Still doesn't change that Tkachuk was way more impressive at the same age at the same tournament. I'm not trying to belittle Dubois, I think he will end up being a good NHL player but Tkachuk was considered the better prospect his entire junior career and Dubois had a crazy surge the last 3 months prior to the draft, this was because he may or may not be able to play center in the NHL. Tkachuk was still the better player but obviously had the "he plays with Marner and Dvorak" critics, as well as being a winger.
