On December 31, 2021, Dubois signed a two-year, $10 million contract extension to stay in Columbus.[4] During contract negotiations, Dubois' relationship with the Blue Jackets soured, and he requested a trade from the organization.[5][6] Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella benched Dubois twice within the first five games of the 2020–21 season. On January 18, Dubois missed most of the second period in Columbus's 3–2 win over the Detroit Red Wings.[7] Three days later, Tortorella removed Dubois from a game against the Tampa Bay Lightning in response to a poor first-period shift.[8] In the five games he played for Columbus that season, Dubois had one goal and seven shots on goal.[9][10]

Winnipeg Jets (2021–2023)

[edit]

On January 23, 2021, the Blue Jackets traded Dubois, as well as a third-round pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, to the Winnipeg Jets in exchange for Patrik Laine and Jack Roslovic.[11] Because of COVID-19 travel regulations between the United States and Canada, Dubois was required to quarantine for 14 days upon his arrival in Winnipeg.[12] He made his debut on February 9, centreing Kyle Connor and Trevor Lewis in Winnipeg's 3–2 loss to the Calgary Flames.[13][14]
