The Quebec forward for the Los Angeles Kings, Pierre-Luc Dubois, unfortunately had an extremely difficult season with his new team.
His ice time plummeted from month to month, as did his responsibilities and production, and he ultimately finished the 2023-24 season with a tally of 39 points in 81 games.
He also ended the campaign with a negative differential of -10.
However, Dubois had the opportunity to redeem himself in the playoffs and put the rumors aside (the trade rumors and contract buyout rumors), but that really did not happen.

In the first-round series against the Edmonton Oilers, in 5 games, he amassed 0 goals, 1 assist, and 20 penalty minutes, in 14:50 minutes of ice time per game.

It's worth noting that Dubois has just signed a contract for 68 million dollars (8 years/$8.5 million per year) in Los Angeles, a contract valid until 2031.
