He believes they are relatively even in value, but scouts will prefer Dubois a little more because he can play centre.

Interesting Pronman says that for sure. From what I've seen Tkachuk can only influence a game with his passing out of the cycle and his dirty goals.
I think Dubois can be a gamebreaker in more way than one. Passing and scoring out of the cycle, playmaking out of the rush, making a huge defensive play with his elite positioning, using his sweet reach at the blue line to stop entries, finding open areas away from the puck. He just seems to be able to beat you many more ways, just needs more time to refine every aspect. Even as a winger I could see him being a Hossa type.

Would mean he likely falls to 6 and the Flames have a chance at drafting him.

I hope that who is actually fourth on the Flames list falls to six, even if it's Tkachuk. I'd prefer other guys though.
