Is it just the grass is greener? Makes zero sense to me, you hang on to that guy.

First of all the xGA went up significantly when then Dube was on the ice. He looks lost offensively and defensively at times which makes me question his hockey IQ, because he has all the other tools in place.
Second there are only 12 forward spots: Huberdeau, Backlund, Coleman, Kadri, Sharangovich, and Mangiapane likely take 6 spots next year. Lindholm is a question mark. That leaves 5-6 spots for: Zary, Pospisil, Pelletier, Coronato, Dube, Ruzicka, Greer, Duehr, Honzek, and Klapka to fight for. It's hard to figure out who will be the guys out, and Dube has the highest caphit of the bunch.
