According to Radio-Canada Sports columnist Martin Leclerc, the Habs are continuing discussions with the Winnipeg Jets to acquire the 24-year-old center.

Drafted third overall by the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2016, Dubois had a rocky relationship with coach John Tortorella. He was traded in January 2021 to the Winnipeg Jets in exchange for Patrick Laine and Jack Roslovic.

In 129 games in Winnipeg, including 7 playoff games, the center scored 36 goals and had 47 assists.
If he does not agree with the Jets, Pierre-Luc Dubois will become a restricted free agent on Wednesday. The Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts player received a qualifying offer from Winnipeg on Monday.
