Quoting: LIRIK
I think Dubois is definitly the better player.
He knows he won't get more than Suzuki if he signs in MTL.
It's not fair to compare Dubois to Danault, they're 2 totally different players. Suzuki is more like Danault, with better hockey IQ.
Dubois is a big goal scorer. He's mean, and would play a more physical game than Suzuki.
Dubois and Suzuki would be the perfect 1/2C combo.
You havent given me a reason why a Winger who slots in at Center but cant do anything that Defines a Center at the Pro level is a Center.
Thats like me calling Gallagher a Center who's 42.9% faceoff win rate isnt that much worse then Dubois literally 2-3% behind him
Different sample size 100% but that's because no one's daft enough to play Gally at Center despite being a solid and more consistent goal scorer
I get what you're trying to say
You're arguing as if im saying PLD is a Crap Player
He's not , he's a very good Winger who can take secondary draws
But he FAILED in 2 orgainzation to step up
Dylan Strome at a similar age/experience on his 2nd team and they didnt QO him after a career high goals and Center Metrics
Not the only one either as plenty of young talent like Sam Steel faced the same situation despite being a good Center he was inconsistent middle 6 option
Colin White was bought out and is almost as bad at Center as PLD
Difference between PLD and all them?
PLD is a good player being weighed down by a Position that isnt his role.
His role is Andersons aka battling along the boards and shooting alot playing Selfish Hockey to create Rebounds for teammates
You NEED guys like that , you just cant shove a square piece into a round hole
