The Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday, June 19, performed a major about-face, sending under-performing center Pierre-Luc Dubois to the Washington Capitals in a trade that brought veteran goaltender Darcy Kuemper back to Southern California.
Dubois, less than a week away from turning 26, spent only one season with the Kings, who acquired him from the Winnipeg Jets just less than a year ago for top young players Alex Iafallo, Rasmus Kupari, and Gabriel Vilardi, as well as a second-round pick in this year’s NHL draft.
