Oh wait, never mind, he did. His overall game is nothing special but I’m not rushing to push him out the door for no value.

Dube seems like he's being surpassed by multiple younger players. Love Dube for what he brings. He's been one of the few guys in the bottom six who has produced his own offence, and production in the bottom six has been a major issue for the Flames.
The issue is what Dube's demands are. If he wants a big raise, he becomes less worth it very quickly.
The Flames have multiple high energy prospects pushing for space. Already Zary and Pospisal have cemented their spots. There's also Pelletier, Coronato, etc.. looking for time.
I like Dube too. not at anything above $3 million though. And he's also a player the Flames need to look at moving for asset management reasons. Kick the tires around the league on him. If there's good demand, you think about moving him.
