched for the entire third period and then immediately traded.

As always well done Alyssa. There is no doubt, this guy is a toxic player. You saw it in Columbus, you saw it in Winnipeg, and now the LA Kings are seeing it. It's funny, you see the success the Jets are having this season and how the Kings are struggling and Dubois, has been not that good this year and signed a huge 8 year contract after getting traded there last year.

[tuttifrutti]

Who will take him with 7 years left at 8.5 mil.nobody will want a guy who does not like hockey but good enough to get a contract. Only team taking him is to get to spend more for minimum cap and it’s going to cost you 2 first or a first a real good young guy

[mastadlo]

Good timing on this with them getting shutout by Buffalo tonight

[smokingwraith]

Selfishness does not work in team sports. The Dubois trade was the best thing that could have happened for the Jets. The return was gold. All three guys the Jets recieved have great personalities and play for the team. Honostly, just getting rid of Dubois was a win. He is a frustrating guy to have playing for the team you cheer for. I couldn't imagine having to be his teammate.

[dleatherman]

And to think that Jarmo chose PLD over Mathew Tkachuk in that draft even though PLD wasn't even a point-per-game player that year in the Q. The year before he was fine, but tailed off badly.

[ionystherogue]

When he got traded to L.A. I just laughed. They gave up decent players and good character guys for that crybaby
