Capitals acquire Pierre-Luc Dubois

The Washington Capitals have acquired Pierre-Luc Dubois from the Los Angeles Kings for Darcy Kuemper.

Dubois was a big disappointment for the Kings in his first year with the Kings. He’ll bring his $8.5 million cap-hit to Washington through the 2030-31 season.

Darcy Kuemper also struggled in 2023-24, eventually losing the net to Charlie Lindgren. He carries a $5.25 million cap hit for the next three seasons. Kuemper played for the Kings in 2017-18.
