LeBrun on Insider Trading talking Dubois: “Our understanding is Pat Brisson has informed the Winnipeg Jets that his client isn’t inclined to sign an extension this summer not even a 1-yr bridge, Pat Brisson would like to work with the Jets on a trade for Dubois to another team”

According to LeBrun’s understanding, Dubois, through his agent Pat Brisson, has asked the Jets to trade him. He wouldn’t even be open to signing a 1-year “bridge” contract extension with Winnipeg.
However, the forward could decide not to sign and therefore not start the season in Winnipeg if the situation doesn’t evolve to his liking.
Some teams will be prepared to offer big returns if they can secure his services for the long term. The problem is, we don’t know how Dubois’ clan will view a potential transaction.
Hughes’ argument is that he will become an independent player in a year’s time. The stakes will be high, however, as some teams may try to convince Dubois to sign long-term. And therein lies the risk.
We’ll have to juggle between the desire to secure Dubois and giving away too much, given the circumstances.
