Winnipeg Jets: Three Keys For Continued Success
1. The Jets need Dubois to be at peak form quickly
The clock is winding down to Dubois’ debut in a Jets uniform, and he is as excited as the fans are based on his interview with Sara Orlesky from TSN.
The Jets have had to wait longer for Dubois to make his debut than Columbus had to for Patrik Laine due to some inconsistent protocols around COVID, as reported by the Winnipeg Free Press’ Mike McIntyre. But, starting next week, it will all be well worth the wait.
Kieran Hurley wrote an excellent article outlining the possibilities for where Dubois might fit into the lineup. With a player of the caliber of Dubois, determining where to fit him into the lineup is considered one of those fantastic problems to have.

His integration into the lineup comes at a time for the Jets when stars like Mark Scheifele, Nikolaj Ehlers, and Kyle Connor are putting up great numbers. The Jets are also getting much improved secondary scoring from newly minted top-six forward Andrew Copp, veteran Paul Stastny as well as bottom-six forwards like Adam Lowry and Mason Appleton.
I suspect that Dubois is the type of player that will seamlessly fit with any of the Jets’ top forwards. For the Jets to remain in the playoff race they will need a strong contribution from Dubois at both ends of the ice. I cannot wait for the Jets to unleash him on the rest of the North division!
