Zoolander Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Similar to the Laine vs Puljijarvi debate at 2nd OA, which of these two North American forwards would you take at 4th OA? Both players have similar numbers in their respective leagues and look to be very promising blue-chip prospects. Dubois may have the higher ceiling, but Tkachuk seems to have a much higher floor. I used to be adamant about picking PLD at 4th Overall, but Tkachuk is having a very impressive showing so far in the OHL playoffs. With 16pts in 7 games for London, I'm leaning more towards Tkachuk at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumerman77 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 This is a much needed topic. I think Tkachuk is good, but slightly overrated especially his stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEON.KNEE Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Dubois is a much safer pick...so I am not interested...You pretty much get what you see with Dubois, a big capable player that will be solid in all zones even at the NHL level. With Tkachuk you could end up with an NHL All STar power forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspie Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Tkachuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bissurnette Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 If we get the 4th I'd take Tkachuk for sure. If we get 5th I'd take Chycrun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Dubois easily for me, I don't understand what people don't like about him, hes got it all really. He's huge skilled and the driving force of that Cape Breton team in every way really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Not sure why there is so much hate on Dubois. I would love either one of them and hopefully we are in a position to take either one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does look like his game will translate to the NHL level, but I don't see him being as dominant...Effective yes, but not dominant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we are not in a position where we need to pick between them, and we select in the top 4 (Matthews, Finns, or Chychrun). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnLocke Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Unbelievable. Pierre-Luc Dubois is way better than Tkachuk Are you guys watching these guys play or just watching stats? I'm actually surprised that Tkachuk is winning this poll, because the general consensus around the hockey community is that PLD is better than Tkachuk. CDC is the only place where people think Tkachuk is better. http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/showthread.php?t=2050751&highlight=tkachuk+dubois http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/poll.php?do=showresults&pollid=130195 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
