I don't think there's too many similarities between Laughton and Dube, other than their shared ability to play all 3 forward positions- Laughton is bigger, much more hard-nosed and physical, and is known for his defensive prowess. Laughton is much closer to Backlund than Dube.
Yes, we could use another top-6 player, but does that mean we have to stop improving the bottom-6? Laughton has the skill and scoring to fill in as a second-line C, as well- or as a winger. We could use more hard-nosed, physical players.
