In his most recent podcast 32 ThoughtsSportsnet network journalist Elliotte Friedman reiterated his comments that the two organizations involved have negotiated, offering a new update on this file which is likely to cause more talk in the cottages of Habs supporters.
“The Jets have spoken periodically to the Canadiens regarding Dubois; we know there’s a 95% chance he’ll land there. Is there a way to close a deal so that Montreal gets it sooner and Winnipeg gets a wanted return? They talked regarding that,” Friedman said.
These words should further stir up speculation. The 24-year-old hockey player has amassed 25 goals and 33 assists, for 58 points in 66 games since the start of the campaign, his last before taking advantage of the autonomy with compensation. Eligible for salary arbitration, he has a one-year, $6 million contract.
