you'd take him over chipchura ? i have seen both of these players play several times and let me tell you dubinski doesnt compare to chipchura. chipchura is arguably the 1st or 2nd best two way player in the draft. just because dubinski has more points doesnt make him better. chipchura can do it all, ALL. dubinski is a little rat who gets PP points. chipchura any day
I know that points are not everything but I think Dubinsky will be a steal in this draft. To me, Chipchura is a good all around player but I think he doesn't have the offensive upside to be more than a 2nd line player and I don't even think he'll do that. I think Chipchura will end up a good 3rd line player like an Ethan Moreau type(who was also a good 2 way forward who went in the 1st round pack in 94). There are always steals in a draft and players that people wonder why they weren't picked earlier. Dubinsky is my choice.
Stats(when PP points are taken away)
Chipchura 48GP 6G 21A 27P
Dubinsky 53GP 17G 18A 35P
My biggest concern with Chipchura is his lack of goal production at the junior level. I have always felt players that can't score in juniors have very difficult times in the pros.
