Age doesn't matter in this case.....its all about adjustment to the bigger faster game. Everything was new to DD last year....for the first time in years he was not one of the top players on his team, never mind the league he was playing in.
Give Dube at least last year to figure it out, which it sure looks like he did at the AHL level.
I'm also in a huge minority that doesn't believe in Kylingtons "upside". I don't see a guy that thinks the game quick or well enough to be anything but a depth player, though admittedly at times last year he looked better than he had. His skating is above average, but nothing else about his game strikes me as anything special. He also plays a more difficult position, but again he has had 4 years to figure things out. This is going to be a very important year for him IMO.
