Pierre-Luc Dubois has been linked to the Canadiens for over a year now. It's a safe bet that the forward played his last game with the Jets. We learned in the last few days that the Jets' request for Dubois had been none other than Nick Suzuki last summer. With a smile on his face, Kent Hughes had to hang up the phone. The requests have now changed, but are no more reasonable. According to Murat Ates, who covers Jets activities for <i>The Athletic</i>, Kevin Cheveldayoff is now reportedly asking for Kirby Dach and a prospect. Obviously, Hughes won't give Dach either, and the dance continues. Still according to Ates, the Canadiens' GM's offer was still pretty big. <q>Kent Hughes reportedly offered Josh Anderson, Christian Dvorak and a first-round pick for Pierre-Luc Dubois. - Murat Ates</q> <blockquote class=twitter-tweet><p lang=en dir=ltr>Which <a href=https://twitter.com/hashtag/NHLJets?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>#NHLJets</a> will be Jets when the puck drops on next season?<br><br>-Who stays<br>-Who goes<br>-What I think, what I know, and what I have no clue about<br><br>Good grief, this is a difficult offseason to predict. <a href=https://t.co/Z4ktGsnPFN>https://t.co/Z4ktGsnPFN</a>- Murat Ates (@WPGMurat) <a href=https://twitter.com/WPGMurat/status/1659971846383468544?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>May 20, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src=https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js charset=utf-8> Sure, you have to pay a certain price to acquire a player of Pierre-Luc Dubois's calibre, but you also have to be honest: does the Tricolore really need to sacrifice so much knowing they can get Dubois for free next summer? The question now is whether Kent Hughes is prepared to pay the price to bring the forward to Montreal a year early.
