Don't even start with the JF Jacques and MA Pouliot comps to Dubois. Not even close.
Dubois had definable attributes, puck hungry. The guy doesn't stop when the puck isn't on his stick. This is the biggest difference between him and Tkachuk. Tkachuk might have an edge 10 feet from the net in, but Dubois is better everywhere else on the ice.
Haven't we seen enough offensive players who don't back check? Time to bring in some guys who love stealing the puck and hate turning it over. Dubois please.
That said, the Oilers have been telegraphing Tkachuk. I'm expecting him tho be the pick unless there are some trades.
