Deal<\/h2>\n<p>Dumais, an 18-year-old winger from Ile-Bizard, Quebec, is currently leading the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) in scoring with 19 goals and 30 assists for the Halifax Mooseheads.\u00a0 The signing adds the highly skilled Dumais to a growing list of skilled wingers recently drafted by the Blue Jackets.\u00a0 Dumais is scoring 2.22\/points per game and is on pace to score 150 points.\u00a0 He is just ahead of phenom Connor Bedard, the presumed top pick in the upcoming 2023 draft.<\/p>\n<p>The 5-8, 169-pound Dumais <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2022\/07\/09\/2022-nhl-draft-grades-part-2\/\" target=\"_self\">joins a young, skilled offensive Blue Jackets development pool<\/a>.\u00a0 Elite Prospects says that Dumais thinks the game well and can open up spaces in the offensive zone.\u00a0 Dumais spent some time with the club this summer.\u00a0 He participated in prospects camp, played in the Traverse City Rookie Tournament, and participated in training camp before being sent back to Halifax.<\/p>\n<p>While Dumais is not a coveted first-line center, his talent adds to a right side that will need reinforcements soon.\u00a0 Veteran winger <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/n\/nyquigu01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gustav Nyquist<\/a> will be an unrestricted free agent at season&#8217;s end and <a

noreferrer\">Jakub Voracek<\/a>&#8216;s contract ends after the 23-24 season.\u00a0 This allows Dumais to develop and then make a push for a roster spot.<\/p>\n<h3>What It Means for the Blue Jackets<\/h3>\n<p>Amid a pretty forgetful start to the season, the Blue Jackets could use a bit of good news.\u00a0 Dumais joins recent draft picks <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/f\/foudyli01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener

target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cole Sillinger<\/a>, and fellow draft classmate Luca Del Bel Belluz as prospects in a now-skilled pipeline.\u00a0 The injury-plagued Blue Jackets currently have several young players taking their lumps on the big club.\u00a0 Based on their performance thus far, it appears the Blue Jackets will be a fixture in the Bedard sweepstakes all season.\u00a0 Perhaps one ray of light for this season is Dumais will be a gem from the 2022 draft.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"KKwE83z8RUhRvsd--SIxNw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color:
