Wpg says no, not even close. And what comments? Dubois hasn't said anything about wanting to play in MTL. In fact, he called it fake news lol.
Yeah… HE called fakes news. Sure… nothing anywhere saying that but hey, you clearly are in his circle of trust. Actually, even better, his agent discussed this last year. If Chev doesn’t trade him to MTL he’ll either lose him when Dubois gets something between 6.5 to 7.5 in arbitration and they can’t make room for him or will need to give up other players to make that room, or pose him in a year and yeah, teams are interested for him, but knowing he’ll go UFA and want to see if Mtl is a destination for him they won’t pay a first and NHL caliber players.
Here’s the comment by his agent last year reported by an actual sports news media TheScore:
“ His agent, Pat Brisson, said Wednesday that Dubois would like to play for the Montreal Canadiens.
"Montreal is a city he would probably … I can talk about it because he doesn't have a contract at the moment - he's a restricted free agent," Brisson told TVA Sports in French, as translated by The Athletic. "Montreal is a place, a city he'd like to play in. That's all I can say about that."”…
