DILLON DUBE - Center - 21 - $.778MM Cap Hit - RFA in 2021-2022
LAST UPDATED 6/28/19
A leader and a prolific scorer at every lower level of hockey, Dillon Dube had a hard time adjusting to the NHL game when he made Calgary's team early in the season. His versatility kept him in the lineup for 25 games, but his lack of size was an issue for him because his skating wasn't good enough to make up for it. This resulted in him not scoring very much in the NHL, and his lack of size and standard rookie inconsistency led him to be a liability defensively. His natural game is one of two-way responsibility, but both of those factors combined led to his natural defensive value being nullified. He scored incredibly well in the AHL, though, indicating that upside is still there for Dube, but will his lack of truly elite skills make him one of the players that is PPG in the AHL and only a bottom-6 NHL forward? That definitely seems plausible.
