I'm kind of excited to see! Ovi and PLD on a line is gonna be something to watch.
The Jets completely FLEECED the Kings bro 😂😂😂
Thank you PLD for all the powerplays you gifted us in that first round matchup
Now we wait and see how long it takes Pierre-Luc Ducapfriendly to start crying and request a trade out of Washington.
Regicide…
GMBM should have been on the hot seat since 2019. This is a monumentally terrible trade for the Caps.
Edit: Getting Marner for a year would have nearly guaranteed Ovi breaks the record this coming season.
As if the Ovie line wasn’t bad enough on the backchecking. If Ovie doesn’t score a goal while they are in the O zone, the other team is guaranteed a breakaway almost every shift now! 🤣
As a kings fan I never saw this coming. I expect a buy out before a trade, but rob said we wouldn’t buy him out. Needless to say, after watching every game with him… I’m happy with the trade.
Considering what PLD was moved for, I'd say those other teams were only kicking tires and not seriously interested. That or they wanted retention from LA and/or sweeteners put in. Either way, I'd say this shows how PLD's reputation and value around the league is in a bottomless pit.
With Washington I'm not that shocked. PLD has issues, but presumably he can funnel pucks to Ovechkin just fine. The Capitals probably aren't going to be great, but if their focus is that record this makes sense. Even if they are stuck with that contract going into a rebuild…they'll need bodies on the roster anyways.
poor Caps fan, they get to watch a fat 40 year old trying to get a pointless record and PLD
The PLD saga is so damn funny to me. Truly shocked that anyone is giving this dude a chance for anything more than like 3 mil. CRAZY.
The only question is… Do we take yet another chance on Pierre-Luc Dub*TCH? Or is it time to give up on someone who shows no maturity?!
Ovie is going to pull a Getzlaf and just retire so he doesn’t have to share a dressing room with this cancer. Same thing Getzlaf did with Zegras.
How about that markstrom trade ?
What does this have to do with Edmonton?
Is that why the caps bought the cap website? So people couldn't see the PLD contract?
I really think Kuemper is gonna thrive in that LA defensive system
NEVER heard of this guy…ever.
The first red flag should have been that his name is Pierre-Luc
I mean he can be a 60+ point a year guy in theory. I don't understand why, but we just have to deal with it
Totally imagining Chevy walking into the Jets head office the day after this trade like Toby’s Spidey in the third instalment of that franchise.
Hmm… Do we next see Laine traded next to Crosby… Dupois and Ovi vs Laine and Crosby, could be Interesting
PLD is as useless as a player can get
If Dubois doesn't work out for the Caps it should be legal for the NHL to void his remaining contract and banish him from the NHL for life. There's so many kids trying to make it to the show and then you have this fool throwing everything away because he's a lazy POS.
Should be interesting. Ovi will probably humble him quick.
how is anyone not aware of PLD and his drama? he can be good, but the juice is not worth the squeeze.
I think PDL isn't going to enjoy feeding a flat footed ovi and we're going to see some drama between them before December.
I think this is a good trade for Washington, because of where they are at with the competitiveness, there is no pressure on PLD. Wsh can retain half and trade him easy, and get a good haul for him around trade deadline.
They need a PLD, Evander Kane,Wilson line
The scumiest of the scum world brought together to wreck havoc on any locker room. Heck maybe throw a little Marchand and Carey Perry into the mix too.
I would really like it if colorado could pick up tablot
There is no fixing PLD. I don't care that he's in his mid-20s, it just further cements the fact that you can't fix him. He is, who he is.
You can't change the essence of a person, with coaching. Just ask Toronto. Creampuffs, are creampuffs. Lazy and arrogant players, are lazy and arrogant players. PLD would have had to be coached out of it, back in first year junior.
WSH just messed up, and they're gonna figure that out real soon.
Tbh if you put ovi, wilson and him on a line that could be best in the league easy. People would be scared to play defensively against 3 monsters that can skate and shoot.
Tom Wilson will be the only reason this works I think he'll ride pld if he starts to coast
I’m gonna get hate for this, but I don’t like Ovechkin. Now, don’t get me wrong, I respect him, as he is very close to the goal record, but I don’t want him to get it. GRETZKY is THE G.O.A.T, not Ovechkin, Gretzky. He deserves that record more in my opinion. I also don’t like him because he’s a Putin fan, and I just can’t like somebody who thinks highly of Putin. Ok. I’ve made my point, now I’d love to hear yours. Just be kind about it please 😊
Bro only talks about the capitals oilers and panthers
Dubust and Ovechshit on the same line ? Ahahahah freebie pucks given to any opponent.
Im thinking Blake was told get rid of him or we get rid of you.
LOL as someone who owns a dubois jersey. i still maintain he's gonna win a cup within the next 3-4 years
Worst trade in nhl history…
Pld was a good jet always but he just didn’t like it
I don't know, if you want Dubois to succeed maybe saddling Dubois with shadow ovechkin may not be the recipe for success. Give Dubois some proper line mates and hopefully he turns it around
I'm down for the gamble lol
