He seems best at working the board on the wings and skating north south. He just doesn't have the speed, strength, or manoeuvrability to drive play through the middle. The imbalance/lack of chemistry this causes is a huge reason why the 3rd line, which should be contributing and outscoring Edmonton's depth, is a non-factor so far. I'd love to see Ruzicka but I don't think it's happening. I'd like to see Dube moved to C in his place.
