Interesting statement from Aaron – he believes that Dubois has been trying to force his way to the Habs since he was in Columbus. Rather than butting heads with Tortorella as was rumoured at the time, Aaron posits that the relationship soured when Dubois expected an offer sheet from the Habs in 2020 and it was effectively blocked by the Blue Jackets. The Jackets didn’t have the cap space to match a Habs offer sheet, until they moved two defensemen just before the trade deadline to free up cap space. That effectively shut down any offer sheet (as they could have easily matched).
Given that he’s only been visible when he’s taking boneheaded penalties since game 1, I say grant his wish. For all the hype about how great a playoff style player hes supposed to be he sure has been underwhelming.
