This isn't new, but even this summer and in this 2023 NHL Draft month, the name of forward Pierre-Luc Dubois is seriously linked to the Montreal Canadiens.
Now, we have something concrete, and it comes directly from a source within the Winnipeg Jets. Elliotte Friedman also reported it yesterday, as reported by the site DansLesCoulisses.
Friedman says that the Winnipeg Jets understand they will have to listen to trade offers for Hellebuyck, Scheifele, and Dubois, all entering the final year of their contracts, but they have clearly indicated that there will be no rebuild, they want players who can help now.
Another source confirms that the Jets are open to trading Dubois, but against players who can help them as early as next year. We can therefore forget an offer for a 1st round pick or for a youngster like Lane Hutson.
We can also eliminate Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and Kirby Dach. There is no chance that Kent Hughes would trade one of these three players for a forward that he could sign for free next summer.
