Thread: Jets move Dubois to improve D
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dutchies</b></div><div>I don't think Winnipeg can't afford to move Dubois right now, his value is at an all time low.
And honestly 2 years of Dumba is just as good, if not better, for this team as 1 year of PLD. Keep in mind, he's only got 1 more year, his cap hit is $5 mil and he has arbitration rights. Rarely do you see a salary go down in arb. Would you rather pay 6+ mil for a 50 point F or a 40 point 20+ min a night D man (which it seems the Jets desperately need)? With the guys Dubois played with, he should have been much better than 20 points in 41 games.....</div></div>

You don't give up on a guy because of a down season in a weird, shortened, injury plagued, covid season. Dubois likely rebounds next year and gets back to being the 1B center he has been. If at the end of next season Dubois is still not back to normal, then the Jets can look at moving him.

Right now I would and I'm sure Jets management would take Dubois over Dumba 100 out of 100 times.

There's a massive difference when one player is one year to RFA and the other is 2 to UFA. In this case Dumba wouldn't be an appropriate opening bid.
