It was barely a month ago that
I mentionned Pierre-Luc Dubois asking for a trade and the
Winnipeg Jets being a serious option even though they were already set at the 1C/2C positions with
Mark Scheifele and
Paul Stastny respecively, but
the teams exchanged problems anyway, with
Patrik Laine and
Jack Roslovic going to the
Columbus Blue Jackets. It's not too often that one has the chance to acquire a young top-line centre as he's hitting his prime, and Dubois has the potential to become a
Vincent Lecavalier-type of elite player.
I had previously showcased him wearing
Team Canada's red (away) uniform, so card #31 from
Upper Deck's
2015-16 Team Canada Juniors/Women set isn't really anything "new" (except that he's seen here bracing for contact instead of making a play):
But card #H-24 from the
Hydro sub-set of the same collection shows him wearing the team's white (home) uniform from the same 2015 U-18 World Juniors:
He was the youngest player on that U-18 team that captured bronze, in the same season where as a 16-year-old rookie with the LHJMQ's
Cape Breton Screaming Eagles, he was already wearing the alternate captain's "A".
He signed both as a member of the Jackets after a game against the
Ottawa Senators.
