I really think that Dube can be dominant - he only showed it for a few shifts of each game. If he can do that half his shifts instead of 10% of his shifts he is not leaving the Top 6. As much as I would love to see that playoff line (Bennett Dube Lucic) thrive I would like him to take the load off Johnny in transition, pursue pucks in the corner and lay some hits.
My concern with him playing with 13-23 is that he seems to be pretty good on the cycle and controlling the puck - not sure Monahan is active enough to play that style consistently.
