SCOUTING REPORT · AI, FROM THE NUMBERS
The player.
WHO HE IS · LONG TERM
Dubois is the quintessential modern power center, a man-child who skates with surprising grace for his considerable size. He's not just a scorer, but a potent playmaker who excels at using his frame and vision to unlock passing lanes and distribute the puck effectively, making him a constant threat to create offense for himself and his linemates.
