Los Angeles Kings general manager Rob Blake confirmed Monday that he has no plans to buy out Pierre-Luc Dubois, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
Blake acquired Dubois from the Winnipeg Jets last June in exchange for fellow forwards Gabriel Vilardi, Alex Iafallo, and Rasmus Kupari, as well as a second-round pick in this year's draft.
Dubois, who'll turn 26 on June 24, played all 82 games in his first campaign in Hollywood but failed to produce to the standard he'd set over his first six NHL seasons split between the Jets and the Columbus Blue Jackets. He collected 16 goals and 24 assists, and his average ice time of 15:42 was nearly two minutes below his previous career average of 17:37.
