There were plenty of questions about Pierre-Luc Dubois' future after he informed the Winnipeg Jets he didn't plan on re-signing with them. The Kings acquired Dubois after he agreed to terms on an eight-year extension worth $8.5 million annually. The 25-year-old center was a restricted free agent and wanted to get his long-term future resolved.

This move is about money — the cap-related kind. It's also about making Brandt Clarke a long-term core piece of the Kings' defense.

It was only of time before some major player movement happened, and the Blue Jackets, Kings and Flyers jumpstarted a potentially wild offseason with a whopper of a three-team trade Tuesday afternoon.
