The Winnipeg Jets have traded star centre Pierre-Luc Dubois to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for three forwards and a 2024 second round draft pick.
Dubois was a restricted free agent coming off a one-year contract.
The Kings say Dubois has agreed to an eight-year contract worth an average annual value of $8.5 million US through the 2030-31 season.
Dubois, 25, had 63 points (27, 36) in 73 games for the Jets last season, the second straight yet he eclipsed the 60-point mark.
