COLUMBUS, OH – APRIL 3: Pierre-Luc Dubois /

Pierre-Luc Dubois was largely overlooked for his performance as a rookie last season. He was undoubtedly one of the best newcomers in the league last year and the best rookie in Columbus Blue Jackets history. His teammate Zach Werenski, may have a problem with that statement, and if you do Zach, send us a DM. We can talk it out.

PLD was fantastic last season and he has established himself as the top line center for the Jackets, making him a must have in fantasy. He will start the season playing along side Artemi Panarin and Cam Atkinson, both of which should break the 30 goal mark this season. That’s a lot of assists for the 20-year-old.

He isn’t afraid to lay a hit or two either which will help your fantasy team out in the periphery stat column. PLD had 127 hits last year and that number is only going to go up as he becomes more comfortable in the NHL.

The center will likely be the youngest player on the team again this season but should be an obvious middle round pick up for your fantasy team. 60 plus points and some hits will help ensure your team, and the Jackets, make the playoffs.
