Agreed

Am I the only one who would like to see Dube given a long look with Bennett and Janko?

Definite top four potential in the next year or two.
It doesn't seem to be a consensus opinion but in the games I've watched, Anderson has looked the most NHL ready of the challengers hoping to find a spot in the 3rd pairing.
