Dube is worse defensively than Kadri lol. Lindholm and Toffoli are better without Dube, they are great players
The only thing that you said that is correct is that Dube can PK, he’s one of the worst defensive forwards in the league at 5v5. Just because he plays all forward positions doesn’t mean much, he usually sucks on any line he’s on.
Good Defensively Shorthanded on the Penalty Kill, yet Sucks at Even Strength, yeah that makes a ton of sense
Like I said, Dube's been playing all over the place this season, not in one set position or line and playing beside Kadri has affected his Even Strength Defensive Statistics Negatively
Combine this with the revolving door we've had between new acquisitions and at Defence given injuries and personal reasons and almost all the Flames have taken a step backwards and under performed this season, yet Dube came in to camp in the best shape out of everybody and was still able to perform better offensively. He was putting up 1.00PPG with Lindholm & Toffoli who have struggled to find a consistent LW linemate themselves as well. Dube & Toffoli and Dube & Mangiapane are both excellent chemistry combinations
Wahlstrom's good, but he's not improving or on an upward trend offensively like you want and expect to see, so I'd say his value has dropped and Holmstrom is still young, but hasn't looked very impressive in the NHL or AHL for that matter, so his value has to have dropped even more significantly as well
GAR & WAR are attempts to rate a players overall performance with a number, so it is what it is and not exactly the most accurate or best way of analysing a player
