Rookie Pierre-Luc Dubois likely won’t be making the cut for the Calder Memorial Trophy consideration this summer, but that’s more a testament to the great rookie class the NHL has with the likes of Mathew Barzal, Brock Boeser (NHL All-Star Game MVP), and Yanni Gourde. Each top three in scoring among rookies and all with at least 50 points. And there’s an amazing crop just beyond those three.
Dubois, however, has the scoring touch of his own. More importantly, he is a budding star and No. 1 center the Columbus Blue Jackets have long craved.
