The Los Angeles Kings acquisition of forward Pierre-Luc Dubois ended up being one of the biggest offseason busts of the 2023-24 season.
After sending Alex Iafallo, Gabe Vilardi and Rasmus Kupari to the Winnipeg Jets for Dubois, the Kings signed him to a massive eight-year, $68 million contract.
The first year did not go anywhere close to what anybody wanted.
Dubois scored just 16 and 40 points in 82 games, before having a forgettable playoff series against the Edmonton Oilers where he scored just one goal (with no assists) in their five-game series loss.
Now the Kings have a big decision to make.
