Dubois rumours end as Jets centre heads to Los Angeles for players, draft pick

Jun 27, 2023 | 2:15 PM

NASHVILLE — The Winnipeg Jets have traded star forward Pierre-Luc Dubois to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for three forwards and a 2024 second round draft pick.

Dubois was a restricted free agent coming off a one-year contract.

The Kings say Dubois has agreed to an eight-year contract worth an average annual value of US$8.5 million through the 2030-31 season.

Dubois, 25, had 63 points (27, 36) in 73 games for the Jets last season, the second straight yet he eclipsed the 60-point mark.

He was drafted third overall in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft by the Columbus Blue Jackets before being dealt along with a third-round pick to the Jets for Patrik Laine and Jack Roslovic in 2021.
