Dubois, a 24-year-old center, has not had a particularly impressive season with the Jets, scoring only 25 goals in 66 games. It is possible that he will have better luck with the Habs. However, it remains unclear who the Jets will trade in exchange for Dubois.
The possibility of Dubois joining the Canadiens has been circulating among fans for some time now, with rumors starting last summer before he signed a one-year offer with the Jets for $6 million. It appears that these rumors may finally come to fruition. The Jets and Canadiens are even considering a deal that would allow the Habs to acquire Dubois earlier in exchange for something that the Jets want.
