Yes, someone else would likely be leaving the Flames had both Zucker and Edler joined the team, Fantenberg for one would probably not be acquired.

Maybe that offer that blew the Canucks away included a roster player, and something will have to eventually give on Calgary's defense.

There was obviously a plan to move a lot of salary out had Ottawa accepted Treliving's offer for Stone.

I wouldn't be keen on pursuing Zucker in the summer because I think Dube will be able to fill that role as soon as next season.

Dube isn't as big as Zucker, obviously, but he is faster, is developing nicely to be great defensively, and has similar offensive upside.

So why take on Zucker's contract?

A cost-contained Dube would fit very nicely on Backlund's line: Dube - Backlund - Tkachuk

Nope, you're right. Dube's bigger (by 4 pounds - they are the same height).

Wow, that is surprising. Zucker just looks taller on the ice.

Well, motherzucker, could've fooled me.

I would try for Hayes in free agency, rather than give something up in a trade.

A lot of fast players like Dube seem smaller for some reason. Russ Courtnall was also 5'11 but he seemed small. Gartner was 6 feet and I always thought of him as a littler guy.

He may also have a more crouched style.

My lovely friends who are Canucks fans are going on and on about how Calgary tried to trade Dube and a 1st fof Edler. Saying Edler turned the trade down. Man I'd have been pissed if that happened!

Your friends are drunk. It was probably a 3rd or a project like Foo.

Really weird as they all admit how bad their GM is when it comes to trades. Oh well kind of fun listening to them cry about what they didn't get! Muuuhahaha!

Dube is the most overrated player on this website. It’s honestly ridiculous.

Point per game in the ahl, can play all 3 forward positions, great hockey IQ.

He may not be top tier, but he is probably the flames #1 forward prospect.

Its why Elder wouldn't waive as well reportedly. He wants to stay in Vancouver.
Edler loves Vancouver. He will sign for cheap and retire a Canuck.

Guys that downplay Dube usually really like Mangiapane or Czarnik. I like all 3.

Treliving made that offer to troll Benning knowing Elder would never waive.
