Cheveldayoff opens up on Dubois trade; buyout an option for Wheeler. MORE:
Jun 29, 2023 at 07:27 AM ETNASHVILLE — Kevin Cheveldayoff acquired Pierre-Luc Dubois in hopes the star centre would be with the Winnipeg Jets for the rest of his career.
"Players, at a certain point in their careers, get choices and they earn those choices," Cheveldayoff said Wednesday."You'd have to ask Pierre-Luc, in his mind, why he made the decisions that he made, but for us as an organization, you have to take chances, take swings.Cheveldayoff said the trade offers Winnipeg more flexibility, and should offer increased opportunity to its younger players, including centre Cole Perfetti.
"We're very excited about the pieces that we acquired," Cheveldayoff said."Had a conversation with all of them and told him that it was an important step for our organization to add some depth and dimension. Dubois, who's now set to earn US$68 million over the next eight seasons, was drafted third overall at the 2016 draft by the Columbus Blue Jackets before being dealt along with a third-round pick to the Jets for forwards Patrik Laine and Jack Roslovic in 2021.
