With the NHL season coming to an end, it appears like we might see our first blockbuster trade of the off-season sooner possibly before the NHL Draft. As RDS revealed the New York Rangers General Manager Chris Drury is very interested in acquiring the services of pending restricted free agent, Pierre Luc-Dobois from the Winnipeg Jets.
The Rangers had a great season and playoffs, but were eliminated by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Eastern Conference Final. Rangers General Manager, Chris Drury is hoping the addition of a player of Dubois' caliber could help them take the next step and be a Stanley Cup contender.
Dubois was traded in January 2021 from the Columbus Blue jackets in a blockbuster deal to the Winnipeg Jets after his relationship with then Head Coach, John Tortorella went south. Dubois is a pending RFA that was making an annual salary of $5,000,000. Dubois had a career year posting, 28 goals and 32 assists with -6 rating in 81 games with the Jets this season.
Last week it was reported Dubois has zero interest in extending beyond 2 years with the Jets, as he intended to test unrestricted free agency summer of 2024 as revealed by Sportsnet's Hockey Insider Elliotte Friedman.
