After being benched on Thursday night on national TV against the Tampa Bay Lightning, Pierre-Luc Dubois’ situation finally crossed a line with the organization. With rumors swirling, and effort levels waning, Columbus Blue Jackets GM Jarmo Kekalainen’s hand was forced and he was propelled into action.
This morning, the Columbus Blue Jackets traded their now-former third overall pick and and disgruntled first line center to the Winnipeg Jets for Jack Roslovic and Patrik Laine.
Dubois played 259 games for the club, never missing a game due to injury in his time here.
