JP, as he is usually referred to, was drafted third overall the 1996 NHL Entry Draft by the New York Islanders. In 1998, a contract dispute between Dumont and the team led to the Islanders trading him to the Chicago Blackhawks along with a 5th round pick in exchange for Dmitri Nabokov. In March 2000, he was traded again, to the Buffalo Sabres. Dumont, Doug Gilmour and a draft pick went to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for Michal Grosek.
Dumont played excellently during the Sabres' run in the 2006 playoffs, including scoring an overtime goal in Game 3 second round series versus the Ottawa Senators.
In August of 2006, Dumont signed a two year, US$4.5 million contract with the Nashville Predators, after the Buffalo Sabres rejected Dumont's US$2.9 million arbitration award.
