Dubois vs. Tkachuk

[Dominance]

Both 2016 draftees who have been compared a few times with most polls finishing very close results. If I recall correctly, the popular opinion favoured Tkachuk in 2017, Dubois in 2018, and Tkachuk last season.

The question: Who do you take going forward?

Dubois: 42 points (17 goals), 52 GP, 65 hits, 41 blocks, 21 takeaways, 35 giveaways, 51.2 CF%, +4.1 CF% relative, 102.2 PDO.

Tkachuk: 42 points (17 goals), 52 GP, 101 hits, 13 blocks, 32 takeaways, 64 giveaways, 59.2 CF%, +12.0 CF% relative, 100.8 PDO.

I take Dubois as the two-way centreman with as much grit and the same production with substantially less offensive talent around him.

I’ll take Brady over Dubois

 

[Connor McConnor]

Tkachuk is a better overall hockey player but PLD plays centre so it's a tough one. I went with Chuckers even though he's a dirty rat.

 

[Ctrain2k]

Always preferred Dubois, wanted the oilers to draft him in 2016.

 

[Icebreakers]

If you need the C you take Dubois, if you need the W you take Tkachuk. They are equal talent imo.

 

[JackSlater]

Tkachuk for the entertainment value.

 

[Dumais]

PLD AINEC

Being the only legitimate top 6 center on the team, he draws the toughest matchups. He creates his own chances and great work ethic.

Awesome debate dating back to 2016! I was the biggest PLD fan near draft time. Now if you want a C you take PLD, if you want a W you take Tkachuk. Really close either way

 

[ProbertKocur]

Dubois gets the edge because he’s a center

 

[D0ctorCool]

It's close. Canucks have had too many shit disturbers recently, so I'll take Dubois.

 

[wetcoast]

Tkachuk for the entertainment value.

Pretty much this but it's really close.

 

[Mrb1p]

If it was for the Habs Id go Dubois 10/10 because that would allow them to not use Danault on the first line and that would make me just so happy.

Otherwise Tkachuk.

 

[lawrence]

Dubois because he's more classy.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Tkachuk is a better hockey player.
