Can PLD take a leap of faith?
All eyes will be on the new center in town the team gave up Darcy Kuemper for. What can Pierre-Luc Dubois bring to the table who has seven years left on his contract.
The 26 year old is getting a fresh start after things didn't go as planned with the Los Angles Kings who acquired his rights in a sign and trade with the Winnipeg Jets just a year ago.
But as some fans point out maybe it's destiny. After all he WAS on the ice for Alex Ovechkin's 802nd goal. Wink.
Alas this will be his fourth team in four years and the hope around town as that Spencer Carbery can tap into his potential. and find consisntency to his game.
Duobis does have two 60 point seasons on his resume and now it's just about putting it all together on the ice. He can be a top line center but the question is will he. Dylan Strome may have something to say about that but that's what the fun of training camp is, isn't it?
It's all about who can make the team and who can't. Or in this case where in center will the guards be.
