Am legitimately baffled by Dubois. If you told me he'd end up here after watching him play in Cape Breton I wouldn't have believed you. Yet here we are. World class talent that just doesn't care.

I remember going to a Flames / Jets game a few years back and saw his own teammates rolling their eyes at his antics and attitude. Never seen that before

I don't think PLD is the sole reason for bringing the Kings down. It takes more than that to get a coach fired, but he's an easy target.
Doughty thinks he's the biggest thing since sliced bread (just ask him) but his teams havent done much since Sutter left, but Drew seems to be blaming others like he did then (Sutter) and is now (though not blaming McLellan, clearly didn't do enough to fight for him or save him either) when hes bascislly co captain of thr team this entire last decade...he should be looking in the mirror.
But he's living off the Cups that Darryl got them.

I've seen St. Louis players do that when Binnington acts like a clown.

Completely agree with this Doughty take. Early success and the cups have made him intolerable and I think he’s as much to do with dysfunction in that room as anyone.

Rittich with .925 after 11 starts, good on him! Always liked that silly fellow.

Counterpoint: Doughty is a 7(?) time all-star, multi-time Norris finalist, and 2 time Stanley Cup champion who, as captain, isn't afraid to stand up and call out team-mates when needed.

I think when Tkachuk went a little far with his stuff earlier in his career his teammates didn't like it.

Both Doughty and PLD seem like colossal Dbags. Between the Oilers and Kings rosters it’s tough to know who’s more ######y. Prob the Oil though.

Brutal is a bit harsh. He's been affected by injuries and has only played 103 games the previous 3 seasons. His development is behind and he's probably not going to live up to expectations, but he's been pretty decent this year, and he did score his first NHL goal last week.

And you’d know this how?
Doughty is abrasive but not stupid. Dubois is the one who goes all over the place and complains. Dumb trade for Los Angeles. Winnipeg fleeced them on that one.
