So I have no idea who Dube is. Seems like a low level middle 6 center, which Detroit already has Suter and Rasmussen who fall into the same category, as well as Veleno who projects to be middle 6. So Dube seems pretty much a throw in.
Essentially, this breaks down into Detroit trading their 8th and Bertuzzi and a 3rd round pick to get the right to draft Cooley or Slafvkosky. Neither player is a slam dunk top line NHLer. Or Detroit holds onto 8th overall, and has options that can pan out to be top 6 forwards or top 4 D, depending on how the first 7 picks go. Plus, this is Yzerman, who managed to get Seider and Raymond with later picks, and both players may pan out to being the best in their draft classes. Kasper looks NHL ready to be a second line center, and there are some really good D that are 2 to 3 years from being top 4.
Basically, Detroit says absolutely not. There are better uses for their assets.
