Dubois denies asking for trade out of Winnipeg

Though he recently accepted a one-year, $6 million qualifying offer from the Winnipeg Jets, there had been reports that Pierre-Luc Dubois had asked management for a trade.

Not only did reports suggest Dubois had asked for a trade, there were also rumors that he was at the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, as it was his belief he would be traded to the Montreal Canadiens that day. However, the 24-year-old seems to want to set the record straight. Not only did he deny asking for a trade, but he also gave a different reason for why he did in fact attend the draft.

Whether true or not, these comments seem to suggest Dubois is willing to play for the Jets this upcoming season. His future still remains a major question mark, though the Jets can afford to be patient with him given that he will remain a restricted free agent once this one-year deal comes to an end.
