It's a little premature to say that DuBois was a bad trade and a bad signing. If I remember correctly, Jeff Skinner looked like one of the worst signings of all time when he recorded only 37 points in 112 games his first two seasons there. Patience is a virtue.

Nobody thinks that Mitch Marner has no value, especially Kings fans. Our antipathy to having anything to do with him is the cost of his acquisition and his salary structure. Giving up our anticipated future #1RhD, a first and two seconds (never mind abandoning the DuBois attempt) for one year of Marner would be moronic asset management even if he were to win the Conn Smythe in his one season with us. Los Angeles fans have dynastic ambitions, not transitory ones.

Selling DuBois at a low point would be just as stupid and criminal as Anaheim selling Trevor Zegras at his low point.

PLD is 3rd line C at this point. Kopitar, who did extend, can’t play forever.

Cap will go up in the coming years with it going up 4 something this offseason.

If PLD plays the way he did tonight, oh boy!

According to podcasts I listen to and people who watch practices for LA, PLD has a good relationship with Hiller. He was always talking with him at practice. I’m
Not all surprised he had a very good game tonight.

Also, kings decline this trade
