Agreed. That line has disappointed far more than popped. I have been thoroughly disappointed by lindholm offensively this year. A lot of that has to do with losing 2 elite wingers, but his inability to really generate anything 5 on 5 regardless has been alarming.
Dube isn’t really a top 6 forwards in my eyes, but has the skill set to move up and down the lineup. Problem for him is that lindholm/toffoli aren’t really like drivers at 5on5 either. Lindholm not having a playmaker on his line has really made him a non-factor offensively, which sucks.
Huberdeau being a complete and utter flop has really f’d up all the slotting for the forwards.
As such, can’t really blame dube in my view. Not his fault he’s playing too high up on the depth chart.
