Thread: Dubois
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheLeafsSeason</b></div><div>What are the Leafs always preaching about? Tougher to play against. PLD fits that mould perfectly, and he is the type of player we need. There are two sides to a trade, and sometimes you need to overpay to get a quality forward. What forward group do you not want to go against?

Hyman - Matthews - Marner
Mikheyev - Tavares - Nylander

or

Hyman - Matthews - Dubois
Mikheyev - Tavares - Marner</div></div>

I mean, you should know that I really like Nylander and I think you are massively ignoring some of his benefits and or attributing some to Dubois that aren't real.

For example:
Dubois has a rep as a twf. He isn't. He is mostly offence. He isn't terrible, at d, but he isn't good.
Gritty isn't really a thing for him either.

I think its an example of the grass seeming greener on the other side when it would be a lateral move at best, and a downgrade at worst
