<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bnormie46</b></div><div>Dubois is the jets 1c and plays more than Scheifle now, not sure how you believe he's an unproven 2c?

Hey if the Jets consider PLD untouchable, by all means, consider him untouchable. Sad state of affairs in winnipeg. If you’re not sure how I feel he’s an unproven 2C, it might have something to do with not willingly looking at a couple dozen games, and deleting the last 300 from my memory. Maybe he’s turned a corner. Maybe he just played well for a couple months, which happens. Maybe the puck was just finding the back of the net for him. Honestly I like the player. I liked him in Columbus, but calling him a bonafide 1C is just insane at this point. He’s playing the best he’s ever played, and I would say that’s fringe 1C territory at best.

FIrst off, he’s just not the number one center on his own team, and no, he’s not playing more than Scheifele. That’s just objectively not true.
Secondly he just doesn’t score at the rate of a 1C. He’s 35th in points among centers. Tied for 46th in points per game. I think he’s got a lot more to offer than just points, but given that this represents a significant uptick from his career performance, 1C is just far from proven.

So on one side you’ve got that for a year before he hits RFA, arb eligible.
Then on the other you have nine years of a top five d man in the NHL.

Ya, that’s not really a discussion. It’s a fair point to say that this package wouldn’t be the structure that edmonton wants, as picks and prospects might not be what they’re looking for (retool vs rebuild), but its overkill in terms of value. McAvoy is preposterous. Carlo would be more of a discussion.
