Kuemper is 34yo... and has a cap hit of $5.25M for 3 more seasons.... NASTY....

 

Ahh, you're right, it is three seasons. 

 

Clear win for Washington.

 

A Kuemper buyout looks like..

 

2.1M

3.6M

4.4M

I wouldn't even have traded vilardi 1 for 1 for him terrible trade and signing

 

Agreed. Easier now with hindsight, but wouldn't even trade Rasmus Kupari for PLD one for one at this point. What a slam dunk by the Jets on that trade.

PLD will get to play next to OV... he should be excited even if OV is not the player he once was.  Still ... playing with a legend like that is like getting a chance to play with Crosby.

In 2016, Vancouver was seeded third pick overall BEFORE the draft lottery dropped them two spots to fifth (and chose Juolevi) If they had retained their third position, they would absolutely have taken Dubois. To review, Dubois has worn out his welcome in Columbus, Winnipeg and now Los Angeles and he's only 25. Worse, he's due $8.5M AAV for another SEVEN seasons. What on earth is Brian McLellan thinking by acquiring a guy who has had problems fitting in everywhere? Washington is on the downside of Ovechkin's career and adding Dubois isn't going to improve them much at all.

Absolutely, what a cool thing to be able to say

Actually there was a deal in place to acquire Subban from Montreal if Dubois was there at our pick…


Shows how lost Benning was. All his plans were just bad…

Haha, I was saying this kind of trade would make sense for Washington earlier this season, they need a top six center something fierce. 

The way Dubois played the last few seasons they may still need one.

The fact that no sweeteners were required or retention was involved... boggles the mind.
Never thought I'd see the day that a trade was probably even worse than our trade to get OEL, but here we are folks.

Ive been down on PLD for a long time now tho even without hindsight its crazy to me to see what a prime spot LAK were in asset and timeline wise and how they've managed the roster
