Granted, I'm going off of last year and not this year, but Dube and Mangiapane were a great PK duo, and Dube played 100% better the few times he was put in the middle and given more defensive responsibility. I don't think speedy offensive winger is his skillset at all, but it's what he mostly has played in Calgary.
Maybe he's lost what he could have been from lack of use, and never was what he is now. That's kind of a worse case scenario.
