Dube is too fast for Ritchie and Monahan and thus gets caught by himself up ice a lot. If he has the puck his mates aren't there yet. If he doesn't he's too far for a pass. If Backlund could stand losing Coleman, Dube would do better on that line - it's generally faster. Coleman-Monahan-Toffoli would be at least as good as Dube-Monahan-Toffoli. It's only a question of whether that hurts the second line too much.
