I get the penalty thing, its an issue for sure, but this season he has had 2 penalties, one of which was borderline at best, the other one was stupid for sure, but I agree with a couple posts on here, he does play tentative after penalties and then he is ineffective, I watched the highlight video that was posted on this thread, for the people that say he doesn't pass or have vision, sorry that just isn't true, that season alone, if half of those set ups go in, he has another 10 points, that makes that season a 46 point season, with probably more opportunities, its a fifty point season, thus his confidence grows. Last year in the playoff bubble, when 19 got hurt, he filled in on PP1, that's when it began to pop, fast forward to this year, in the scrimmages, Dube is changing sweaters to go on PP2, that's his career in a nutshell, does his job well for a small sample size, doesn't get rewarded. Last season all the hype about him moving up the lineup to replace Frolik, no results for 1 period and he's replaced, 88 moves up doesn't produce for 10 plus games, 88 is a revelation. I'm not saying that 93 is better than 88 or 29 at this point but name me a player on this current roster whose leash is shorter? I'll wait.
