Examining the Potential Upsides and Downsides of the Bruins Acquiring Pierre-Luc Dubois
Pierre-Luc Dubois has made it clear that he has no intention of returning to the Winnipeg Jets. With one year remaining on his contract and no possibility of an extension, the Jets are expected to move Dubois this summer. One potential destination for the centerman is the Boston Bruins.
The Bruins are reportedly exploring the possibility of acquiring the 24-year-old center from the Jets. Let's take a closer look at the potential advantages and drawbacks of bringing in Dubois:
Pros:
Dubois is a promising player at only 24 years old. He had an impressive season, ranking fourth in points on the Jets' roster with a career-high 63 points in 73 games. There is still a bunch of potential in his game.
With uncertainty surrounding the futures of Bergeron and Krejci, adding Dubois, a capable center, could provide stability and depth to the Bruins' lineup.
Cons:
One concern is Dubois' reputation as a somewhat toxic player. Despite being in the league for just six years, he has already requested trades from both teams he has played for.
Furthermore, acquiring Dubois could come at a significant cost for the Bruins, which is not ideal considering the potential for a rebuild within the close future.
