The development of those 2 is like the development of Anderson and Kylington on defence. Riitich in goal. Flames internal development really coming along.

These guys could very well decide the fate of the franchise over this next 3-5 year window. Do they develop into impact players or role players? So far I see Anderson as the most likely to have a big impact but Dube has really impressed as of late. Still such a small sample size to really know though. If he could turn into a legit top 6 forward that would be huge. Even if he doesn't, if him and Mangipane both turn into legit 20 goal scorers that could provide the depth to overcome a lack of high end talent. The way I see it is you either have super high end talent in your top 6 with a well rounded bottom 6 or you have to have crazy depth through all lines.
