We’ve reached the pinnacle of the NHL offseason with the draft and free agency upon us this week. But general managers have been ahead of the game. We’ve seen some stunning trades and some players have also been signed to long extensions. However, most of the trades have been for cap relief. It means there are more rumored transactions on the horizon.
Let’s dive into this week’s fresh batch of NHL rumors.
The star center will finally get his wish. Months after demanding a trade out of Winnipeg, Pierre-Luc Dubois will soon be on the move.
Dubois and the Kings could agree to an extension as part of the trade. But the price isn’t cheap. The Kings are prepared to trade two star youngsters, Gabe Vilardi and Alex Iafallo.
Vilardi scored a career-high 23 goals and 41 points this past season. Iafallo, 29, has spent his six-year career with the Kings. He scored 14 goals and had 36 points in 59 games this season. Dubois, 25, played in 73 games this season in Winnipeg. He scored 27 goals and had a career-high 63 points.
The Kings are taking a big risk in pursuing a top-line center. Let’s see if they finish the job.
