Forward Pierre-Luc Dubois reportedly told the Winnipeg Jets last week thathe intended to test the free agent market in the summer of 2024.
However, on Wednesday, we learned that the Montreal Canadiens would be interested in the services of the big Quebec center player, selon Sportsnet.
We don’t know what the Jets’ demands would be, but we bet they would like to get their hands on an established player, a prospect and a good draft pick.
Dubois is still without a contract for the next campaign. The goal of the Manitoba formation would be to sign a one-year agreement with the athlete of 24 years in the hope that he changes his mind by the summer of 2023.
In his first full season in Winnipeg, in 2021-2022, the former Cape Breton Screaming Eagles and Blainville-Boisbriand Armada tallied 60 points, including 28 goals, in 81 games.
He was acquired from the Columbus Blue Jackets for Patrik Laine and Jack Roslovic in January 2021. In 361 National Hockey League games, he had 102 goals and 239 points.
