It definitely is on Sutter now. Agree with everything the first post said. Walker Duehr has been solid when he's in the line up, has wheels, first to the forecheck, first forward on the back check, he tries every shift he's out there and he has some good hockey IQ. instead, Lucic LUCIC and more LUCIC. Tre said the play of Duehr made R. Ritchie expendable, well we haven't seen him in the line up since.
Dube is 4th on the team in goals. Instead of trying him with Huberdeau/Kadri ( even though they need to be split), he gets thrown onto the 4th line, playing 4th line minutes with Lucic/Lewis when what this team lacks desperately is goals. Instead, throw Nick Ritchie there. Guy you just got, trying to learn the system, yadah yadah. Dube deserves a spot in the top 6.
