NHL Insider Believes Pierre-Luc Dubois Is Going To The Winnipeg Jets

TSN's Darren Dreger has dropped on Pierre-Luc Dubois sized bomb on the hockey world this evening. 

Dreger has stated that a number of teams who have seriously inquired about Dubois have been told they're out of the discussion. The Winnipeg Jets have been specifically named as a team who is still in. It's also worth mentioning that the deal is expected to be done as early as the morning. This now has insiders scrambling to be the first to confirm, but Patrik Laine is expected to be shipped off to Columbus in return.

Hearing a trade is likely to happen this weekend.

My sense from canvassing sources tonight, Columbus is closing in on a trade involving Pierre Luc Dubois. It’s a complicated process that could be resolved as early as tomorrow. Teams have been told they’re out. Hard to say who’s in, but it’s believed Winnipeg is among them.

According to Dreger on the Leafs pregame show, the Jackets are close to moving Dubois and interested teams are already being told if they're out.
