The LA Kings and Jets are closing in on a deal that will see Winnipeg get a massive return.
Dubois Traded To Kings For Massive Haul
Pierre-Luc Dubois has finally been traded. He is going to the LA Kings in exchange for Gabe Vilardi, Alex Iafallo, and Rasmus Kupari.
-
Dubois is coming off of a 63-point campaign where he scored 27 goals. He will likely be the Anze Kopitar replacement once he retires.
Vilardi is coming off a 43-point year in 63 games that saw him score 23 goals. He provides an elite two-way game which will hopefully see him develop into a Dubois replacement in Winnipeg.
Iafallo scored 36 points in 59 games. While he is nothing crazy, he is a solid middle-six forward that will provide plenty of value for the Jets.
Finally, Kupari was a first-round pick in 2018 who is yet to develop. He will be looking for a fresh start in Winnipeg where he can hopefully turn into the player the Kings hoped they were getting when they drafted him.
