In one fell swoop, three trade requests became none – the first blockbuster deal of this peculiar 2021 NHL season bears plenty of fantasy fruit to squeeze.
In Pierre-Luc Dubois, the Jets are receiving a sure-fire top-six centre, who coupled with Mark Scheifele, gives Winnipeg one of the best one-two punches up the middle in the entire NHL. To date, the 22-year-old’s best output came back in 2018-19, when he notched 27 goals and 61 points. In five outings this season, Dubois has mustered just one measly goal. He’ll now quarantine in Winnipeg for at least a week before we see his Jets debut.
