Yeah, Dube has a very strong track record of solid defensive play at multiple levels, and was the most important defensive forward on the WJ team. Obviously that is not the same as the NHL, but he has proven that he is a smart player defensively.
Mangiapane does not have that same pedigree, though his 200ft game has improved substantially over the last 2 years in Stockton and he is now a solid player.
