Value of: Dillon Dube

[Djp]

That's a really silly opinion. A team that won 2 cups traded 2 1sts for a player who Dube is a better version of in Coleman. Dube is bigger, faster, has a better shot and is turning into almost as good of a 2 way player. Oh and he's 3 years younger.

He’s now worth two firsts……………

If they were late 1sts I probably wouldn't even move him for that honestly. As to what he's worth, I'm not really sure.

His lack of three hard strides on the backcheck was noticeable last night on 2 of the goals. That said, could be some recency bias on my part.

Could also have been at the end of his shift.

Why would the Flames trade him? A late 1st is horrible value since the likelihood of getting an NHLer at that part of the draft is already a long shot, and if they pan out they're just another Dube anyway but maybe worse.

I trade Mangiapane every day of the week before Dube.

At one point this season I would have agreed. If only because his $5M salary is a bit too much.

But if you watch the guy closely, especially on the forecheck, he comes out of the corners with the puck more often than not. And that is a very valuable skill. Kind of reminds me of Pie McKenzie from the Bruins in the 60's.

I know he can score, but find him a high slot shooter like Esposito was for McKenzie, then watch Mangi's points totals soar.

Yeah, trading low on a 30 goal Scorer is almost always a bad idea
