Was surprised to see him as high as 17th on Button's list. Seemed to me to be more of a 25-40 guy.

Had a great start to the season, then pretty underwhelming production the rest of the way - 23 points in his first 14 games, 43 in his last 51.

Good skater with a strong lower body who has an excellent burst/turn of pace to get around defenders and get himself space. Quick hands in tight but doesn't have a great shot or the elite vision/playmaking ability of a guy like Petan who was mentioned here. Does have a well-rounded defensive game for a smallish skill player and is a hard worker at both ends of the rink.

Probably projects as a quality smallish two-way middle-6 forward like a Matt Read ... which is a good asset, but I don't know if that's something I'd be targeting in the top 20.
 
Just read up on this thread, based on some of these comments, looking like a solid pick.

Taken by CGY in the 2nd round.
 
Made Canada's WJC roster over Sam Steel (3rd in WHL scoring but only 2 points back of 1st with 8 games in hand/30th overall pick in 2016) and Zach Senyshyn (15th overall pick in 2015). Apparently was excellent in camp.

How has he been this season in Kelowna since returning from injury?
 
Jeez, I know team Canada likes him but I wasn't expecting him to actually make the team.

He reminds me of Konecny, Gallagher, Marchand. Short but very gritty with some offensive upside. Best skill is his speed and compete IMO.

He's not as talented as those guys and not as abrasive as Gallagher and Marchand.

I compared him to Matt Read much earlier in this thread and would stand by that - to me, he projects as a hard-working 35-45 point middle-6 guy who plays a speedy, solid all-around game despite being undersized.

Dube is a good point-producer in the WHL but doesn't project to be a high-end scorer at higher levels, I don't think.
 
Love his game, can’t wait to watch him at the next level

Natural hat trick + an assist tonight through 2 periods as Kelowna is slaughtering Victoria.
 
Another 4 point night again tonight. Up to 53 points in 37 games. For perspective that'd put him on a 103 point pace over a full season.
 
He's been unbelievable lately. Not only is he fantastic defensively, his offensive production has skyrocketed.

11 goals, 13 assists, 24 points in his last 11 games.

Currently ranks 9th in the WHL for points per game at 1.43.

Of the 8 players ahead of him, only 3 players (Steel, Patrick, Yamamoto) are of his age group or younger.

I think he might have more offensive skill then anyone originally thought, including me. Still don't see him as a future top 6 player but I think he could be an excellent third liner who has no problem jumping into the top 6 if needed.

But like all prospects, there's a good chance he doesn't work out. But he's looking very, very, very good.

I don't think he has enough pure skill for bonafide top 6 player potential as well, but he could be a very good 2/3 line tweener
 
Having an excellent preseason. Made a beautiful play Monday night setting up Jankowski for a shorthanded goal and already has 2 assists in the first 5 minutes of tonight's game despite playing on the 4th line with Lomberg and Glass.

I get more and more excited about him every day. Amazing forechecker and possession player.

Oh you forgot to say how he embarrased two NHL defensemen doing it
