Dubinsky had an off year last year. Have you watched Anisimov play this year? The guy has tremendous upside and a bright future. Both players are also better in the defensive zone. They fit Torts' system better.
It amazes me how you can somehow defend Gaborik after how he's played this year. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt too if his play at least a little bit resembled his play from previous years. I'm hopeful he turns hit around, we need him to.
dubinsky had a relatively average year. he is a 10-15 goal guy who can play defense. the columbus ****ing blue jackets are trying to trade him now that says something. anisimov was my favorite player last year and giving him up hurt. that said arty has all the talent in the world but is incredibly streaky. he may have one of the best shots ive ever seen but you dont see it all that often. i still take gabs over both of these players
