Zone exit, season 5 | Episode 64: the exchange of Pierre-Luc Dubois dissected

The Los Angeles Kings have traded Quebec forward Pierre-Luc Dubois to the Washington Capitals for goaltender Darcy Kuemper. What do our panelists think? Alexandre Pratt likes the Capitals’ bet, who have an aging team, little offensive depth and space under the salary cap.


Our quartet looks back on the Edmonton Oilers’ spectacular victory in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final. Will they be able to cause a surprise and make it to the end? Guillaume Lefrançois believes that their journey will end abruptly. Finally, we discuss the possibility of seeing Anthony Mantha with the Montreal Canadiens next season. Stéphane Waite wonders if the stars are really aligned.
