Dubinsky played with Jagr on the first line before too, he showed up for every series except for last year against the Senators.

I would surely hope that a center is better at face offs than a winger. Maybe Callahan has more offensive zone starts, because he's not an offensive black hole?
Playing with Jagr, I would hope that Dubi didn't disappear in the playoffs.
And it's obvious what the organization thought of the Callahan vs. Dubinsky argument. Callahan was made captain, Dubi didn't even get a letter, even when Staal was out. And Brandon Dubinsky now lives in Columbus.
