Not sure what's out there � still on plane � but hearing Pierre-Luc Dubois is being traded to Washington
Pierre-Luc Dubois had a modest half-point-per-game performance in his first season with the Kings after being acquired from the Jets near last summer's NHL draft. His tenure in Los Angeles hasn't been particularly successful, prompting a fresh start in Washington.
Meanwhile, Darcy Kuemper will join the LA Kings, a team that has been in dire need of a goaltender. This move offers Kuemper an opportunity to maximize his contract over the next three years, where he is earning $5.2 million annually.
