Remember that after being traded from the Columbus Blue Jackets to the Winnipeg Jets, the Quebec center does not seem to want to settle in Manitoba for the long term.
In fact, he has already told his general manager that he intends to be a free agent in 2024. (He will be free as a bird and will have the opportunity to sign with the team of his choice). It's really rare that a player is so transparent, but this is the case with Dubois.
Some are even talking about a hidden trade request here. Basically, the Jets have 1.5 years to trade him, and if they don't, they'll lose him "for nothing" to free agents. Which is really not desirable for them, obviously.
Will they really want to keep, in their team, for two years, a player who is already thinking of leaving? It's unlikely.
So we can expect Pierre-Luc Dubois' name to come up (again) in trade rumors.
PIERRE-LUC DUBOIS WITH CH?
In the last few hours, popular host Mario Langlois, pilot of the show Les amateurs de sports on the entire Cogeco network, made a very interesting statement.
It's an opinion and a wish, regarding Dubois.
And you, would you like Kent Hughes to acquire Pierre-Luc Dubois?
