Jamie Benn is actually a really good, spot on comparison. I see a lot of similarities
Let’s hope!

Who were the "jump to conclusioners" that claimed this guy was a huge disappointment or bust after last year?
Good for Dubois. Looks like he's adapted to the NHL game quickly. Not sure what happened to Wennberg but CBJ need Dubois to be that big center to replace Johansen's impact.

Werenski was able to be sheltered by Jones all season last year and this year. Dubois hasn't had that luxury. Dubinsky got hurt and Wennberg disappeared, leaving him, Sedlak and Foligno. It was sink or swim and he's done a damn good job staying above water this season.
Him, Anderson and Panarin basically carried the team for at least a few weeks. He's had to shoulder a ton of responsibility and he's performed beyond all expectations. Someone putting up a ton of points on a terrible team is going to win the Calder and that's fine, but I personally wouldn't trade Dubois for any of them.

I see Toews as his likely potential, Benn as his max.
I think he’s more of a offensive than Couturier.

Coots has 31 goals.. 71 points. +26 this season. I think you’re undervaluing Couturier immensely, friend.
Dubois would get those numbers between G and Voracek/Konecny this year as well

Dubois has 44 points at 19. Couturier has only got more than 40 points 1 time... this year.

Dubois making GM Kekäläinens choice of not picking his countryman Poolparty looking pretty good atm

And people were laughing at Jarmo at the draft. LOL at Oilers picking Puljujarvi. Propably the biggest finnish bust ever. He shouldn't have propably been drafted at all even during the later rounds, let alone at the top of the draft.
It ain't over for Pulju yet. Just look at guys like the Sedins, for example. Sometimes, it takes a while for players to bloom and he had huge potential going in to the draft, with international numbers matching all-time greats. I'll be patient.
However, for immediate help, Jarmo definitely made the right choice.

He went into bit of a lull there for a while. Good to see him get some production going, although the level of fight left in Calgary isn't all that great tbh. but if he finishes out the season strong, he'll be a welcomed addition to Team Canada at the WHC should he become available.

Some fans. A few fans. Not all or even close to a majority. And they're extremely wrong.

I see your point, but Couturier’s role/deployment prior to this year was wildly different than Dubois’
William Karlsson, Evander Kane, and now Dubois all had their first career hat tricks against the Flames in the past month so it’s like the reverse for the Flames

Jackets are also number 2 in the nhl in goal scoring by defenseman , behind Nashville . While we all tooting Keks performance as a gm, look at Markus Nutivaara. He was a 7th round pick in the 2015 draft, and has 7 goals and 16 assist in 60 games this season, and has the potential to be another great defenseman in the NHL. He was just resigned yesterday to a 4 yr extension at 2.7 mill per season , which is a steal when you watch him play .
