According to the information reported by Murat Ates yesterday afternoon, the Jets and the Kings had reportedly agreed on the terms of a trade involving forward Pierre-Luc Dubois. However, just when it was believed that this saga was finally about to conclude, Pierre Lebrun just made a major revelation in this case.
Indeed, according to his information, the Kings' General Manager, Rob Blake, has still not received permission to speak with Dubois's camp about a long-term contract extension. This statement thus casts doubt on whether an agreement has officially been reached between the two teams.
Furthermore, Arpon Basu, who works for The Athletic, just added fuel to the fire by mentioning that the Canadiens are still very interested in finding a way to acquire the services of the 24-year-old Quebecer. Moreover, according to a source close to PLD, it is still too early to exclude the Tricolore from the Pierre-Luc Dubois derby.
