I was going to rant on and on about him in the game thread so I figured, "just create a thread", because there is a lot to discuss.
Looking at his draft class, who else would you take? We took Fox in rd 3 so he's out.
Dude's a gamer. I feel when we're playing like duds he's always the guy that is trying to turn it around with no help.
Often the throwaway trade fodder with fans, always running throughout the lineup for Sutter.
I think Sutter quietly loves him and forces him into situations to make him better (C, Left-side).
Personally, I think he left the A a year early in hindsight, but we're all impatient.
Dube is an excellent case study to our ppg AHL guys now.
I'd point at Robertson in Dallas too. Jim Nill (come back to Detroit,lol) definitely let him ferment before putting him on the big team.
But back to Dube. He does everything you want, and not a peep out of him.
He's turning the corner into a really good top 6 forward.
It takes time. He's really coming into his own.
I love that we have him.
