We don't need to remind you that many rumors are currently linking Pierre-Luc Dubois to the Montreal Canadiens, and that a trade could be imminent.
In order to properly deconstruct all the information circulating on this subject, and to give us the straight goods, the excellent journalists Arpon Basu (Montreal) and Murat Ates (Winnipeg), from The Athletic, have just published a very complete article.
In particular, we learn a very interesting piece of information.
"A source who is very reliable and directly involved in this situation has confirmed to us that Pierre-Luc Dubois attended the 2022 NHL Draft, in the Bell Centre bleachers, because he believed a trade would be completed, during the first round, on the draft floor. (A trade between Montreal and Winnipeg involving him)." - Arpon Basu
Wow! By the way, as first reported by Martin Leclerc (Radio-Canada), Kent Hughes tried to make such a trade, but without success.
In fact, he has made a big offer:
Dubois, a 24-year-old native of Ste-Agathe-des-Monts, has 60 points (28 goals) in 81 games this season with the Jets. He was drafted third overall in 2016 by the Columbus Blue Jackets and was traded from the Jackets to the Jets in January 2021 for Patrik Laine and Jack Roslovic.
For the very interesting details:
