The 24-year-old played in 81 games with the Winnipeg Jets last season, scoring 28 goals and recording 60 points.
Dubois was selected third overall by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, and played there for three seasons before being traded to the Jets midway through the 2020-21 season.
The forward recorded career highs in assists and points in 2018-19, his second in the league.
The Jets acquired Dubois in the trade that landed Patrik Laine, who was drafted one pick ahead of Dubois in 2016. In 33 Stanley Cup playoff games, Dubois has eight goals and 19 points.
He is coming off a two-year, $10 million contract he signed with the Blue Jackets before being traded.
The Ste-Agathe-des-Monts, Que., native has 102 goals and 239 points in 361 career NHL games.
More to come.
