Last year, the Los Angeles Kings were so discouraged by Pierre-Luc Dubois’ season that they agreed to trade him a year after working hard to bring him to town.

The Capitals wanted to take his contract? Good night, he’s gone.

And what’s interesting is that the Québécois has redeemed himself. In 77 games this season so far, he has 63 points, including 19 goals. It’s not a huge feat, but it equals his best career mark, which was during his last season in Winnipeg.

Right now, he’s an important part of the Capitals’ attack, a power in the NHL.

And all of this has led to his peers giving him the title of best Québécois in the NHL. The guys here voted, as they do every year, and L’Antichambre published the results.

First, we need to emphasize how well Dubois has been able to bounce back and come back strong after everything that happened. He made headlines for the wrong reasons in Columbus, Winnipeg, Los Angeles, and Montreal, but he bounced back.

Good for him!

But on the other hand, the fact that Dubois, who has not yet scored 20 goals this season, is the best Québécois in the NHL, says a lot about the state of hockey in Quebec right now.

We had already realized this at the Confrontation des quatre nations, but still.

Seeing Dubois and Jonathan Huberdeau (who has been doing well since his arrival in Calgary) in the top 2 is striking. And Jonathan Marchessault completes the top 3 with a rough season by his standards. He currently has 49 points.

Two players from the Canadiens are in the top 10: Samuel Montembeault (5) and Mike Matheson (10). Two former Habs players are also on the list: Jonathan Drouin in 9th place and Phillip Danault, tied for 10th place.


Overtime

– Ivan Demidov, better than Matvei Michkov at the same age?

– Another Habs prospect in the VHL.

– Important to note.

– Well.
