As we reported to you last week, the saga Pierre-Luc Dubois is coming to an end with the Winnipeg Jets following he informed the management of the team, through his agent Pat Brissonthat he was not interested in signing a contract extension with them, not even for a year before becoming an unrestricted free agent.
We also know that a transaction will take place in the next two weeks, between now and the June 28 draft.
We have known it for several weeks now and the main interested party does not hide it, it is in Montreal that he would like to continue his career while the Canadian is at the top of his list of teams.
Many supporters on social networks did not see the relevance for the Canadian to conclude a transaction with the Jets and give large pieces to acquire it when it is one year from becoming free as air.
However, the situation took an unexpected turn and, in an effort to help the team trade him, the Dubois clan submitted to the Jets a list of 5 or 6 teams where they would be willing to sign a contract extension of 8 years. Of course, the Canadian is one of them.
It is therefore to say that if Kent Hughes is interested in adding the power forward to his squad, he has no choice but to compromise for him and now can’t just wait for him next summer as he will have signed a long-term contract elsewhere over the next few days, following the transaction and will not be available for a long time.
So it’s now or never for the Canadian. Let’s see if Hughes will be ready to give the necessary elements to win the derby.
