On June 27, 2023, the Kings believed they had made the biggest acquisition of the offseason. In fact, they had acquired Pierre-Luc Dubois.
The experience didn’t even last a year since last June, he was traded to the Capitals.
Clearly, playing without pressure and moderate expectations favors the Quebecer. In Washington, he is a changed player, so much so that a few weeks ago, his coach said he was the best player on the Caps.
What you need to know is that Washington is still very satisfied with the Quebecer’s performance.
The Capitals are very happy. This is what Pierre LeBrun mentioned to RDS during the first intermission of the Canadian-Wild match.
In 15 games this season, PLD has nine points, but only one goal. But night after night, he plays against the best opposing trios. In the locker room and on the ice, he maintains a good attitude. This is the facet of his game that most impresses his GM Chris Patrick.
When Alex Ovechkin’s squad acquired PLD, it wasn’t necessarily unanimous, but after about fifteen games, we can say that the exchange with the Kings was a success.
It must be said that Patrick only gave Darcy Kuemper…
For PLD, this change did him good and he will be able to witness history very soon, as Ovi breaks Wayne Gretzky’s goals record.
In burst
– Nice shot.
