The Blue Jackets cut it close to training camp, but they’ve re-signed RFA Pierre-Luc Dubois.

Columbus extended the 22 year old forward with a two year, $10 million ($5M AAV) deal.

Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun reported that Dubois might be looking for a change of scenery at 12:07 PM and he was re-signed less than three hours later.

Pierre-Luc Dubois is not in Columbus as camp approaches and remains unsigned. And now there are rumblings from a few teams around the league that Dubois may be looking for a change of scenery. Maybe wishful thinking on their part. But stay tuned on this one.
