4 Offseason Buyout Landing Spots for Kings Forward Pierre-Luc Dubois

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.
