The Los Angeles Kings and Washington Capitals agreed to a blockbuster swap of star Goalie Darcy Kuemper and Center Pierre-Luc Dubois on Wednesday afternoon.
The deal will involve no salary retention for either franchise and no other assets are involved in the swap, according to TSN’s Pierre LeBrun. The deal and terms were first reported by LeBrun.
Dubois was traded to Los Angeles by the Winnipeg Jets during the 2023 offseason for three players and a second-round draft pick. He signed an eight-year $68 million contract with the Blue Jackets the same day as the trade in a sign-and-trade scenario. He is tied to the Capitals through the 2030-2031 season.
