Pierre-Luc Dubois has finally gotten what he wanted in getting traded out of Winnipeg. This is the second time he has forced his way out from an NHL team in his young 6-year career.
However, despite leaving Winnipeg, it looks as if he still is taking shots at the organization. In a recent interview, Dubois said the following about what he is excited about in LA.
This implies that Dubois was not who he actually is in Winnipeg and that they were preventing him from truly being himself.
This may provide insight into what Dubois was feeling in Winnipeg but it may hurt his case of not being a diva.
To say that acquiring Dubois for the Kings was a gamble would be an understatement.
The center only has a career-high of 63 points and has already forced himself away from two franchises for seemingly little reason.
The Kings gave up a king's ransom to acquire Dubois parting with many top assets including Gabriel Vilardi and Alex Iafallo.
If Dubois does not pan out into a superstar two-way dominant center, the Kings will have certainly lost the trade considering how Dubois signed a massive extension in LA.
