Recently, it was reported that Winnipeg Jets forward Pierre-Luc Dubois had requested a trade from the club, after just arriving at the beginning of the 2020-21 NHL season.

Dubois spoke to media on Monday to clear the air about his trade rumours:
''You hear so many things that I apparently said or apparently did. A lot of it is frustrating, to read [about] some things that I didn't even know I did or I didn't do, didn't say,"

"At this time, the one-year deal was the way we wanted to go. ... You read stuff (like), 'He wants out of Winnipeg.' If I wanted out of Winnipeg, I would've asked for a trade. I didn't ask for a trade. There was no doubt in my mind that I was gonna show up to camp."

Dubois also cleared up why he went to the draft:

"I went to the draft because I live 15 minutes from the arena. I'm a fan of hockey," he said. "My bank invited me, they had a box with food and dinner. It's an entertaining night ... I used to go to drafts when I was a kid. If I was invited to go with the Jets, I would've gone with them."

"Look, I don't even know what I'm eating tonight for dinner. I don't know what I'm going to do in two years," he said. "I don't know what I'm going to do in six years. I don't know what I'm going to do in six months.''
