Strongly disagree here. Sillinger is bigger and meaner than Dube, plays a harder game, and is less a speed threat but more of a swiss army knife.
Going on offensive potential, I think Sillinger is much higher as well. In Sillinger's 16 year old season in the Dub he put up 53 points in 48 games. Dube at the same age put up only 27 points in 45 games. Dube made the NHL in his d+2 season and put up 5 points in 25 games. Sillinger's first nhl season saw him hit 31 points in 79 games.
If Sillinger is on a similar development curve to Dube, then he's likely to start popping more offensively this season and really next season. But I'd say the potentially is pretty demonstrably better with Sillinger.
