Trade: Pierre-Luc Dubois confirms discussions with Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens

The Quebec forward had then declared that he had no intention of continuing his career with the Winnipeg Jets.

As we know, it was ultimately with the Los Angeles Kings that Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff struck a deal, and in return for Dubois, he acquired Rasmus Kupari, Gabriel Vilardi, Alex Iafallo, and a second-round pick in the last draft.

As reported by the RDT site, Dubois confirmed the Canadiens' interest during an interview with Mathias Brunet in La Presse, where they discussed several topics.

Despite the disappointment of some Canadiens fans at the time of the trade announcement, it can be said that Kent Hughes made the right decision, as he would have likely paid a very high price to acquire his services.

After a rather disappointing single year with the Kings, where he only collected 40 points in 82 games, Dubois was traded during the summer to the Washington Capitals in exchange for goaltender Darcy Kuemper, and he will have the chance for a fresh start elsewhere.
