Part of the sign-after-Oct 15 group suspended until Dec 1; potential top-nine or third-line role depending on training camp performance and roster moves; impacts fantasy projections.

Dubé’s status amid the five acquitted players centers on whether he commands a reliable scoring role despite PR concerns. His appeal lies in youth, scoring ability, and potential to anchor a line, but teams will weigh reputation and locker-room implications before committing significant minutes.

Dubé, 27, left back-to-back 18-goal seasons with Calgary. After a 20-month layoff, his return is highly anticipated as a scoring winger who can contribute immediately if he teams up with the right linemates. His value hinges on how quickly he re-enters top-nine duties and the Flames’ goal-scoring depth.

Dube acquitted; Flames forward with potential to reclaim top‐6 or PK roles upon return; his 2025 26 return hinges on reestablished chemistry and especially power play opportunities.

Dillon Dube, Flames forward, returns to NHL after off-ice controversy with a chance to re-enter the top-9 and potentially boost Calgary’s secondary scoring. His prior production and versatility give him latent fantasy upside if he earns a steady wing spot and favorable minutes upon return, especially on a line with playmaking wingers and power-play alignment.
