Jury's also still out on Valimaki, Kylington, Parsons, Pelletier, Kuznetsov. None of those guys have established them as regular top four defensemen, or top two goalies. It's possible Dube never takes the expected step forward to be a regular, contributing middle sixer either.

Of course the jury's out on them. Except I don't have much doubt about Dube and Valimaki having NHL careers. But the jury is in on all the players I mentioned.
Fox wasn't a good draft pick because they didn't sign him? Just used him in a successful trade? Please. We were talking about talent evaluation at the draft IMO. .
