Pierre-Luc Dubois is listed on the left wing but he can play both sides and IIRC is has been lining up at center most of this season. You love that versatility in a forward. Smart with an already refined defensive game.
6'3, over 200 pounds and can skate? If the Flames get this guy at 9, it's a steal. Could see him sneaking up the rankings as we get closer to the draft though.

This kid would instantly drop Poirier and Klimchuck down a spot which would be refreshing. We need higher end forward prospects. It seems like we have a farm team full of really good bottom 6 nhl prospects and 2 guys that MIGHT one day crack the top 6. We so need someone like Dubois. May even push a guy like Poirier to elavate his game.
If it happens that we miss the playoffs, this would be a great pick around the 10 spot. Would be a great fit with Bennett too.
