Report: Dubois WILL NOT re-sign with the Winnipeg Jets

A report earlier today, on June 7th, 2023, from notable NHL insider Pierre LeBrun revealed that Pierre-Luc Dubois would not sign a contract extension with the Winnipeg Jets.

This is not a terribly shocking report, as it has been reported since Pierre-Luc Dubois’ arrival to Winnipeg that he wanted to be a Montreal Canadien. This will be the second time Dubois has quit on an NHL team, and it will not give him a good reputation going forward.

Pierre-Luc Dubois, who posted a career-high in assists and points, and tied his career high in goals, could be a valuable power forward for any team. In Dubois’ 73-game stint during his 2022-23 campaign with the Winnipeg Jets, he posted 27 goals and 36 assists for 63 points.

It is uncertain whether Dubois’ wish to be a Montreal Canadien is granted, but it is highly likely that Winnipeg Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff trades Dubois for a boatload return. While the situation continues to develop, one thing can be certain, Kevin Cheveldayoff is not afraid to let Pierre-Luc Dubois sit for an entire season. The same happened to 2016 fourth overall pick Jesse Puljujarvi, this wouldn’t be a great look on Dubois if he starts a trend for his draft class.

As Pierre-Luc Dubois and his saga in Winnipeg unfolds, we will continue to provide more updates.

Opinion: Stars’ Mikko Rantanen Returns to Form At the Right Time

Edmonton Oilers Playoff Thoughts: Round 2, Game 2

It takes four wins to advance, but the Edmonton Oilers historically lose almost every Game 1. In their last 15 rounds, including Tuesday night, they’ve won only four series openers. Even in 2006, they only won one Game 1. If you include that Playoff run, just for laughs, the record is 5 Game 1 wins […]
