His situation in Winnipeg is making a lot of headlines, as he will become a restricted free agent, while what we hear behind the scenes is that he only wants to get a one-season deal with the Jets to test complete autonomy in the summer of 2024.
However, in order not to lose him for nothing next year, Winnipeg is very likely to monetize his services now, and the draft is often the best time to complete such a large-scale trade.
According to rumors, the 24-year-old Quebecer wants to come play in Montreal, so the Tricolore will be a team to watch in this case.
In relation to a potential transaction, last April, Maxim Lapierre was the first to suggest a possible inclusion of defenseman Jordan Harris in a "package" for PLD. He thought the Jets couldn't turn a blind eye to the young defenseman.
Well, it appears he wasn't wrong, as NHL informant Elliotte Friedman said during a recent episode of his 32 Thoughts podcast that the Jets would be ready to accept Harris, or a similar type of player, as well as the Panthers' 1st round pick.
Wow! This is starting to look more like a price that Kent Hughes would be willing to pay to acquire Dubois this summer.
Would you be willing to include Harris and the Panthers' first-round pick, which is now between the 29th and 32nd overall in the draft, in exchange for Pierre-Luc Dubois?
