I disagree that this is the solution to all of our problems. To begin with, it's not unusual for a player moving to a new team to struggle for a while, even for a full season. Look, for example, at Ryan Graves, who was on my list of LhDs to go after before Blake re-signed Vladi Gavrikov. Second, you cannot accuse DuBois of playing badly despite his linemates -- he's been with second-rank players all season long. Has he spent the year between Quint Byfield and Adrian Kempe, I don't think that we would be having this discussion.

In my not-often-humble opinion, an upgrade either on DuBois's wing or in goal will carry us at least one round further in the 2025 playoffs than we will go this season.</div></div>

Haha thanks for noticing! I’m glad to be back! I was posting mostly for sh**s and giggles. But I don’t disagree with what you’re saying. PLD has looked way better under Hiller since the coaching change, my fear is just that he’s going to become complacent again. He was going through the motions on the ice under McLellan and I’d hate to see that happen again. I know this kid is able to turn it on at points, but he has to do it all the time, especially making as much money as he is.
