Over the past few years, Pierre-Luc Dubois behaviour off the ice has raised many questions, but still, the Los Angeles Kings were happy to give up a major haul for the opportunity to give him a huge extension.
Despite the hype that came with the off-season acquisition, Dubois' start in Los Angeles has been less than stellar, posting just 8 points in his first 15 games with the team.
While that's not poor production, much more is expected from him, and now, several journalists in Los Angeles have noted just how disinterested he has looked throughout the early parts of his LA tenure.
There were many teams interested in PLD this summer, with the Jets interested in extending him, but ultimately, he talked his way out of Winnipeg, giving up a major haul in return.
Given how important the players they sent to the Jets were, the Kings were hoping he could be a point-per-game top-six player, but unfortunately, that just hasn't happened, and the team may grow impatient if it doesn't start happening soon.
