Dillon Dubé would be another pick the Avalanche could find early in the second round with their 40th overall selection. Dubé is a smaller player, but his skating ability and hockey IQ make him a dangerous one, not only in the offensive end but in his forecheck and shot blocking, too.
Dubé has an exceptional shot that he can get off quickly and accurately but also has great vision of the ice during an offensive rush that allows him to setup his teammates for threatening scoring opportunities.
High-energy, high-IQ guys are something the Avalanche have traditionally valued. Dillon Dubé fits into that mold and can help strengthen the forward core in the organization.
