Today was the deadline to file for salary arbitration and the folks at PuckPedia are reporting that Pierre-Luc Dubois will not be filing for salary arbitration.

If you’re wondering what that means here is what they said:

Reasons to not file for Arb:

-Player wants to be able to accept his Qualifying Offer (expires July 22) & doesn’t expect Arb award to be significantly better. Or doesn’t want to give up the leverage of accepting QO

-Player wants to keep open the ability to sign an offer sheet

Which makes for an interesting times ahead.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
