Blue Jackets re-sign Dubois to 2-year, $10M contract

The Columbus Blue Jackets have secured forward Pierre-Luc Dubois' services for the next two seasons at an average annual value of $5 million, the club announced Thursday.

Dubois, who was a restricted free agent, will earn $3.35 million in 2020-21 and $6.65 million in the following campaign.

The 22-year-old led Columbus with 49 points and ranked third on the team with 18 goals in 2019-20. It was his third season with the Blue Jackets, who drafted him third overall in 2016. He produced a career-high 27 goals and 61 points in 2018-19.

Dubois was one of the top RFAs who had yet to sign a contract ahead of the 2020-21 season. New York Islanders star Mathew Barzal and Chicago Blackhawks forward Dylan Strome remain without new deals.
