Dube has impressed me a lot since the WJ's. He always seemed to be creating chances and involved in the play. I thought he was one of the most effective forwards on the forecheck. Interesting to note that pro-rated, he would hit almost 100 points this season. I am actually more excited about him than Phillips. Phillips, Fox, Dube and Parsons have had very good post-draft years. I am excited for Tuulola too and hope his production increases as he gets used to being and playing in NA.
It's still early but combine that with Tkachuk's play, and Falkovsky' work in the ECHL, it's been a good year for that draft class. Don't know much about Mattson and Lindstrom to comment on their development.
