Pierre-Luc Dubois has done it again, this time ticking off members of the Winnipeg Jets' fanbase after the 2016 3rd overall pick was spotted autographing Montreal Canadiens gear following an offseason skate in his home province of Quebec.

Obviously, Dubois has ticked off the city of Winnipeg enough already, what with his recent public announcement that he had no desire to remain in Winnipeg and would not sign any deal that took him into his UFA years and that he wants to be a Montreal Canadien.

Matters only got worse when Dubois took part in a media session via Zoom and tried to walk back some of his comments about wanting to leave Winnipeg, stating that he's perfectly happy in Winnipeg and that he doesn't know what he's going to want to do a couple of years down the line. Fans saw right through his feeble attempt to sweep the bad PR under the rug and his disingenuous comments about wanting to remain in Winnipeg.


Now, with Dubois signing autographs on non-Winnipeg Jets gear, it's likely the straw that breaks the camel's back in Winnipeg. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised to see Dubois skate out to boos on opening night.
