Pierre-Luc Dubois

After bouncing around and playing for four teams since the decade began, it seems like Dubois has finally found a home with the Capitals. The 26-year-old registered a career-high 66 points, playing in all 82 games in the regular season for the second straight year. The Capitals were the leaders of the Eastern Conference in part because many guys like Dubois outperformed preseason expectations. Now the question becomes whether or not the versatile center can produce like this in consecutive seasons after getting back over the 20-goal threshold this year. Dubois will likely have to do so again from a middle-six and second power-play unit role, considering how well Dylan Strome performed as Alex Ovechkin's center, which might limit the potential for more production out of Dubois heading into the 2025-26 campaign.
