Kings acquire Pierre-Luc Dubois in multi-player trade with Jets.

The Winnipeg Jets have traded center Pierre-Luc Dubois to the Los Angeles Kings for forwards Gabriel Vilardi, Alex Iafallo, Rasmus Kupari, and a 2024 second-round pick. Dubois, who had 27 goals and 63 points for Winnipeg last season, will sign an eight-year deal with an $8.5 million annual average value with Los Angeles. The Kings hope Dubois can help them win now and in the future, while the Jets receive a quality package of players who can help them now and in the future. The Jets still need to sort out Connor Hellebuyck and Mark Scheifele's futures, while the Kings must turn their attention to the net.

"Trade Rumors Swirl for Dubois and Compher as Kings and Blackhawks Show Interest"

The Los Angeles Kings are reportedly pursuing a trade for Winnipeg Jets center Pierre-Luc Dubois, with multiple players and pieces going to Winnipeg, including forwards Gabriel Vilardi and Alex Iafallo. The Kings and Dubois are also said to be in talks for a contract extension. The move would be part of the Kings' succession planning for the eventual end of incumbent number-one center Anze Kopitar’s playing career. For the Jets, the trade is about moving forward from a player who didn’t see a long-term future for himself in Winnipeg and getting the best possible return for the one year left of control they have over Dubois’ services.
