Brilliant idea.

LOL - rush him? No one is suggesting that he be rushed. If he makes the team he makes the team.
What I am saying is that 4th line usage doesn't kill a young player's development. The higher the line, the better the opposition. 4th line is sometimes a great shelter to actually increase confidence and build offensive skill. Some player thrive offensively in that role - Jooris for example.
Dube is a mid second round pick, with worse offensive stats in junior than Byron (albeit in the lower scoring W). If he turns into a 20 goal scorer like Byron I say great.
