BREAKING - Pierre-Luc Dubois Has Officially Signed a HUGE Contract WHERE!?
The Pierre Luc-Dubois sweepstakes officially OVER! Dubois made it through the NHL's free agency frenzy, the Canadian Quebecer Dubois is coming off a 3 year contract of $5 million per season and he has made it very clear that he is not willing to re-sign with the Winnipeg Jets... Dubois is only 24 years of age and has a big body presence (6 foot 3) that any team would love to have as a centerman.
Dubois was born and raised in Ste-Agathe-des-Monts, Quebec Canada and it's been rumored that the Montreal Canadiens are front runners to acquiring his rights in hopes to get the Quebec born player home. Dubois figured there was a deal set in stone and he attended the NHL's entry draft in Montreal on July 7th because he thought he would be traded and wanted to hear it in person, live from Montreal.
A odd twist, he has signed a one year deal in Winnipeg, some are wondering.. why? I thought he didn't want to.. well, Columbus's qualifying offer is one Dubois couldn't refuse, $6 million!
He will be a free unrestricted agent after this season and be able to sign where he is most happy after making $6 million, and will likely take a pay cut to go to his hometown with the Habs.
