From an on ice perspective Dubois for Monahan is pretty even. Dubois is better all around but Monahan is the better goal scorer which is important. Monahan also has the better offensive pedigree throughout his career.
Monahan has three years to UFA, Dubois has two more before he’s an RFA again. So that’s the biggest difference that needs to be considered, but Dube or Mangiapane is too big a price to pay for that.
I’d say Monahan+Kylington for Dubois seems pretty fair.

From a Flames fan standpoint sure, from a CBJ standpoint it isn't enough. Why would they want Kylington when they are loaded on D? He doesn't have that much value right now either. If I am the Jackets I ask for Dube as the add. Maybe BT can convince them to take Mangiapane instead and if the answer is yes you fax that in immediately. PLD is a big strong 1st line C with elite potential written all over him. Those rarely move.
