And like you said it would ahve to be for a guy they know can work with Jagr and also for a reasonable price - that for me might include a Dawes but certainly not a player like Staal. Remember especially come playoff time you can't have enough depth especially at center and on d.

I still would rather have Avery there, but he's been surprisingly good. Jed Ortmeyer scored a goal a couple of days ago. if you watch the NHL.com highlights of the game, you'll see him BLOW two tap in chances, but finally get a goal on a Huet mistake that he slams home into an empty net.

Dubinski is still learning the game at the NHL level and he has been nothing short of great. Sure he has some rookie moments but in the last 5 games his game has matured incredibly. The Straka, Dubi, JJ line played the entire first half of the ottawa game in the offensive zone. When Gomez played with JJ they were terrible. Dubi is gonna be a stud... and I think the points and goals will come. I hope they change nothing! Hold on.

Where would he play otherwise? I'm not opposed to trading Dubi, considering our depth @ center. But we better make damn sure that pivot can play with Jagr, or we're beat.

Hence when I see value in a player more than his points I'll point it out (examples Straka, Drury and Cullen when he was here). And when I see a player I want no part of despite his points like Atl's Hossa I'll point that out as well. But I do see some uneven play (looking awkward at times) in Dubi. Hopefully he'll grow out of it. But I don't want that to interfere with our playoff run hopes. And yes I do like his defensive side of things which is important as well. And it's not just a youth thing as I am very comfortable with our young guys on d. I think Dubi is more of a 3rd line center in a perfect world. But we weren't getting 1st line center type play from the other 2 either playing with JJ. So we'll see how it goes but I could see a rental center coming here at the deadline.
